Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-show-that-deserves-it dept.

Chairboy writes "The Sci-Fi Channel has just announced the renewal of Battlestar Galactica for a second season. The creator of the show has announced that the second season will delve into the religious issues surrounding the Cylons in addition to opening up their society more. The latest episode had 3.2 million viewers, almost twice as many as watched the latest episode of Star Trek Enterprise." I said it before, and I'll say it again- this is the best Sci Fi program currently airing, so I'm happy to see more.

    The original storyline was a retelling of a lot of Mormon teachings


    So, THAT'S why Starbuck was romancing 7 women!

    Religious issues with robots none the less. I like the show a lot. I just find that a bit hokey.

    Have you ever asked yourself if androids dream of electric sheep?

    Being in the UK, but without Sky tv (as I am unable+unwilling to pay Mr Murdoch any more than he already has), I have to agree that the last episode hit me like a torrent [ahem]

    I know it's whack that Adama and the president turn out tobe Cylons.

    now with fighting between the ships in the convoy and the Galactica completely disabled and watching the ending as they leave the galactica behind for the Cylons to capture defenseless really pissed me off.

    i can not wait for season 2!

    "Boomer was an African-American guy."

    You're just reading someone elses hype. If you had ever watched the show back in "the old days" you would know that the humans in the show were not from Earth. Boomer therefore was not from Earth. Boomer had never been to Africa or America and could not possibly have been from either location.

    For someone who's so uptight about someone elses political correctness, I'm suprised how misinformed you were on that count.
