Much welcomed (finally). Unfortunate that agreements were not reached back when the Classic Epic Series was first released on DVD in the large Cylon head packaging. Would have made a nice addition. Instead we got a mini-trailer for the new Sci-Fi mini series....

When the second video was posted on YouTube, there was an exchange between Jay Weolfel and fans in the comments section below the video.

The comments have since been deleted.

My two emails to Jay Weolfel's website, asking for more information, didn’t receive responses.

I made the below screenshot...it's interesting reading...it seems there's one more Battlestar Galactica episode out there, theoretically...

That's what I thought, from everything that Richard conveyed in the several conventions I saw him/spoke with him. It is interesting that after GINO started that he (Richard) seemed to kind of lose interest or at least some of his passion for his trailer. Must have been extremely disappointing. He did say at one time that he had about 4-5 minutes of footage of John Colicos, which would have been the last footage of Colicos prior to his death.

That could have been good but I wonder what fans of nuBSG would have thought. I liked both shows (I am old enough to remember TOS when it was new) and I think I would have liked this show. I do wonder what the new BSG series that will be on the Peacock streaming service will be like? I have heard it is a sequel of nuBSG but I don't see how that is going to work unless it is set in Blood and Chrome years.

He basically didn't need it any longer. He got the plum acting job he wanted all along and consequently he didn't need to use his trailer, or the original series for that matter, as a vehicle to try and make it big once again.

That may be a cynical and harsh assessment on my part, but after I reintroduced myself to what Richard wrote in 2001 to knock the DeSanto project that never was, it was all too clear to me that his passion for the series began and ended with what was in it for himself. Which is perfectly well and good for someone who has to look out for his own interests, but in his case that also meant stringing along a lot of Galactica fans along.
