Battlestar Galactica Movie?

It’s no secret around here that I think the new Battlestar Galactica show is the single best television show ever produced. Everyone has their favorites, this one is just mine. But why is it that all the best shows just can’t seem to find a solid audience (Deadwood anyone?)??? And no matter how good each season is, it’s never a certain thing that the show will be picked up for another.

The good folks over at Moviehole give us this scoop about the trouble Galactica is facing, and a possible movie being in the works:

“If it goes forward, the two hour telefilm will shoot in March during the series hiatus and prior to the commencement of production on the series fourth season in June. While there is no story for the telefilm at present, plans are afoot to come up with a screenplay that doesn’t step on existing continuity for the series, but utilizes most of its existing sets. There is also speculation the telefilm will somehow tie into the mythology for the Galactica spin-off series, Caprica, which has not been officially greenlit by SciFi Channel”, tells the site.

Yeah, apparently “Battelstar” has had a big drop-off of late, in terms of viewers, so the direct-to-video movie idea might be the network’s way of getting rid of the series – apparently a fourth season hasn’t been decided on yet by the network – as we know it, but continuing it on DVD.

Listen folks, I know a lot of people will decide on if they’ll watch a show based on what they THINK it will be, and on the commercial surface Battlestar Galactica may LOOK like just another Sci-Fi show… but TRUST ME… it’s not. This show is not what you might expect. A movie would be great… but I’d rather still have the show. Make sure you check it out.
