BATTLESTAR GALACTICA NEWS
New episodes return to SCI FI January 6
TUESDAY - NOVEMBER 15, 2005
The SCI FI Channel is getting ready to bring back its Friday night power house, with the winter premieres of Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica set for January 6, 2006. Atlantis and Galactica will resume their second seasons, while SG-1 finishes out its landmark ninth year.
The network has also released a short synopsis for Galactica's next episode, the continuation of the cliffhanger that left fans on the edge of their seats in September. Beware of spoilers below!
"Resurrection Ship, Part 1" - A military power struggle threatens to escalate into all-out war as the Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus attempt to join forces to destroy a critical Cylon target: a "Resurrection" ship.
Lt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace (Katee Sackhoff) prevents a potentially deadly face-off between the Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus when she arrives at the last minute bearing stunning recon photos of the Cylon "Resurrection" ship. Unable to resist this tempting target, Commander William Adama (Edward James Olmos) and Admiral Helena Cain (Michelle Forbes) establish an uneasy truce as they agree to prioritize the destruction of the "Resurrection" ship, tabling their conflicts, for now.
But Adama remains distrustful, as he learns that Cain's survive-at-all-costs attitude saw Pegasus abandon its civilian fleet months ago. Disturbed by this news, President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) believes that as soon as the Resurrection Ship is destroyed, Cain will jettison Galactica's civilian fleet. As the power struggle continues with Cain, Adama must make an impossible decision, on the eve of a battle that could change the face of the Cylon war.
"Resurrection Ship" was originally intended to be a single episode, but was reportedly expanded to become a 2-parter (a 3-parter, along with "Pegasus") when a later episode -- told entirely from the Cylon point of view -- was scrapped.
Ten all-new episodes of Battlestar Galactica will air on SCI FI until mid-March. If the network does not skip any Fridays, this would put the season finale on Friday, March 10. SCI FI is expected to officially announce top-rated Galactica's renewal at any time.
