EzyDVD in Australia has announced that the Region 4 DVD set for Battlestar Galactica is delayed indefinitely. Here is the announcement from EzyDVD: "Thank you for your pre-order of Battlestar Galactica - The Complete Collection from EzyDVD. We regret to inform you that Universal Pictures has delayed this title indefinitely at this stage. As there is no word of a pending release date anytime soon, we have decided to remove this title from our website. In light of this we have had to cancel your pending order for this title. Should we receive any further updates regarding this product, we will advise you via our newsletter. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause." It will be interesting to see if Universal moves forward or not with the Region 1 DVD set in North America. Thanks to dilbertman for posting the announcement at Colonial Fleets.

Battlestar Fan Force posters arriving

New report from Michael Faries of BattlestarGalactica.com: "Members of the Battlestar Fan Force (fans who aren't standing idle while the show is being remade/reimagined instead of continued, as Larson, Hatch, and Singer/DeSanto tried to do) have started to release promotional posters (#1, #2 and #3 thus far). Click the links below for the posters, then visit the Revival page and BattlestarGalactica.com's script review to understand why a remake is being rejected."

Changes to BATTLESTAR NETWORK

Michael Faries has posted a brand-new article at BattlestarGalactica.com that explains the recent changes to the Battlestar Network, and explains why the member sites of the network are supporting the original Battlestar Galactica, and not the remake mini-series script (and possible production) from Ron Moore and the Sci-Fi Channel. The article is very well written, so be sure to check out the following link at BattlestarGalactica.com.

Mini-series recapitulation published at "Ain't It Cool News"

The heretofore silent "Ain't It Cool News" web site has posted their first Battlestar Galactica update in almost an entire year (9 months). The Battlestar Galactica news update is none other than a glowing review of Ron Moore's mini-series script. The article is written by the self-styled and incorrectly spelled "Muffet". Not only glowing, the review is downright incandescent of Ron Moore's script, including comparisons of the relatively unknown Ron Moore to the multiple Oscar-winning Action Director John Woo. With regards to the Cylon sneak attack on the Colonies, Muffet imputes "The Cylons can exploit that in order to turn the Colonies to thermonuclear dust – which you also get to see. No, not in 'The Day After' or 'Pearl Harbor' sense, IT'S BETTER THAN BOTH COMBINED." For the complete recapitulation check out the following link at "Ain't It Cool News".

New Missions for the Original Battlestar Galactica Revival Effort!

Check out the detailed Battlestar Galactica revival document just posted at Colonial Fleets. The document was compiled by Battlestar Galactica fan jjrakman affiliated with the Battlestar Fan Force: "The Sci-Fi Channel has drawn the last straw. The new 're-imagined' Battlestar Galactica is heresy for most BSG fans as presented in Ronald D. Moore's ideas. The Sci-Fi Channel has largely ignored BSG fans, and has fed us programming [felgercarb] for several years. So, call or e-mail your local cable and satellite companies, and ask them to permanently remove the Sci-Fi Channel from their packages. Also, call or e-mail or fax any and all advertisers who currently, or who plan on, advertising on the Sci-Fi Channel. Make it known that this action is a direct response to Ronald D. Moore's re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica. True BSG fans want only a continuation of the original storyline, with original characters/cast. Make it known that nothing else will satisfy BSG fans. Let's hit the powers that be where it hurts: $. Ask Sci-Fi Channel's advertisers to remove their advertising, or discourage anyone from advertising on the channel or this website. Let them know that you no longer are watching the channel, and in fact have asked your local cable or satellite company to permanently remove the channel from their line up, as a direct response to the planned re-imagining of BSG." The document includes a list of advertisers postal mail addresses and web site feedback links that you can write to and make a difference. Be sure to participate, spread the word, and make your voice heard!
