Battlestar Galactica

Numerous details (some spoilers) from producer Ron Moore.

Spoiler: Show

"Epiphanies"
"Laura's health comes to a crisis point in the next episode [after the 'Resurrection Ship' two-parter]. It opens on her being rushed into sick bay. Her time is almost up and Doc Cottle says she's not going to make it. This gave us the chance to do some flashbacks to Caprica before the attacks. We see the president she worked for and there are some surprising revelations about their relationship. We see where she gets some of her philosophy of governing. As the fleet prepares for [vice president] Baltar to take over, he's actually the one who figures out a way to save Laura's life, at the last moment. It comes from his study of Sharon's unborn child, that provides the key to curing Laura's cancer."

"Scar"
We do an episode that's really about fighter combat. [Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace figures prominently]. There's a Cylon raider that keeps coming, just keeps coming. He kills a bunch of pilots. It's their dark shark in the water, he keeps coming to get people."

"There's an episode where a bunch of people take hostages in a bar, and they demand that Adama [get rid of] Sharon. They feel like there shouldn't be any Cylons alive in the fleet. And they'll kill a bunch of hostages to get her."

"There's an episode where Lee has to deal with the new commander of the Pegasus [This person is not the second-in-command whom we met during "Resurrection Ship" episodes]. It turns out the guy who had been in charge was deep into the black market. Another guy is put in charge, he's a bit paranoid. And he's really not up to the task of command. The Pegasus continues to be a troubled ship for the rest of the season."

"There's an episode down the line that we're really excited about, the entire episode is told from the Cylon point of view: what their society is like, what they go through during reincarnation and when they're born again. We really get inside the Cylon [society] and get to view that for the first time.

"There's a two-part season finale. We throw some real curveballs. There are some pretty major changes in how we do business. It's really going to catch people off guard."

Since the series started, I was thinking that it was a great show but also very
flawed, cus I kept thinking: why do they let so many things 'slide'?,
what I mean is that Dr Gaius has been working on a Cylon detector "forever", and no one
seems to care;
Everyone knows that there are Cylons on the fleet, and do nothing, like a search and kill campaign;
Some ppl know that Lee frecuents a Prostitute, even his dad, and he does nothing (not that he should);
Sal, the Oc is a drunk and also no one does anything;
and I could go on for a long time.
Ok, then a few weeks ago, watching the first season, I started to realize that
the people in the fleet, are just humans,
they face problems as we do, as our goverments do,
a lot of things similar in many ways to the ones seen on the series really happen,
and no one seems to do anything.
May be thats why the show is so apealing.
That's just my thinking, but whatever it is, it one of my favorite series,
it fills the hole left by the cancellation of Enterprise.

Spoiler: Show

With the presidential campaigning in full swing, the election's outcome hinges upon a core debate - whether or not to abandon the search for Earth when the Galactica crew discovers a habitable planet. When the election begins to swing in favor of Baltar (James Callis) - a man whom Roslin is convinced is a Cylon collaborator - the incumbent president must decide whether or not to take drastic measures for the greater good. Things become even further complicated when the Cylons, led by Caprica Six (Tricia Helfer) and Sharon (Grace Park), find the planet and offer humanity a stunning proposal of peace.

Season 3 production begins in April. Lucy Lawless will be part of the cast for a 10-episode story arc.
