third-season average by 8 percent in total viewers, by double digits in female
viewers, by 19 percent in the show's target demographic of adults aged 18-49 and
by 14 percent in adults 25-54. the jan. 28 episode, "taking a break from all

ronald d. moore and david eick. its cast is led by edward james olmos, mary
mcdonnell, katee sackhoff, jamie bamber, james callis, tricia helfer and grace
park. battlestar recently returned with the second half of its third original
season, immediately following sci fi's newest original series, the dresden

season of battlestar, it's thrilling to finally make it official, and for ron
and i to continue using this great genre to investigate the darker corners of
society, politics and humanity," executive producer david eick said in a statement.
