Buddy TV reports that two half-hour Battlestar Galactica specials are coming in March:
The two specials are entitled “Battlestar Galactica: Revisited” and “Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon.” The first will give a helpful recap of the first three seasons of the series, as well as “Razor,” while the second special will take a look at the positive response that fans and critics have had to the show. “Revisited” and “The Phenomenon” will air back to back on Friday, March 28 at 10pm.
According to AICN, the latest issue of TV Guide is reporting that the Sci-Fi Channel, desperate for scripts due to the strike, may give the Battlestar Galactica prequel project a greenlight after all. Of course, knowing Sci-Fi, they might not air it until 2010 anyway.

It’s the actor-authorized BSG version of Liam Neeson Naked Lake Water!

Battlestar Galactica creator Ron Moore is using his pull with the show’s producer (which is, oh, himself) to take on his first-ever directing gig. He’ll be directing an upcoming episode that he’s also written.
In the meantime, Jamie Bamber reports on the ongoing tug of war between nostalgia and excitement on the series’ end.
