January 30, 2004 - Battlestar Galactica Greenlighted! - According to a handful of sources, Battlestar Galactica has been given the greenlight for series. More information will be published as soon as more official word come from the Sci Fi Channel.

Great!!

I dooubted this project, but must admit to being very impressed with the finished article. So what if they changed the sex of some of the characters!

Yah! Maybe now they will tell us more about all of those evil questions that they left us hanging with! Earth that never was? Boomer? GAH!

Being of my generation I never saw the old school BSG, But I thought all of the "switched" characters were much with the shiny all on their own merits.

As long as they don't run across "Terra", the new BSG should do just fine.

They can't - the second they run across it, it's over. If they do, it would have to be WAY late in the series, and they would have to find "Terra" far more updated than us. FAR FAR FAR more.

it's not greenlighted as of yet, the signs do look good BUT until there's an official word i wouldn't read too much into it.

Sci fi are still doing budget stuff etc, they're commeted to a lot right now

SG-1 (season 8)
stargate: Atlantis
Quantum Leap Mini series/pilot for new series
Andromeda

etc, for a small cable channel, that's a lot of money to be paying out.

well, i'm in the camp that is wanting the series - so a qualified YAY until more news comes in.

To change the subject temporarily...What is Stargate: Atlantis?

I'm an old Battlestar Galactica loyalist and a rabid fan of the books of Richard Hatch and loved his vision for the show, if he were in charge it would have been great. So I wish this new B.G. nothing but doom and defeat. And why is this Moore guy convinced Starbuck hated authority he didn't. Moore allways says in interviews Starbuck is the same but female and she hates authority too. But Starbuck had no problem with authority he just liked women,gambleing and smoking on his down time. The new hates authority Starbuck has nothing what so ever to do with the old.

Why couldn't they bring back the cast of the most popular Sci-Fi show in history? With the exception of the X-Files wich is only sci-fi because there is no other place to put it B.G. was the highest rated sci-fi show of all time 24 in fact in the 78-79 ratings.

And by the way B.G. the original was not a money looser it was just ABC thought since Star Wars was so big it should be one or two in the ratings.And since it wasn't they could make 20 other shows for the same money and at least one of them might be one or two ratings wise ABC made fat cash on B.G.

Anyway I like the original B.G. family feel not the stupid excessivly cute aspects but just the fact that it was for adults children and everyone in between. I mean if you have a child of 7 wich I was at the time of the original B.G. and show him or her the old show thats great. If you show a seven year old the new over sexed Battlestar I suggest your a bad parent.

This show would be okay but they should call it something else because at best it's only vaguely based on Battlestar Galactica.

I am looking forward to the new series as well. It may very well be everything the old one wasnt, starting with quality acting.

I am old enough to remember the original series, and to put it bluntly-It sucked. Taking a whole bunch of cool things (The ships, most of the FX and an interesting premise) and put them in a blender with crap writing and crapier acting all we got was a bucket of puke.

Anybody remember "The Gun On Ice Planet Zero"?

How about All of Galactica 1980?

Gimme a break.
