Topic: OT... About New Battlestar Galactica Series

[Magnum357]

I was just wondering, does anyone know if the Sifi Channel is even considering doing a full fledge series off the new Mini Series of Battlestar Galactica?  I know their was a lot of opposition too the new Mini series, but I did like many aspects too the new BS (although I still think they needed too clean up a few rough edges).  

Anyway, does anyone know if the Mini Series succeeded on it opening night, or did it fail?  Anybody have any figures on what its Neilson rating was like?

As to the ratings, Rat Boy had a thread with the numbers. It did rather well.

Ronald D. Moore, executive producer and writer for the recent Sci-Fi Channel miniseries "Battlestar Galactica" started off the new year by saying that the "jury is still out" on whether or not the cable channel will be picking up the highly-rated miniseries as a full-blown series.

"We're still in discussions with the network, the actors' contracts have been extended until the end of January (that is the time period in which their options for series can be picked up) and I've been working on the show bible and the first few episodes in anticipation of a possible order," Moore told SyFy Portal's Michael Hinman. "It's a complicated, ambitious show, and Sci-Fi Channel wants to understand all the economic implications before going to series -- pretty standard network procedure -- but I'm hopeful we'll get the pick up."
