News zur 2. Staffel (Spoiler)

The second season will also resume with new episodes on January 6, 2006. Episode 211, "Resurrection Ship," will resolve the "Pegasus" cliffhanger, but will then pose its own cliffhanger. A decision was made by Ron Moore to extend the "Resurrection Ship" storyline to Episode 212 as there was too much material to cover in just a single episode.

One of the more recent Moore blogs posted on the SCI FI Galactica homepage this past October also indicated that Ron was dissatisfied with one of the later Galactica episodes.

"I found myself not only dissatisfied last night," Moore stated, "but positively angry with myself at something I knew in my bones had fallen well below the bar I set for myself and for the show in general. I won't go into it now (maybe later) but it was one of those situations where I looked at something and had to listen to the voice inside my head say, 'You screwed this one up.' Nothing pisses me off more than not making a show the best I think it can be and in this case, there was no one to blame but myself."

Sources close to the Battlestar Galactica production have indicated that Ron was referring to the long anticipated Cylon point-of-view (PoV) episode, 218. Apparently, that episode has been trashed and with the extra-episode (212) inserted, 217 will be replacing 218. Whether fans will ever see the Cylon PoV storyline (or not) remains to be determined.

Season 2 will end with a two-parter (Episodes 219 and 220) and the "mother of all" cliffhangers. But take heart, Galactica fans, for the first episodes of Season 3 will resolve that crisis.

Battlestar Galactica is the highest-rated SCI FI show in its programming lineup, and with the official pickup there is no doubt that it will continue to be a hit on Friday nights. Stay tuned to Flight Deck for more news about upcoming episodes of the new Galactica.

Schade, dass die Episode aus Sicht der Cylonen gestrichen wurde. Hoffentlich kommt die Folge in der dritten Staffel. Ich habe ja von Gerüchten gehört, das die Folge gestrichen wurde, weil die Cylonen zu gut wegkommen würden, obwohl sie ja der feind wären. Und hoffentlich leidet nicht die Qualität der Episode "Resurrection Ship" unter der recht kurzfristigen Änderung.

Details About 'Resurrection Ship'
SCI FI's description for January's kick-off episode

Below is SCI FI Channel's press release with the logline and a synopsis for the midseason premiere of Battlestar Galactica. The second half of season two commences Friday, January 6 on SCI FI Channel in the U.S.

Battlestar Galactica – "Resurrection Ship, Part 1"

Logline: A military power struggle threatens to escalate into all-out war as the battlestars Galactica and Pegasus attempt to join forces to destroy a critical Cylon target: a "Resurrection" ship.

Synopsis: Lt. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace (Katee Sackhoff) prevents a potentially deadly face-off between the battlestars Galactica and Pegasus when she arrives at the last minute bearing stunning recon photos of the Cylon “Resurrection” ship. Unable to resist this tempting target, Commander William Adama (Edward James Olmos) and Admiral Helena Cain (Michelle Forbes) establish an uneasy truce as they agree to prioritize the destruction of the “Resurrection” ship, tabling their conflicts, for now. But Adama remains distrustful, as he learns that Cain's survive-at-all-costs attitude saw Pegasus abandon its civilian fleet months ago. Disturbed by this news, President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) believes that as soon as the Resurrection ship is destroyed, Cain will jettison Galactica's civilian fleet. As the power struggle continues with Cain, Adama must make an impossible decision, on the eve of a battle that could change the face of the Cylon war.
