I would LOVE it if BG has anything added to it. I was sad to see that this season was going to be the last. With such a fine cast and great story, which of course comes from the writers, PLEASE keep this series going. It is nowhere near running out of story lines.

Awesome. If this goes exactly right with timing, they could be filming the pilot, then magically the strike ends, and suddenly they have a hit on their hands, and a full staff of writers! That would be so cool.

Honestly, I don't know why SciFi wasn't jumping on this in the first place... I know I'd watch!

Or you could say, "For once, pony-tailed corporate suits won't have a chance to mess with the writers' product, so we'll get something with a conclusion that doesn't suck."

Bastille Day was just on Universal HD (they are starting the entire show from the beginning all in HD) ... I had forgotten how powerful the early episodes were

Bring it on. The more BSG the better!

I love that Season 3 cover. Oh and this prequel thing would be nice.

By the way maybe someone here can answer this one for me... how is it that BSG will start up in March if there's a strike going on? They didn't finish filming the entire season did they?

Regardless of what happens this is good news. I am eager to see what Ron Moore and his crew can do with the idea. If the flashback webisodes leading up the Razor are any indication it could be very good. No matter what happens with this strike, Sci Fi would be foolish to let Ron Moore slips through their hands.

Brad, don't apologise. 'bsgfan2003' is an idiot. It's perfectly reasonable to be skeptical about the production of a BSG prequel just to keep some people in work.

Brad - I did not mean for that to read so rudely. I should have used a :)

"...how good the resulting product would actually be?"
With respect to you - hush it. Just let the process move forward in peace. Galactica fans are getting an unexpected gift. I for one, am counting my blessings.
