Was Piracy Battlestar Galactica’s Key To Success?
By Groshan Fabiola
I was surfing for info on Battlestar Galactica for a retrospect the other day and came across a piece titled ‘How Battlestar Galactica Made it in' at Buddytv.com. It brought up some interesting points about how the revived Battlestar Galactica came to be. For instance, did you know that it was British broadcaster Sky-One that made the initial investment of getting a new Battlestar Series off the ground? While NBC jumped in to fully fund the second season, it was unmoved by the numbers the Battlestar Galactica mini put out, even on a cable scale. The result of fronting all that cash was first dibs on broadcasting. The entire first season of Battlestar Galactica the series was aired in by Sky One before a single American got a chance to watch it. Or so they hoped.

In reality, Battlestar Galactica episodes leapt onto the torrent networks at an unprecedented rate. Some merely minutes after the episodes had aired. Battlestar Galactica became a cult hit amongst the pirate society,

and the elusive series’ rogue run contributed to a hype of unprecedented proportions.

Not only did Battlestar Galactica pirates gleefully boast about their score, they inadvertently served as walking, talking billboards for the show, contributing to anticipation that saw the new series received with some of the best ratings in Sci-Fi channel history.
