According to the good folks at BuddyTV, representatives at SciFi have said that BSG has not been cancelled, even though it hasn’t been picked up. (How does anyone understand what anyone is saying in Hollywood?)

GateWorld got a heads-up from Stargate producer/director Martin Wood about an online TV show that has just finished filming its fourth episode called Sanctuary.
Little is known about the story, but it will be a regular-length TV show that will apparently have some sort of interactive part to it. Happily, it will be available to all internet users, so none of those pesky spoiler problems to deal with.
It stars Amanda Tapping (aka Samantha Carter) and Christopher Heyerdahl (aka Halling) from the Stargate franchise. David Hewlett (aka Rodney McKay) makes a guest appearance.
