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.

    Wanna say that word one more time? What's the deal? I mean you are aware this show is a remake right? I still can't believe they made Starbucks a chick.

    I'm not trolling or trying to start a flamewar, but I was severely dissapointed by the new series. As a fan of the original, I didn't like the feel of this nü-Battlestar Galactica.

  3. Are they still going to rip-off old storylines? by BestNicksRTaken · · Score: 0, Troll

    I think the new Battlestar stinks - especially as it's nothing new (more of a cross between the original series and the books).

    The whole thing with the imaginary nympho Cylon "queen" is crap.

    The dual storyline back on Caprica is pointless.

    Come back Enterprise, all is forgiven!

    Or, if you like to use your computer as a DVD player, grab a copy of VLC instead of using crippled software.

    Yes, kudos for the creators...yet, it's a double edged sword as the "download" is actually a Realplayer broadcast. I mean, come on...realplayer? WTF uses that anymore? It's so so SO crappy in terms of quality. Just pisses me off.

    But still, kudos to the creators.
