Battlestar Galactica DVD Movie In the Works?

Philias writes "Although Battlestar Galactica has been going down in ratings and has yet to get picked up for another season, the sales of its DVDs has got Universal thinking of a Direct-To-Video Movie. GeekMonthly.com is reporting that plans are afoot for a film that will bridge the gap between Galactica and the new spinoff 'Caprica.' The film would be shot in March during the usual hiatus between seasons. The big difference between this and the mini-series and other seasons would be that this would be sold on DVD before being aired on the SciFi channel."

"Unfortunately, nobody will be paid for any part of it."

Cool, so we can get high quality DVD rips *before* the shitty TV rips. That'll help my ratios.

Loss of stargate as a lead-in

Loss of stargate as a lead-in is pulling the ratings down.

Some spoilers within.

I agree with you. The more we see of the Cylons, the more uninteresting they become. They joke, they display sarcasm, they fall in love, they have faith, they get angry, jealous, etc. They've taken all the mystery out of them, along with all the menace. They're just annoying zealots who look and act EXACTLY like humans, except they can't be "killed" while they're near a resurrection ship.

The numerous interpersonal conflict-driven stories lately were getting pretty tiresome, and really were slowing things down for the wrong reasons. Although, to be fair, the show has really always been a tad slow. I remember watching a few earlier episodes and realizing that an entire hour of show seemed to cover about 15 minutes of time in the story.

There is some hope left. I was pretty intrigued by the hybrid-thing that controls the Base Stars. And this whole "5 unknown models" thing has some promise. That, at least, adds some mystery back into it. Although, the whole Baltar is-he-or-isn't-he thing is getting dragged on too far long, and I can't see a way for that to be answered that ISN'T disappointing. If he is, then it seems too obvious. If he isn't, then it seems a bit too contrived.

(Just a side not, does it irk anyone else that the Galactica has either gotten twice as powerful, or its crew twice as competant since the start of the show?

Well, when they lost the Pegasus, they kept the crew and the Vipers and Raptors IIRC. So yes, twice as competent sounds about right ;)
