This is so cool!
It looks like there will be a Battlestar Galactica spinoff series coming as early as next year. The early news is as follows:
The spinoff series will apparently be set about 50 years before Battlestar Galactica and center on the cataclysmic events that formed the current series.
This should be really cool. A whole new cast of characters and all of the back story on the Cylon war. I'm looking forward to it already.
BTW, if you're at all a fan of Firefly/Serenity, be sure to check out the Serenity charity screenings that will be going on all over the place on June 23rd (or thereabouts). Get your browncoat on and be there!
