Sign the four additional Battlestar Galactica Online Petitions

The four additional Battlestar Galactica Online Petitions are also available for you to sign and show your support for Battlestar Galactica. The Battlestar Galactica Richard Hatch Petition respectfully requests that Richard Hatch make his trailer, "Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming" available to be shown on the Internet. Richard Hatch -IS- listening! If you agree with the petition, then sign the petition to make your voice heard. The Battlestar Galactica Sci-Fi Management Petition requests a change in management at the Sci-Fi Channel. The petition urges the Sci-Fi Channel to focus more on sci-fi programming, including Battlestar Galactica, instead of broadcasting non sci-fi television shows, or axing sci-fi shows that have done well, such as Lexx and Farscape. The Battlestar Galactica Save Starbuck Petition is a humorous petition, but for a serious matter: Ron Moore's new Battlestar Galactica mini-series script for the Sci-Fi Channel calls for Starbuck to become a female! Starbuck, one of the original series' most popular characters, becomes Kara "Starbuck" Thrace in the new mini-series, and "Starbuck" is merely her radio call sign. If you want Starbuck to remain a male and make your voice heard, be sure to sign the Battlestar Galactica Save Starbuck Petition. Finally, the Battlestar Galactica No Re-Imagining Petition is a succinct petition that supports Richard Hatch's "Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming" continuation concept over the Ron Moore re-imagining felgercarb. You can make a difference, so be sure to sign the four additional petitions, after you sign the five primary petitions!

New DVD Box Set Pricing and Supplement List

New DVD Box Set update from TVShowsOnDVD.com! "Universal has just given us the preliminary list of supplements for Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Epic Series. This list of extras, and the names they will go by, is not yet finalized and could be subject to change. As it stands right now, they look like this: Insight into the 'Making of' Battlestar Galactica, Creation of Battlestar Galactica: an Interview with creator Glen A. Larson, Deleted Scenes, Commentary for selected episodes by Cast/Crew, Visual Effects with John Dykstra, Sci-Fi Special: Making of the Show, Composing the Music: Stu Phillips and Glen A. Larson, Production Notes, Sneak preview into the new Sci-Fi Channel Battlestar Galactica mini-series, and Interactive Game Trailer. Re-iterating the specs: This will be shown in the originally broadcast 4x3 aspect ratio, with both 2.0 stereo soundtrack and 5.1 Dolby soundtrack. French and Spanish subtitles are on board, along with Closed Captioning for the hearing impaired. As we said earlier today, the release date has been pushed back exactly one week, to October 21st. The S.R.P. will be $119.98 for this 6-Disc set with almost 20 hours of show... EVERY episode of the one and only season of the original Battlestar Galactica! For those of you interested in owning the alternate, theatrical cut of the pilot episode, 'Saga of a Star World' (with a shorter running time, and alternate scenes including a different fate for one major character), you'll be pleased to know that Universal is going to re-promote that old DVD on the same date (10/21), at a new lower SRP of $19.98." Many thanks to Kingfish for posting the report at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums!
