That\'s what I thought, but apparently there are only two of them.

Oh BTW apparently from what I read (somewhere) they were planning on leaving it open *in case* they decide to continue it as a real series.

But I have no idea how it ends because it doesn\'t start for another hour

[AendarCallenlasse]

It is very open-ended, plus the way it ends is very surprising...

Firefly sucked they stopped making Dark Angel for firefly which i hated it was so lame it was like a crapy western in space. But Dark angel had a story

thats my two cents


(edit)

Battlestar was good but the ending sucked for me. The battlestar had no weapons for like 5 hours (first part and second) then in the last bit of the show it fires some weapons but think about this the battlestar blocked a path to let there ships get away and the Basestar (bad guys battleship) which has distroyed tons of other ships does little to no damage to the battlestar. Its a screwed up way to have a space battle. Scifi needs to pick up a copy of BattleFleet gothic by gameswork shop to learn how space battles should work......

Argh, I can\'t believe its over so soon, I thought there would be a third episode... Bah!  Considering that Sci-Fi doesn\'t have many new original serieses (Next season looks good for Sci-Fi, though; Tripping the Rift and that one new reality show, especially), I think its probably certain that Battlestar Galactica will be picked up, doubly so if they get positive feedback.  Although, the production value would most certainly would be lower than the miniseries.

A new Battlestar Galactica series might actually be good, with some of the twists they introduced; especially the final one, which shows that Imperious Leader may be on the Galactica, herself.

Battlestars aren\'t really supposed to engage in direct combat, they\'re more a rough equivlent to aircraft carriers; although they certainly have enough weapondry to defend themselves and occasionally go on the offensive.  Commander Cain (Forgot of which Battlestar) in the original series took on 3 Cylon Basestars (Supposedly some of the best in the Cylon fleet, given to Baltar by Imperious Leader to destroy the Galactica) with only the help of 2 Vipers manned by Starbuck and Apollo.  They successfully destroyed 2 of them, but the third supposedly destroyed the Battlestar, although that\'s only an assumption since no one knew for sure and they didn\'t actually show it destroyed.

Anyway, the point of that battle was not to destroy the Basestar, but to buy time for the convoy\'s escape; so they were obviously playing defensively.

Well Futurama rocked by all standards. My personal favorite is Bender the Offender..

But I am not sure about Farscape. It started out good. I followed it for about 2 months or so. Then they turned it sappy and Xfile like. Half the time scorpius was either in whatshisname\'s head and half the time out of it and there it was hard to tell who\'s evil and who\'s good. They turned down the Whack bang and went heavy on mush. Half the time the peacekeeper chick was looking at the guy and thinkin about makin out but not doing it for some reason. The bad guy joined them. Moya\'s kid turned out to be a nervous wreck. It was all getting too confusing and crappy Xfiles style. Then Dargo and his son had sex with the same blue alien chick I said to hell with it and gave it up. All in all it started out good then went from sucks to Uber-sucks. How did it end?? Did the guy get back?

I hope Andromeda doesn\'t walk the same road. The only space story I have thought consistently good is Star Trek.

Wow, yeah they definitely left Battlestar open for a new series...

Anyway, it would be pretty cool if they did start it up again; I would watch it for sure.  Although I did see during one of the Scifi commercials a list of the new shows coming up, which included \"Stargate Atlantis\" which I really hope doesn\'t blow.  SG-1 is such an awesome show and I want to see it go on for a long time, but I know that\'s asking a lot.

from the previews I can say the remake was well done, well written, and looked great.

I can also say it wasn\'t Battlestar galactica. It had the same name and the characters had the same names but that was the only similarity. why couldn\'t they have called it something else and said it was inspired by the old series?

doesn\'t mean it isn\'t a good show just that is definitely isn\'t battlestar galactica.

[Vengeance]

It wasn\'t \"different Apollo and Starbuck\" and \"everything\'s changed\"... it was set 40 years later!  These were the sons and grandsons of those people!  (and daughters).

Maybe that clears it up for you.
