Scoop! Battlestar Galactica on the Move!
A Sci Fi Channel rep is now confirming what I've been hinting at for weeks: Battlestar Galactica is saying "Frak you!" to Friday.

The galaxy's best space epic ever is heading to Sundays at 10 pm <EST> beginning Jan. 21, when the show returns with the second half of Season 3.

"Battlestar Galactica" will move to Sundays starting Jan. 21, Sci Fi confirmed Monday. In the Central time zone, the show will air at 9 p.m.

The new time and day will kick off the second half of "Battlestar's" critically acclaimed third season...

...No new episode of "Battlestar" airs this Friday, Nov. 24. But new episodes of "Battlestar" will air Dec. 1, Dec. 8 (that's the episode written by Jane Espenson) and Dec. 15, then the series will take one-month break until Jan. 21.

Watch this space later in the week for more on on the Dec. 1 episode, "Unfinished Business," by Michael Taylor. It's powerful and heartbreaking.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is too stupid to be unintentional. Their ratings were so good last spring when the put SG1, Atlantis and BSG together, and now they seem determined to keep them separate. I half wonder if they're not deliberately trying to keep SG1's ratings "low" to justify its cancellation earlier this year. Whatever the reason, it seems like a really dumb move.
