Ron Moore is a busy guy. He's got "Battlestar Galactica" wrapping up and the prequel "Caprica" in the works, not to mention "Virtuality," his mid-season pilot for Fox. The Watcher's Maureen Ryan got some scoop from Ron and Scifi President Dave Howe on "Caprica" and "Battlestar Galatica." The highlights include:
The proposed “Battlestar Galactica” TV movie would take place during
the time frame of previous seasons, but it would air after the series
finale.
Howe said the final episodes of “Battlestar” will begin airing in January.
But if “Caprica” gets a full series order, it will air in
2009. If “Caprica,” which was written by Moore and Remi Aubuchon, does
not get a series order and airs as a standalone 2-hour movie, it could
air this fall.
I know that this is sight unseen, but I sure hope "Caprica" is good enough to justify an ongoing series. I'm not running out to start a "save our show" campaign for a show I've never seen, but I've got my fingers crossed. Read the rest of the interview here.
