Over the last two weeks of Shaunomac's internet radio show, Subject2Discussion on lvrocks, more Battlestar Galactica series news has been revealed.
First up, a major spoiler to Episode 211 ("Resurrection Ship") is that Commander Adama is promoted to Admiral status and is now in charge of the Battlestars Galactica & Pegasus.
Secondly, SCI FI sources have indicated that Battlestar Galactica is a "go" for Season 3. While the official word has yet to be reported, producer and writer Ron Moore is already discussing story ideas to future episodes. According to Moore, "We’re looking into larger story arcs as to where the series is ultimately going...We’ve had preliminary discussions about conceptually what we want the third season to reflect and how we would approach it.” See more of Moore's latest interview at NowPlayingMagazine .
Finally, original Battlestar: Galactica actor Richard Hatch made a special appearance on Shaunomac's show this past Wednesday night, September 14th, and had this to say about the new series:
"When the miniseries first aired, the first 4 hours, it was very difficult for me. It was so different that I found it hard to relate to the show. Once the crew got into space [however], they got into the core of what the original series was all about...[And] they have created a dynamic, intricate show in such a short period of time."
Hatch is not surprised by the show's popularity and believes that Universal is fully commited the new series. When asked whether a continuation series would work at this point in time, Hatch indicated "it's unlikely. Maybe a continuation movie or series of movies, or animated movies [is possible]."
The issue of recasting Starbuck and Boomer as women was raised in the course of the interview. Hatch replied that those changes "did not upset me. They've made these characters so uniquely their own you can't compare them...I was upset by not having the original series [and characters] updated."
Speaking about his portrayal of Tom Zarek, Hatch indicated that he was notified a little over a week ago that Zarek would be appearing in Episode 213 and filming of that story has already started. According to Richard, "Tom has lost his way due to his idealism. He ended up in prison because of it, like many good men gone bad. And now he's struggling to make his way back up out of the darkness. He's very heroic, but with a dark side."
Hatch does not know how many more episodes he will be guest-starring in. Clearly, he is enjoying himself, working with such noted actors as Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell. He has nothing but praise for the show and is glad that the reimagined version of Galactica is a hit on the SCI FI Channel.
So Say We All, Richard! Be sure to catch the Battlestar Galactica midseason cliffhanger, "Pegasus," which airs on Friday, September 23. It should be a blast!
