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.

    (H)ow is 3.2 millions almost twice the 2 StarTrek fans?

    Considering the likelihood that BG fans as a group have actually had sexual intercourse at least once in their life, the potential numbers of BG vice StarTrek fans are staggering.

    So you say over 1.6 millon people watched Enterprise by accident?

    I thought the first two episodes were superb. I think last week's episode which has Starbuck patching a Cylon ship with her jacket, breathing oxygen out of a tube (lucky she didn't hit a toxic hydraulic line), and flying the ship based on her "pitch, roll, yaw, power" mantra was plain silly.

    I'll keep TiVo'ing, though. It's a good series with potential. After a while, the irresolvable saddness of the Adama family just wont keep my interest anymore.

    Because religious nut-jobs keep trying to interfere with our lives. If they'd just fuck of and not interfere, we'd be happy to leave them alone.

    If your panties are in such a wad over it I suggest writing more story for them and sending it in.

    Gee, you mean there's something else Moore stole to incorporate into this?

    Well, seeing as how BSG came out before video games (IBM PC's for that matter) even hit the scene, I'd say Homeworld stole from BSG, although get rid of the ribbed ship and replace it with the Mothership, lose the slut in the red dress with the glowing spine, change the name of the show, and you've got a winner there.
