Season 2 News and Soundtrack Preorder

This in from the Hollywood North Report:

This Associate Editor revealed a number of Season 2 spoilers from the new Battlestar Galactica series premiering on SCI-FI this upcoming July 15th. He announced the information on Shaunomac's Subject2Discussion show at lvrocks.

SPOILERS are included in this article, so only continue if you want to know what occurs in Season 2......





First up, Tarn (who dies in Episode 202) is the name Alonso Oyarzun (Specialist Socinus) picked for unnamed cast members. Seelix is another name Alonso uses for these insignificant figures who are comparable to the red-shirted individuals who always died on the original Star Trek series.

Second, Richard Hatch is coming back as Tom Zarek in Episode #203 and is signed on for 6 of the first 10 episodes of Season 2. It is safe to say he will be in the majority of the Battlestar Galactica episodes.

With respect to more detailed episode synopses for Season 2, Lee will free Laura Roslin from prison and take her down to the planet Kobol in #204 ("Resistance"). Some of the Cylon Plan will be revealed in #205 ("The Farm"): apparently, the Cylons cannot reproduce and so require the bodies of human females to implant their hybrid embryos.

Finally, the spoiler of greatest interest is that contained in #210-211 ( a two-parter): namely, the Galactica comes across another Battlestar which had escaped the destruction of the colonies. It can be assumed that this Battlestar is the Pegasus under the command of Cain. Ron Moore has repeatedly stated he would like to reimage the "Living Legend" story line from the original series, and this will probably be his attempt to do so. Here's hoping that more information will be provided on this two-parter in the upcoming months.

Stay tuned for more news items on SCI-FI's groundbreaking series, Battlestar: Galactica, which has a 20 episode run for its second season. Source: lvrocks

They're bringing back Pegasus! I believe that this season is going to possibly surpass the first season!

Hi. I´m glued up to the site....the music is fabulous and it´s a MUST for any music lover and for any BSG fan. I´ve finally listened to the american credits and this theme appeared in ACT OF CONTRITION. It´s a lovely theme but I prefer the brit credits
