SCI FI Channel announced that it has renewed its original series Battlestar Galactica for a third season. Production on the 20-episode order is slated to begin in Vancouver, Canada, in February 2006 for premiere later in the year, the network said.
The entire ensemble cast returns for the new season, including Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. Also returning are executive producer and writer Ronald D. Moore and executive producer David Eick.
Currently in its second season, Galactica is a hit with audiences. The second season resumes with new episodes on Jan. 6, 2006, as part of the winter premiere of SCI FI Friday. Battlestar Galactica is from NBC Universal Television Studio.

I don't think anyone doubted it would happen, but it's nice to see something official about it!

Well, if the rest of the second season ever has a time when one of those characters is in danger, we know now that they won't die.

So...spoilerific.
Unless they all die and the third season is all episodes of the Cylons drinking beers and talking about it.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Or it's just a cut and paste of cast names.
Or Trisha Helfer want's to get paid for each breast! Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Two of those characters could die multiple times, of course.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Or all the characters swap minds- then the entire cast could change gender and keep the same actors...

"Two of those characters could die multiple times, of course."
Sure, but we already knew that all along, anyway.
Come to think of it, I guess we now know that Roslin's whole cancer thing is going to get fixed.

Or she's a Cylon.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Or a cylon Jesus shows up and heals her...
Or she dies midway through the season and is listed so as not to give it away.
I'm betting on Cylon Jesus.

Yes, yes you would.

Solenoid crucifix. (incidentally my imaginary band's new name)
I am glad to hear we'll have another season. I just hope it won't involve rocket-powered motorcycles.

My imaginary band's name is "The Van Nuys Monster". I always thought that would rock.
