	:To say that this is happy news is to indulge in a display of understatement. The road to television success is a long one, littered with various hurdles, all of which must be vaulted: the studio pitch session, the network pitch, the story outline, the first draft script, the second draft script, the green-light to produce [[Miniseries\|the pilot]], casting the pilot, making the pilot, ordering the series, producing the series, getting the reviews, getting an audience, and then.... getting a second season. We've managed to clear that hurdle and it feels frakking good.		:To say that this is happy news is to indulge in a display of understatement.

	:We've been working on the first six episodes for a couple of months now and we're gearing up to prep them for filming, probably in late March. Season Two will be heavily influenced by the end of [[Season 1 (2004-05)\|Season One]], so it's hard to get into anything remotely specific until the [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II\|last episode]] has aired in the US. I could say... well... er... not much. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}		:We've been working on the first six episodes for a couple of months now and we're gearing up to prep them for filming, probably in late March.

	:This is an area we didn't get a chance to get very far with in the [[Season 1 (2004-05)\|first season]], and I'm hoping we explore more fully in the second. I think that some of the [[Colonies]] have developed very different cultures and attitudes from one another and that it's rich ground for us. We alluded to some differences here and there, but mostly we talked about the "Federal" (for lack of a better word) governmental structures. We do know that there was a sizable opposition to the Colonial government. [[Leoben Conoy\|Leoben]] claimed to be an arms dealer supplying freedom fighters or terrorists, depending on your point of view, and [[Tom Zarek]] was the jailed leader of a sometimes violent opposition, so it stands to reason that there are a wide variety of views, some of which come into violent conflict with one another. It's also worth bearing in mind that one of the uses for which the [[Cylons (RDM)\|Cylons]] were originally used by the Colonies was as soldiers in their wars against one another. -- {{from_RDM_blog}}		:This is an area we didn't get a chance to get very far with in the [[Season 1 (2004-05)\|first season]], and I'm hoping we explore more fully in the second.

Should the series move forward, to what extent would you want to explore the practical issues of life in the fleet–you’ve touched on the basics of food, fuel and water, but how about problems such as finding enough doctors to treat the population, providing life support on ships not originally intended as passenger vessels and dealing with the inevitable fiefdoms arising on these mix and match metal life rafts?
