Battlestar Galactica Quote of 2003:

"Who is to say the killing of the baby is an act of evil? That's our human prejudice. A natural reaction." -- David Eick, Battlestar Galactica 2003 mini-series producer, when asked about the baby killing scene where the skull of a Colonial infant is crushed by a Cylon robot. SciFi.com Chat on December 4, 2003 at 9 PM.

7. Special Announcement: Special Letter Writing Campaign

Special Letter Writing Campaign

January 2, 2004

A two-pronged letter writing campaign has been confirmed for 28 October 2003 and 2 January 2004, aimed at expressing the overwhelming, unified support of the fandom for a feature film continuation of Battlestar Galactica helmed by producer Tom DeSanto and series creator Glen A. Larson. Your help is needed, not only in writing your own letters, but also in spreading the word about the campaign as far and wide as possible.

The first round of letters, aimed at DeSanto and Larson, should be mailed on 28 October 2003, in the immediate wake of Galacticon and the release of the DVD set. These letters (pen-and-paper letters, please; email should only be used to supplement a pen-and-paper letter) should contain positive messages of support on behalf of the fandom for a continuation helmed by these two immensely talented men, who have demonstrated a clear understanding of what makes Battlestar Galactica special, and who have demonstrated a clear understanding of what fans expect from a true revival of our beloved show. Letters should be sent to the following addresses:

Mr. Tom DeSanto
c/o William Morris Agency
151 El Camino Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90212
