Well, I said it before, I’d like to see it become a regular series and Booya!: SciFiWire: Ronald D. Moore, executive producer of SCI Channel’s upcoming new series Battlestar Galactica, told SCI FI Wire that the 13-episode first season will pick up where the hit December miniseries left off and will build on that show’s characters and situations. SCI FI on Feb. 10 formally announced a green light for production to begin on the Galactica series, which will bring back cast members Edward James Olmos (Adama), Mary McDonnell (Laura Roslin), Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck) and Tricia Helfer (Number Six), among others. Production commences next month in Vancouver, B.C.

As the new series begins, “a few days have passed since the miniseries, and we’re in sort of a dire situation right from the get-go,” Moore said in an interview. “I think one of the hallmarks of the series will be that it’s always going to be a tense situation. These people are always going to be one step away from disaster. Which doesn’t mean that the Cylons will be attacking them every week. But I think the nature of their situation and the reality of what they’re facing out there alone, with most of them left with the clothes on their back and whatever food and supplies they happen to have on those ships when the events of the pilot occur is only, God, the beginning. And it’s going to take a long time for them to get to any kind of stability or normalcy.”

Now let’s see the mother of all sci-fi programs, Space 1999, return to the airwaves! [What Do You Think? Comment on this Post!]
