5. They still play it in the wee hours on the SciFi Channel....
But this is the remake of BSG... A far cry from any other SF show on standard TV.

6. NBC played the miniseries as a dual presentation with SciFi...
...when they were floating the idea of making a renewed series of it. Probably want to draw some of the same demographics as SciFi.

12. Actually, I think they used Chariots of the Gods
by Von Daniken.

13. Not that I know of, but they are exploring some radical religious
concepts. The Cylons are monotheistic fundies while the humans are into the Greek gods.

It should be interesting to see where they take it.
