"SCI FI Channel on Feb. 10 announced that it has given the green light to produce 13 episodes of a new Battlestar Galactica series, based on the channel's "reimagined" Galactica miniseries that aired in December 2003. The network has ordered 13 one-hour episodes of the show, which will bring back cast members Edward James Olmos (Adama), Mary McDonnell (Laura Roslin), Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck) and Tricia Helfer (Number Six).

Production is slated to begin next month in Vancouver, B.C., the network announced. Ronald D. Moore (Carnivale, Roswell) returns as executive producer. Galactica will be produced exclusively for SCI FI, in association with Sky One and distributed by USA Cable Entertainment, where David Eick, an executive producer of the miniseries, serves as executive vice president."



I myself enjoyed the miniseries, I'm looking forward to seeing the episodes.

I didn't. I thought it was crap.

Should've just kept Farscape.

I'll give it ashot because I thought the miniseries was fine. Better than most other television these days, although it didn't have the "heart" of the original. Maybe with a half-season they'll cover more ground -- and explain the sudden ending!

Odd that they only mention those four actors returning. Granted, the others in the cast (most notable the people who played Apollo, Baltar and Boomer) didn't blow my doors off, but I saw no reason to jettison them. I would have thought at least two of thoe noteworthy enough to mention in the press release. Then again, they did cover the credibility (Olmos and McDonnell) and the hot chick (Sackhoff and Helfer) angles, so I guess no one really gives rat's ass about Jamie Bamber.

Oh, I have wasted my life.

Yay!

Ditto!

I thought the miniseries was fun - here's hoping they can continue to write engaging scripts!

I [HEART] Starbuck! (Boy, if I said that 20 years ago my parents would have been very worried!)

Bypassing obvious "flame" jokes...

Better bypass the obvious "eater" jokes, too ...
