Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the meet-the-new-boss dept.

jangobongo writes "SCI FI Channel announced that the second season of its hit original series Battlestar Galactica will premiere this summer with 20 new episodes, after earlier confirming their commitment to the show. Production will resume in March in Vancouver, B.C., with the entire ensemble cast returning, along with executive producer and writer Ronald D. Moore and executive producer David Eick. Averaging over 3 million viewers per episode, the series has quickly become SCI FI's highest-rated original series. No news on when a UK premeire might occur, but with Battlestar Gallactica ranking number 9 out of the top ten most popular TV program downloads worldwide, I don't think UK fans would have to wait long in any case." They're offering the first episode of the show for viewing in a no-charge commercial free venue on the official site.

      Adama: OK. Send the engineers down to work on the Vipers. Get that limey fellow working with Dr. Baltar on a plan to destroy that Base Star. And send that one to my quarters.

      Chief: Right away, sir.

    I still can't believe you didn't know Starbuck was singular.

    Complaints that Starbuck is now a girl
    People wishing Starbuck was still a womanizer

    I won't complain much about the being a girl part. She's actually pretty cute. But I definately find myself wishing she were still a womanizer.

    I'm not real familiar with the "old" BSG, but as far as I can tell, the new one is totally different. It's an excellent show.

    This explanation is both hilarious and completely true : )

    But you forgot to mention that the best thing about the old Galactica has been included in the new galactica: Shiny robots with a red "eye" that goes back and forth! W00T!

    Now I'll go back to pondering the possibility that K.I.T.T. was the illegitimate child of a Cylon and General Lee... carry on.
