Around these parts we do love our Battlestar Galactica. Oh sure some of you complain that it is a TV Show and so it doesn’t have a place on a MOVIE blog, then John has to pull rank and we talk about it anyways.
Well now we find out that our beloved Battlestar Galactica has reason to be on this blog because they are making a feature TV movie event that will then be set for a DVD release right after the series finishes its run next year. That’s movie enough for me!
Starting before the events of the miniseries, our story focuses on familiar characters including Cylon Number One, known as Cavil (Stockwell), Resistance Leader Sam T. Anders (Trucco) and Chief Galen Tyrol (Douglas). In the beginning, the Cylons had a plan, but it didn’t account for one thing: survivors. During the chaotic aftermath of the destruction, two powerful Cylon agents struggle with plots and priorities on the human ships that got away, and among the resistance fighters who were left behind.
Interesting that two of the Final Five will be featured in a story long before they were discovered. Maybe they will reveal why they were kept a secret.
For me, I really want to see the story of Helo and the freedom fighters left behind on earth. There isn’t much to tell that would deserve its own series, but a DVD release much like Battlestar Galactica: Razor would be the perfect way to tell it.
Perhaps more of these one shot DVD Releases will fill in the stories of the surviving human race and we will continue to get more Battlestar Galactica fixes. Sure there is always the planned series Caprica, but that looks to be of a different strain of story, set generations before Battlestar Galactica.
