COOL!
When I first heard that SCI FI channel was re-doing Battlestar Galactica my second reaction was to think "WTF?" My first reaction was mopped off the kitchen floor and not spoken of again. Thank you Jen!
We watched it and it is actually very very good -- same basic premise as the first series but with decent writing, talent and a good budget.
Today
it was announced that it is go for a second season!!!

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.
bq. 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.
