VIDEO: "Battlestar Galactica" Reunion "17th Precinct" Polite Surfaces Online

In an IFC-released video preview, series co-stars and co-creators Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are shown becoming severely addicted to SyFy's Battlestar Galactica. (See the clip below.) The episode, which will be streamed on the channel's website New Year's Day, was named for Battlestar creator Ron Moore.

Earlier this year, Moore's 17th Precinct pilot, touted as a BSG reunion, was passed over by NBC, which instead picked up the fantasy procedural Grimm among other new series. However, the pilot -- featuring Jamie Bamber and Patricia Helfer in a police drama about a supernatural small town -- has surfaced online.
