Galactica fans may be excited to know that some tv movies might be coming their way, according to The Watcher.
As Galactica Sitrep noted Thursday, an internet radio show, The Doctor and Mrs. Who, reported last night that up to three “Battlestar Galactica” TV movies may get made later this year. Several sources at the show confirm that those films are indeed being discussed right now. Executives are now doing number-crunching for these proposed films, and any deals for these movies are far from done. However, it would make sense to make more “Battlestar” TV movies while the show’s creative team and actors are still all in one place, as it were.
Exciting news, huh? Although, it’s not really a “for sure” thing. As the article reminds us that it’s not exactly written in stone yet.
“Nothing’s etched in stone yet,” one source said – creative decisions haven’t been fully fleshed out and the casts have not been locked in. And it’s worth noting that “Battlestar Galactica” executive producer Ron Moore is a very busy man — he’s currently writing the show’s series finale, his Sci Fi project “Caprica” is in pre-production and his Fox pilot, “Virtuality,” which he co-wrote with “Battlestar” writer Michael Taylor, has been picked up for next season. Last month, he also signed a deal with United Artists for three yet-to-be named feature films.
So while there’s a chance that it may not be, it’s exciting news to think about.
I’ve never really had a chance to comment on Galactica. I think it’s a really interesting notion that the once-considered Star Wars ripoff came back like twenty years later and just continually blew audiences away. Seriously, out of all these retro reduxes (Bionic Women, for example), how many can say the same thing?

Well, you know how I feel. BSG first season was good, second season was OK. Third season got worse, and now i ffwd a lot. If they get some actual direction and action in the movies, theyll be good. Otherwise, they should just call it As the Battlestar Turns.
