Yes I would have been a bit ticked off AGAIN if I hadn't found before it ended last night. This is crazy, taking all that time off, 8 months last year, and now 10 months this year.

Since when does Sci-Fi Channel care about the fans? It's nothing new here. Just be glad it will finish in 2008.

I mean just be glad it's back for another season. [Ugh, I can't beleive I just said that]. I think they're doing only one more season for the new Galactica series. Also, they'll be doing a direct-to-DVD movie, too.

Check out what Richard Hatch (Tom Zarek) said at WonderCon about the upcoming season...

I wonder what the 1 hour episode is that Richard talked about in the video, before the new season begins in January?

A friend told me about that. Said it was another sci-fi thing.
