New Battlestar Galactica?
Well I really liked the new Battlestar Galactica miniseries Sci Fi did... has there been any word or anything on if it will come back as a series or a second continuing miniseries? If so are they gonna use all the same special effects shots in the new series from the pilot, like the did with the original?

Yeah, it's going to be a weekly series...probably a January 2005 debut...but maybe this Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Good news: Richard Hatch (the original Apollo) has signed to guest-star in at least one episode.

At AICN, there's reviews of the first episode of the new series that recently aired in England. Sound's as if the quality is as good as the mini was.
Weird that it airs in England first and we have to wait a couiple of months.

I read where some guy mentioned that the reason it's available on Sky One first is because they funded a big chunk of it. Not sure if they'll be airing each episode regularly from now on or if this was just a teaser for until January.

According to the AICN info, it's showing *weekly* on UK's Sky One starting now...
SciFi has a habit of sitting on half-seasons of their new shows and trotting them out very slowly...
I'll be checking the "usual sources" for 1.1 tonight and weekly thereafter... Wonder if the whole 13 eps have already filmed?

Time to bump for yet another question few people care about.
BravoHD (a rather big waste of an HD channel, if you ask me) became UniversalHD on December 1st and is starting to play plenty of TV titles from it's collection. According to the commercials, they'll be playing this new Battlestar Galatica as well. Does anybody have any information on this? Will each episode play in the same week as the Sci-Fi version, for example?

I can't tell you how any possible HD simulcasts will work...
But I can tell you, I've now watched the first 5 weekly episodes from SkyOne's HD broadcast, and it is a great new show. I predict it'll get lots of 'net love, and I'm surprised more people aren't downloading and watching it already.
If you've got the bandwidth to spare, don't wait. It's at least as good as any other SciFi series one the air... Possibly the best...

damn. I haven't finished getting the first ep yet and was planning on just converting them since I'm getting them in what claims to be the british version of HD broadcast
but watching them on my computer doesn't bother me

If you're getting tired of wanting to watch PC content on your TV, you can always set up your TV as an alternate PC screen...

I actually have a MediaMVP to stream content to my TV. For some unknown reason, each of these episodes are smooshed into the top third of the TV screen. It's a little hard to watch. Maybe another result of being a PAL file? (as for TV Out: the TV is about 25ft from the computer).
I can wait.
