Speaking this past weekend at a convention in Los Angeles, former STAR TREK writer/producer Ronald D. Moore enthused the crowd with tidbits about the upcoming second season of his BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, slated to premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel in July. According to Sci-Fi Wire, Moore promises no easy resolutions to last season's cliffhanger ending.
"I would say we don't wrap up season one until episode seven," he said. "Adama is not back on his feet any time 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. But, you know, Tigh, he's probably the guy you don't want in charge."
Moore promises lots of intrigue, revealing one particular story arc that will play out in the first few episodes.
"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 sends out the troops, and an incident happens, and people get killed. 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."
