Rumors, News & Awards

Rumors abound that BSG will be approved for a 4th season. (It's very likely true, since even if the ratings are not what they hoped for in season 3 thus far, the show is a huge hit on DVD. And Universal Home Video certainly needs further seasons to sell on DVD, plus NBC/Univesal will want to have enough episodes for future syndication.)

Another rumor also confirms the value on BSG to DVD sales, as there are indications NBC/Universal may soon have Ron Moore write and produce a direct to DVD Battlestar Galactica movie.
