Battlestar Galactica Implements The Plan

Did someone shout, “one – more – time!” Because Battlestar Galactica is back and this time they have a plan. Actually, they have “The Plan” and it’s directed by Edward James Olmos, which is creepy in its synergy.

The 2-hour Galactica special airs Sunday, January 10 @ 9:00pm on Syfy and it will have appearances by many of your favorite actors. Tricia Helfer is on board as is Grace Park, Michael Hogan, Michael Trucco and Kate Vernon.

This time around the Cylons sneak attack on the 12 colonies devastates the human race. But it is not a death blow and Cylon model #1, John Cavil (DEAN STOCKWELL), is determined to finish the job.

Two of the Cavil models end up taking different approaches to the task. One makes his way to Galactica’s fleet, working covertly to direct the actions of the Cylons living and working, undetected, among the humans. But many of these Cylons, including Boomer (GRACE PARK), the Six called Shelly Godfrey (TRICIA HELFER), and Leoben (CALLUM KEITH RENNIE) have formed ties, even loving bonds, with humans. This Cavil’s frustration mounts as his efforts to destroy the fleet fail and as the humans get closer to touching his own hardened heart.

The other Cavil goes to Caprica, where he insinuates himself into the rebel group led by his “father” Sam Anders (MICHAEL TRUCCO). This Cavil learns a lesson about the durability of love that changes everything.

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is also available on DVD.

That’s “The Plan!” Are you looking forward to more Galactica, or are you done and over it?
