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!

Articles and Fan Fiction
Fourth Week of March, 2003
I'm happy to announce that all of the interactive storylines & role-playing game notes from Delphi Forums have been uploaded to our web site in the "Articles & Fan Fiction" section. This was a major project I've been working on over the past six months. Since Delphi Forums does not have the ability to export notes, all notes had to be manually copy-and-pasted, twenty notes at a time, into text files and then cleaned up with Microsoft Word. All notes have been posted to our web site in paragraph form. This means that all tabs, indents, and line breaks in each note have been replaced with a single space. That way each note from Delphi Forums only takes up one paragraph on the web site. This will make it a lot easier for newcomers and visitors to read our notes from Delphi, which are now classified as fan fiction. Also, personal signatures from Delphi have been removed from each note as well. Other than the spacing updates and removal of account signatures, all notes are otherwise intact. Each note will appear as originally written, and this includes any typos and spelling errors. Since there are thousands upon thousands of notes now published on our web site, I thought it better to keep all notes in the authors original format, rather than attempt to correct any spelling or grammatical errors. All interactive storylines & role-playing game notes from Delphi Forums were included in this project so there are no missing topics. Enjoy! Note: Our former 4-year home on DelphiForums.com had 8,590 posts from its opening day of 6/6/1998 to its closing day of 4/6/2002. Of the 8,590 posts, 4,726 notes were role-playing game notes, and 3,864 notes were other discussion notes.

DVD Box Set Listing at Amazon.com
Battlestar Galactica fan Todd posted a new announcement at Colonial Fleets: "Amazon has a page set up for the eventual release of the Battlestar Galactica series boxed set DVD. There is no release date. No price. Few product details. No reviewer comments. But you can enter your e-address and they will send you an e-mail when it is released. Also: Amazon recommends signing up for the email as they inform the studio of the number of interested individuals that sign up. Sort of a way to vote for it."

Olmos Says New 'Galactica' is not for Old-Show Purists
MyInky.com has posted a new Battlestar Galactica mini-series article featuring Edward James Olmos, Commander William "Husker" Adama in the new mini-series. The new article is a must-read for Battlestar Galactican fans. As reported in the new article: "After a review of the script from this four-hour re-imagining was posted online (linked from
www.battlestargalactica.com), the fan community cried foul. Olmos acknowledged that the new version, set to air late this year, won't appeal to everyone. 'If you're a staunch purist, then you won't like it,' he said in a phone interview last week. 'But if you're open to a new look at that situation, you might.'" Edward James Olmos also stated: "'There's no two ways around it,' Olmos said. 'If I were a purist, I wouldn't watch it. Don't waste your time. Get the old version on DVD. Don't hurt yourself. Don't go through the pain.'" For the complete article, be sure to check out the following link.
