Battlestar Galactica Begins Season II Production Series nominated for Hugo award... April 1st 2005 12:03am | Posted by: Robert Falconer HNR Senior Editor Battlestar Galactica began shooting episode one from its second season here in Vancouver today, despite a rather cold, wet April day. Episode one is entitled “Scattered,” and picks up directly where the events at the end of season one leave off. The entire cast has returned, and Richard Hatch will reprise his role as Tom Zarek for at least two episodes this season, and quite possibly more. Hatch is expected to be in town to shoot his first episode sometime in May or June. As he told SciFi Pulse, “[Ron] told me I'm definitely coming back for a bunch of episodes. I'll be filming in May or June…can't say much but I believe I'll be woven into a bunch of political stuff…” The series has received critical accolades from both sci-fi fans as well as a large contingent of the mainstream press. Moreover, the series has been nominated for a Hugo award. The coveted World Science Fiction Society awards will be given out in Glasgow Scotland this coming August. The series was nominated based upon its first season premiere episode, “33.” Season one has almost finished its run here in North America. A three-hour finale event will air on SCI FI Channel on Friday April 1 beginning at 8/7C, while Canadian fans of the show will have to wait until April 9 and 10 to see the final episode on SPACE Channel.
