Once again specific information was provided on Battlestar Galactica's Season 2 on Shaun's Subject 2 Discussion show at lvrocks this past Wednesday night, June 8, 2005. Spoilers were revealed on upcoming episodes, including some interesting cast additions. Read on if you have an inquiring, Colonial mind.

First up, they are looking for a female to play the commander of the other battlestar in Episode 210. Questions naturally arise as to whether this will be the reimaged Commander Cain? And who will the actress be to play this pivotal role?

Next, the Sneak Peek of BSG's Season 2 showed Adama holding a baby on the planet Kobol. This is actually a vision that Baltar is experiencing. Adama is still recovering from his wounds aboard the Galactica and will not be on his feet until the fifth or sixth episode. Moreover, Baltar's and Six's baby is described as being a "mystical" child. In an interview with James Callis and Tricia Helfer in this month's issue of SCI-FI magazine (August 2005), Callis had this to say about the baby: "At the moment, it's a spectral projection. It will materialize into reality when the entities that bring that about kind of get together...It's a bit like...it's there, and it isn't at the moment, for it will be...It is the shape of things to come."

A very satisfying spoiler that was announced had to do with the theme song for Season 2. Because US fans on several new series boards preferred the UK theme over the US one, SCI FI will be using a variation of the UK theme. The mystical chanting will be there, but not the drum beats at the end.

Finally, TVGuide just announced that Lucy Lawless (of Xena: Warrior Princess fame) will be in several episodes of Battlestar Galactica, playing a female reporter similar to CNN's Christiane Amanpour. Speculation arose as to whether Lawless will be one of the two new Cylon models to be introduced this season.

To recap, a female Cain(?), a spectral Cylon-human hybrid, the UK theme for Season 2, and Lawless as a Colonial reporter are promised for the new Battlestar Galactica series. As details continue to unfold, they will be reported at Flight Deck.
