“Battlestar Galactica” mastermind Ronald D. Moore has confirmed The “Galactica” TV-movie will tell the tale of Admiral Cain and the battlestar Pegasus.
Cain was assassinated by a Cylon in season two and the Pegasus was destroyed in a Cylon battle earlier this season.
Moore additionally tells Salon.com that a DVD of the TV-movie will be issued a few days after the movie airs on SciFi.
Also in the Salon piece, Moore sounds perhaps more pessimistic about the “Galactica” prequel series, “Caprica,” ever seeing the light of day:
It's possible. It's been in development at SciFi for a while and they haven't picked it up. And I don't know if they're going to pick it up at this point. There's talk of doing it as a TV movie and seeing how that works, as a back-door pilot, much as we did with the "Galactica" miniseries. Right now there's nothing telling me that they're going to move on it anytime soon, so I'm starting to feel that it's going to remain on the development shelf.
