Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer
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.
That's funny. I bet mail order DVD rentals are doing really well. With Tivo and 2 dvds in the mail a week means I haven't watched a commercial since I started doing this. I wish all TV episodes would come out on rental almost immediately so if it is good and people are talking about it then I will watch it. As for anyone watching commercials save yourself about 25 minutes of time foreach (perl:) hour program and start using some kind of PVR and in combination mail order DVD rentals. One day I am going to cease paying for cable and go over the air only if the DVD thing pans out.
I hope this means they can buy tripods for the cameras now. I found the constant shakey-cam, refocusing, and zooming in and out very distracting.

Making Starbuck a female character ruined it. I would welcome female pilots et al, but revisionism for the sake of political correctness blows.
