Future of Sci-Fi's Galactica

[Josh]

We've heard the producer's talk of the show's potential, now its the main actor's turn according to scooper 'CM':

"So there I was in Sherman Oaks, California in the last few days of December, and who should I catch an elevator with but Edward James Olmos. He was coming from watchign a movie. I asked him how "Galactica" was coming along for him, whether it was all over or whether they would be doing another miniseries, a regular series, etc...

He seemed certain they would be making a series, as he mentioned they would begin shooting "next month" (meaning January 2004). He also asked me if I had seen the show, to which I had to reply, "no." I don't get the Sci-Fi Channel on my cable plan. He then asked if I was a fan of the original show, to which I replied that I loved it when it was first on... when I was 13 years old.

I brought up the Richard Hatch issue (which he sidestepped) and he said he would tell me what he told anyone about the show: "If you're a big fan of the first show, you'll probably hate the new one, so don't even watch it. But if you have an open mind or aren't fanatical about recreating the original series, you ought to enjoy it. Overall, Mr. Olmos was very gracious, friendly and communicative".

EDA underestimates me. In fact, I think the new one is superior to the old one even if i liked it!
