Battlestar Galactica Da Movie?

When a woman kicks your ass, it's kind of hot...
_____________________________________

Battlestar Galactica may get a movie after all and Fanboys everywhere cream their pants.

The article also reports that a major character will 'disappear'.

((Rumors abound that character will die in the second half of the Sci Fi drama’s third season, which kicks off Jan. 21. And much of the “who will it be” speculation centers on hotshot pilot Kara “Starbuck” Thrace. ))

Perhaps she just starts an overpriced coffee chain across the galaxy.

What's even more interesting is the talk of a DVD movie...

((Eick and Moore also confirmed that they are in the midst of developing a 2-hour standalone “Battlestar Galactica” film, which may be released between Seasons 3 and 4. If there is no Season 4, then the film, which would probably be released on DVD and air on Sci Fi, would not go forward. ))

What really got my attention is the 'Standalone' term. So, in some way, this movie won't be closely connected to the current storyline. That's an interesting development.

Reminds me of what they did in the Babylon 5 series, one of my all time favourites. They made movies specifically to fit in between not only seasons but even in between certain eps.

The standalone thing disaapoints, but might be welcomed, so new material can be fleshed out and not have any implications on the series, so they don't have to worry about making it fit between the seasons

You're right, that was one thing B5 did right once it was moved to TNT (Network and studio), I think some people don't like the Thirdspace movie and how it fits into the seasons.

I agree that a stanlone tale does free up the writers to write what they want to without worry about Continuty

right now the show shows no signs of slowing down quite yet. i haven't heard anything about the movie, but i know the spin off series 'caprica' is still in the works, as well as the show possibly going into the network television world. my guess is they will stop the show at season 5, hopefully. i don't think anyone wants another stargate.

If there is no Season 4,

IF? As if! Of course there is going to be a season 4!

I'm pretty excited by all that news, Starbuck dying AND the film. Maybe Ronald D. Moore will address it in his first podcast back next week.

@ Mayren: I'll look into this into through Google and see if I can find more details floating around.

@ Paul: I think Moore wouldn't allow the show to drag on for ten years, but if there are good stories to be told...

Remember, he was the one that wanted DS9 to continue on after S7.

@ Jeff: I've heard that Sci-fi nearly blows its budget every year for BattleStar, and the ratings have been down a bit, but i don't think Sci-fi is stupid enough to get rid of their flagship franchise just yet. What else do they have, those stupid Horror movies they show on weekends.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

a U of L cheerleader gets into a little bit of trouble...

Image
The Internet can be a dangerous place, and things that you did with that camera can come back to ruin your life. A very attractive University of Louisville cheerleader by the name of Becca Manns took some pictures of herself naked and also having sex with a dude. Either her memory stick or camera was stolen, and the theft uploaded the graphic photos onto the World Wide Web. That was when the shit hit the fan (Louisville Fan). She ended up having to leave the program and probably school. (I am currently enrolled in UofL as well, but you won't find any photos of me.) I sort of feel sorry for her because she did one crazy thing, and now it has ruined her life. However, I have to say this to her: You were given a chance to do something many people would never get a chance to do, go to an University. You have to learn fairly quickly that every action good or bad has consequences. Exposing yourself probably wasn't good for your career or your life. (James steps off his ...

Bernie Mac RIP

Bernie Mac is Dead A bit of upsetting news... ((CHICAGO (AP) — Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50. )) I remember watching him on Def Comedy Jam , where he really broke out. If you get a chance, check out some of his earlier work on that show. I think he was able to really shine in some of the roles he took in his movie career. He seemed to always play the creepy guy that wore bad clothes and talk in strange patterns. Friday : He was great in this limited role. He played Pastor Clever, the horny Pastor. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood : He played the self-racist cop. What a great moment. Get on the Bus : Another good role, but limited. Ocean's Eleven : He had a few moments to shine in this role, plus third film too. Bad Santa : Very ...
