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.

And there it is.

FINALLY, we have a keeper!!

Discuss!

Best sci-fi in years.

That is all.

I couldn't be happier if they brought back Firefly. The new Battlestar Galactica is everything that Space: Above and Beyond should have been, but wasn't. Let's just hope that the writers keep pumping out good drama so the show lasts beyond two seasons.

Tear for Space Above and Beyond....

Glad it's official I really don't want to have to look for another show to watch

Scifi has now done three good things in a row -

- Letting Battlestar Galactica go to series in the first place.

- Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars

- Picking up Battlestar Galactica Season 2

Are they trying to make us happy or what? This just isn't the same scifi channel I've grown to know and love.

 

[Jamdin]

Yes, score another one for the fans

Awesome! I'm glad to see SciFi becomnig a really good SciFi channel again. For a while it seemed more like they wanted to be more of a horror channel than science fiction.

The mini series actually starts tonight over here, so I'm looking forward to it!
