La-La Land Records presents BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Season Two, the original soundtrack from the second season of the Sci-Fi Channel's critically acclaimed, top-rated television series starring Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff.

Composer Bear McCreary builds on his impressive Season One accomplishments and once again delivers a sensational, emotionally rich score that ingeniously melds orchestra, vocals, percussion and synthesizer.

Simply put, an amazing compilation that brings sci-fi television music to new heights! Former Oingo-Boingo member Steve Bartek plays featured guitar on Black Market track!

This is a comprehensive collection of the very best musical moments from this revolutionary sci-fi drama's second season.

Great soundtrack.
Favorite moment was their bringing in the original score mid way through the season. It made me tingly all over.

Ethnic flute, drums, drums and more drums... (yawn)

Glen Larson speaks out against SFC's molesting his BSG source material!

‘Battlestar Galactica’ returns
But fans of original are wary of remake


Updated: 1:15 p.m. ET Dec. 9, 2003

Hatch understands the fan sentiment.
“I had a lot of anger and frustration because I saw a studio not on any level being receptive to what the vast majority of fans wanted,” the actor says in his small apartment littered with “Battlestar” paraphernalia, including a lunchbox, posters and videos.

Hatch, who has written six spin-off novels, tried his own sequel: “Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming.” A four-minute, self-financed trailer has been a hit among conventioneers, but studio executives have been unimpressed.

“Every time they bring back a classic, they always fail because they’ve thrown the baby out with the bath water,” says the 58-year-old Hatch. “They throw away the very elements the fans loved most.”

A few years ago, fans thought they’d get the continuation saga they’d clamored for when Bryan Singer and Tom DeSanto, the director-writer team behind “X-Men,” hooked up with original “Galactica” creator Glen Larson to develop a project at 20th Century Fox.
When that deal fell through, Universal TV chief David Kissinger brought in executive producer David Eick and Moore to rework the franchise for Sci Fi.
“We want the fans to embrace what we are doing,” says Sci Fi President Bonnie Hammer, “but if you produced now what was produced then, it would feel like old TV. We wanted to make it more relatable, even in terms of the stereotypes of characters.”

“I understand they’re trying to do a modern version,” says Larson. “But change for the sake of change — it’s taking the title and exploiting it.”

Spider is a Troll. His posts have really nothing to do with either the old or new version of Galactica. He simply gets off on people's reactions.

There's actualy a good chance that he even likes the new Galactica but admiting that would ruin his trolling buzz.

Simply do not feed the troll and he will go away.

Just ignore the guy.
