Please, my dear friends, I implore you to avoid using 'frak' in your excitement over this announcement. I know, it's hard not to mimic your favorite tv show, but if we all hold hands, together we can stop this! Battlestar Galactica, the popular SciFi network remake of the 1978 cult hit, will be making an appearance at the Xbox Live Marketplace this September.

In anticipation of the new season of Battlestar Galactica, NBC Universal has created a special recap of all the important happenings in the miniseries as well as both seasons. Hopefully with as much Six footage as humanly possible. This special will be the first full television show available for download. As far as size goes, that much is unclear.

Premiering in October, season 3 of the show is said to be much darker. Considering the dark nature of the first two seasons, I can only imagine what we'll see now that the Humans are under Cylon control.



Fans have even more to look forward to with the upcoming prequel spinoff Caprica. The show would be set on the planet of Caprica fifty years prior and tell the story of the Twelve Colonies. The show is currently in the early stages of development.

And if you are curious about the differences between the new and old Battlestar Galactica series, an in depth Wikipedia page exists for your wondering mind.
