and in more Galactica news

[somedaybitch]

From Dark Horizons:

Sources for Galactica.TV and HNR indicate that the sets are still up and dressed for the recently finished shoot for the 13-episode first season of "Battlestar: Galactica". The reason? In case a second season will be given the green light.

The show, continuing the story from the high rating 2003 mini-series which lead to the first season, began airing the other month on UK's Sky One TV and has proven a big success. The show will not air on US cable television til January and its expected a decision will then be made by Sci-Fi after the first few episodes air as to whether or not to go ahead with a second series.

Should it happen, a February 18th production startup date is tipped to already be set. The production uses the Lions Gate Studios in North Vancouver to film the show.

I'd be just like Skiffy to cancel it. They can be the next F2.

no shit.

this is precisely why i think bittorrent is a good thing not a bad thing. viewers can spread the word in a viral way and seed an audience by the time it reaches US airwaves.

I totally agree. I had no intention of watching it when it aired here, and now you'll have to blow up the tv to get me not to watch it. Whereas if I'd had to wait until it aired, by the time buggs or somebody would convince me to watch it, it would probably already be too later.

you know, I wonder if I know somebody who knows Ron Moore's email. I wouldn't mind opening a dialogue with him about this. Hmm ... maybe Mo. I wonder if she'd be interested in the story, I know she's anxious to watch BSG when it airs here.

duuuuuuuuuuuude. you have a very.big.brain. that's a truly excellent idea. and you know, the entity has cred with the industry so that could help him keep an open mind.

hopefully he's not of the Brad Wright mold.

gack. if he's of the Stephen Chao mold, you guys could end up email buddies.....speaking of which...a certain Duchesne has Chao's email addy.

does she really? ha! we'll see what mo says, if anything. I feel weird sending emails like that. I could probably poke Rock, too.

Well, I'm glad to see that it was successful on SkyOne but I wouldn't be surprised to see SciFi can it in order to put on a reality show about two plumbers who go ghost hunting at night.

Oh wait...
