JANUARY 14, 2005:

Richard Hatch, who played Apollo on the original version of Battlestar Galactica, makes a guest appearance in the third episode of the new version of the series. On the episode "BASTILLE DAY", Hatch plays Tom Zarich, a Nelson Mandela-style political prisoner, who makes life difficult for Apollo, currently played by Jamie Bamber. Read Hatch's diary of his work on the episode here.

Sci Fi Channel also listed the Daytime Rotation episodes for 2/11/05, so I've posted them in the schedule section.

JANUARY 07, 2005:

The new series is set to debut January 14, 2005.

All that week, starting on Monday, January 10, the Sci-Fi channel will run the original series in their Daytime Rotation, in episodic order. They are even going to run Galactica 1980, following, to wind up the week.

Prior to the first episode debut, the network will run the "Lowdown" special again, featuring interviews with the cast [past and present], as well as commentary on the series. This show will also be broadcast on the USA Network, which is the sister network to the Sci-Fi Channel.

The network is also re-running the original mini-series that ran last year at night during the week to prime viewers for the new series. NBC, the Sci-Fi's parent company, will also be showing the mini-series Saturday, January 8, starting at 8pm. It will be edited to fit the time slot.
