SCI FI Renews Galactica

SCI FI Channel has ordered a second season of its hit series Battlestar Galactica, which has aired five episodes of its first season of 13 episodes. Details of the renewal—including which cast members will return, how many episodes will be produced and when the second season will commence—were still being worked out at press time.

Battlestar Galactica has been a ratings winner for SCI FI since its Jan. 14 premiere. The latest episode, Feb. 4's "You Can't Go Home Again," scored the show's best ratings yet, with 3.2 million viewers.

For the show's second season, creator and executive producer Ronald D. Moore previously told SCI FI Wire that he has already been working on as many as six new scripts to resolve the multiple cliffhangers that will end season one. Moore added that he wants to delve deeper into the show's religious themes and open up the Cylon world a bit more in the coming season. Moore continues to post his thoughts on a personal blog on SCIFI.COM. Battlestar Galactica airs Fridays at 10 p.m. ET/PT, part of the channel's SCI FI Fridays lineup.

So say we all!

Shiny news. I really like the series so far. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

That's great news!

I followed the series on Sky One and wasn't disappointed! It's a brilliant show!

It'll be interesting to see how they deal with the aftermath of the series finale. It was unbelievable! (It's still fresh in my mind while I'm typing this.)

Great to hear that they'll explore the Cylon world a little more in season two.

Thanks for sharing!

What BC said, in spades! I'm enjoying finding the "reimaging" elements from the original, and basking in the glory that is the removal of quadrapedal robots from the BSG 'verse!

Are we to understand that you were never fond of the stupid robot dog, Muffet?

I LOVE this version of BSG. Totally love it. I've abandoned all other Friday night pursuits (prepaid season tickets be damned if the game is up against BSG - I cannot wait for a VCR version the next day but must see it NOW!!!!!) and skip blinking for an hour.

Starbuck kicks ass. I love this girl. Dirk Benedict was a pretty boy, but never believable as an ace pilot with killer instinct. This Starbuck rocks.

So say we all.

I have to say when I saw Boxy in the pilot I was terrified that were going to have him and Muffet on the show. I rolled my eyes and let out an audible groan which elicited a laugh from my wife.

Thankfully we have not seen them in the series (knock on wood). Hopefully we won't either.
