'Galactica' Beats Our Premiere Of Stargate Series
BY MICHAEL HINMAN Source: SyFyPortal

Who is the new powerhouse on the Sci-Fi Channel? Move over "Stargate: Atlantis" because "Battlestar Galactica" is now in the house.

The third episode of the reimagined series, which guest-starred former "Galactica" star Richard Hatch, continued its dominance in ratings on the Sci-Fi Channel, pulling in a 2.3 rating, or 2.9 million viewers. It was just a small slide from the first season premiere, which pulled in a 2.6 rating, or just over 3 million viewers. The dip was just 12 percent for "Battlestar Galactica" which still did better than both of its lead-in shows -- "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate: Atlantis."

What does this mean for a second season of "Galactica"? The jury is still out, but reports have NBC Universal making a decision by the end of the week.

MICHAEL HINMAN is really getting behind this series, fair play to someone who recognises the great potential of BSG

BSG beating Stargate does not surprise me. I'm sure BSG has attracted fans who would not normally watch sci-fi.

Well done BSG

Also SG-1 goes up against Enterprise, while less people watch Enterprise, I bet many would come over to SG-1 if Enterprise was not on at the same time. Most watch Enterprise and catch the second airing of SG-1 at 11:00pm.

Never was a SG-1 fan! A show about paint drying would be better than that flat sreies! I liked the Stargate movie, but that show does nothing for me.

Unfortunately, there will be no "ENTERPRISE" next season, so I hope that SCIFI will put something cool on at 7PM central (US). SG-1 has to be in its last season, huh?

I am confident that if BSG TNS gets more popular & enough positive press, it will beat a lot of shows on Fridays! I am telling everyone that will listen about the show, & so far have "converted" about ten people that would've never watched the show!! caseOrange & his girlfriend are among the converted. He & his girlfriend are scifi fans, but they hadn't seen the mini until I brought a recorded copy to their house & after that, they were hooked!
