| Talking to Sci Fi Wire at EnigmaCon, creator and executive producer Ronald D. Moore spoke candidly about the up-coming season two of the hit series. "Yes, there are a couple of familiar faces that will go down for the count. Adama's shot. There's people stranded on Kobol. Kara's back on Caprica. Those storylines continue. Adama is not back on his feet anytime soon. Commander Tigh is in charge of Galactica. Laura is in jail. There's a meteor crisis that follows the cliffhanger, and Tigh kind of steers them through that crisis successfully." Moore revealed one major plot strand that develops during season two. "Things begin to unravel when [Tigh's] in charge of the fleet. He declares martial law at a certain point. There is an incident where he sends the troops to get supplies, because the ships are withholding supplies from Galactica. He says enough is enough, and an incident happens, and ... they shoot a bunch of civilians. "It's a whole nightmare, and Laura starts an insurrection and the fleet divides. There's a lot of fallout from the events of the last season." Battlestar Galactica returns on the US Sci Fi Channel on 15 July and in October on Sky One. |

| With the second season of Battlestar Galctica due to premiere in America shortly, Jamie Bamber told Syfy Portal what fans could expect. "There is, in the second season, further confusion about the Cylons," he noted. "Some fight other Cylons along with humans. It's not just a simple analogy for Al Qaeda. There are all sort of religious themes in the whole relationship." As for his shaky romance with fellow pilot Starbuck, "It's like lots of relationships, you can't simplify it. They are indisputably attracted to each other. But it's latent. There's so much guilt for the dead brother and dead fiancee between them. Then arguably, she's more responsible for his death than anybody else, yet he blames his dad for it." As for the shocking events of the season one finale, how will the attack on his father shape Apollo? "It's defined Apollo in a new way," revealed Bamber. "He's completely alone in the fleet... For the first time, he can truly be an individual, rather than someone trapped in this military world." Battlestar Galactica begins its second season on the US Sci Fi Channel on 15 July 2005, along with the premieres of Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. All three series can be seen in the UK on Sky One this October. |
