Sci fi has a new prequel series of the BSG universe coming up. I wish they'd throw money at JMS like they do Ron Moore.

I suspect it'll be good, but I just want them to wrap up BSG in a nice little bow before it gets old and starts to suffer the effects of plothritis (when the believability of a plot begins to lose elasticity, and attempts to fiddle with it cause lasting pain to the viewer).

I just hope this doesn't decrease the quality of BSG either. Guess we will find out soon enough.
[B]I'm just worried that it will suffer the same fate as SG1. The quality of the show dropped significantly when they started up atlantis.

To be fair, SG1 ran for 8 seasons before Atlantis came along so I don't think the correlation is THAT direct. But I do agree that it might be too soon for a spin off.
Although, maybe we'll get a look at a fleet of Battlestars in action (perhaps even some other classes). :)

Length of run wasn't my concern, it was that they started focusing the creativity at Atlantis and started re-re-rehashing SG1. I don't blame atlantis for SG1 sucking, but it certainly contributed.
It's a complete disaster, because there are multiple key cast members missing (O'Neill, Hammond, and to a lesser extent, Doc Frasier). There's potential for a recovery, but with the cast went the writers, too.

go figure...
and to get terribly back on topic...
methinks this sort of drek is as much a product of the current generation of viewers, its got to the point where a series seems to be half over before it starts, computers are ancient before they make it out of the box they arrived in....games are out long before they finish making them.... :P
the age of information overload is about to break over us like a 400 foot Tsunami of ones and zeros....
What brought this up is I just saw an interview with Jamie Bamber (Lee Adama):

I was just as surprised as when I found out Damian Lewis (Lt, Capt, Maj Winters from Band of Brothers) was British too.
[B]Anyone notice how when a British actor does an American accent, they completely pull it off, but it doesn't work the other way around? When Americans try a British accent, they sound like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

I wouldn't say that's true. I've seen Brits screw it up terribly and some Americans pull it off quite well. May be true generally, but I'm not even sure about that.
