‘’Battlestar Galactica’’ Renewed For 3rd Season On Sci Fi Network!’’

The new and wayyyy improved Millennium version of the late 1970’s ABC TV Network clunker, ‘’Battlestar Galactica’’, which in its new incarnation on the Sci Fi cable Network, is well, nothing short of stellar and celestial (pun intended!), has been green lighted for a 3rd season!

The show has been optioned for an additional 20 episodes which will start shooting next year.

The show’s starring actors will be back on board for Season 3, including Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, along with Executive Producers David Eick and Ronald D. Moore who developed the Millennium edition of the series based on the original 70’s series.

‘’Battlestar Galactica’’ has drawn rave reviews from the critics and best of all, it has been a huge commercial success with a galactic size fan base, pulling in some 3 million TV viewers regularly and that’s on top of a one, two, three punch, designed by the Sci Fi Network, for its Friday night knockout punch lineup of ‘’Battlestar’’ along with the Network’s 2 ‘’Stargate’’ series.

Yeah, we LOVE the new ‘’Battlestar’’ too, and best of all, we have to give kudos to the casting of the incredibly talented, esteemed, and venerable Edward James Olmos in the same series that in it’s polyester, 5 cent budget, 70’s edition, originally starred the likes of cheese ball Lorne Greene and hammy, scenery chewing Harrison Ford wannabe, Dirk Benedict…wow, like the difference between the original masterful ‘’Star Wars’’ trilogy and those cursed Jar Jar Binks tainted prequels! Argh!! Oh, stop! We just couldn’t resist!
