Details have emerged of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA prequel which airs this fall on Sci-Fi Channel, says Cinema Blend & Home Media Magazine. The prequel itself will be a two-part stand alone in the series covering over 50 years in the BSG timeline. All the current cast of BSG will be in the two parter but there will also be past characters showing up in the stand alone as well such as Michelle Forbes(Admiral Cain).

Executive producer Ronald D. Moore told Home Media Magazine that the prequel will cover the entire history of the Pegasus as well as showing the original Cylon Centurions. The prequel will not answer any cliffhangers from Season 3 but the backstory itself will play a part in the story of Season 4.

A few weeks after this two part prequel airs on November 24, the dvd of it will be released including footage that wasn't show on the television version. No word yet on when the Season 3 of BSG will be on Dvd but people assume it's close to this date since Season 4 will be begin in January 2008.

To see a teaser for the prequel, watch the below clip.

Why and how is this news? We all ALL this before. There is nothing NEW about this NEWs.

And you should change the title because people will thing this has something to do with Caprica.

THANKS SNALLYGASTER!
I"M FREAKIN STOKED!
BRING ON BSG!!!

I agree, bring it on, cant wait!!

As for bdd, cry me a river, you baby, I hate when people say "this isn't news, I all ready know this, wahhhhh" as if this wasted your precious time. Because I for one didn't know this covered 50 years, thought it was just about Admiral Cain's crew.

Nobody knew this would cover 50 years in the timeline and that the original Cylons would be appearing in the story until the Home Media Magazine mentioned above revealed it.

Nor did they know about the dvd appearing a few weeks after the show airs.

Guys, just ignore Bdd. He's been coming at me about "News" for a good month now even when it is news.

He does the same exact thing about anything related to Star Trek XI casting being news as if I need to spell out the entire plot for the next Star Trek movie (before it even goes into production) or not say anything at all.

That's what he does....Constant complaints by Bdd.

I learned to ignore him a long time ago if hes just doing his patented "News complaint" thing. I advise people to do the same.

DarkJedi • Aug 07, 2007, 08:49pm •
lol Yes, now that's a credible "news" complaint, ira.

Consider me humbled. :)

Hold on now, you're telling me there's a NEW Battlestar Galactica show out? Now that is news, do they still wear capes?

snallygaster • Aug 07, 2007, 09:44pm •
No capes, Yeoman. And - hold onto your hat - Muffy is now a female robot daggit!

The original Cylons thing is not new at all! It has been out for week and that they will be CGI, it they are in it that means the show was gonig back about 40 years, Moore has said that himself in interviews for weeks ago.

So look up your infomation otherwise you look like fucking dumbasses who don't know what they are talknig about. oh wait that is you.
