Battlestar Galactica


It's been a year since we saw new episodes of BSG. I've heard conflicting dates as to when it will pick up again. Sci-Fi channel said as recently as last night that Season 4 starts in March...Producer Ron Moore's blog, however, says April. He also says that they only have completed scripts for about half of the planned 20something episode season. So if the strike drags on, we may never see the planned end to the series.

But not all is awful...a few spoilers for the new season are trickling out, and the seldom-talked about side project, Caprica, may be made after all, if only as a 2-hour pilot. (The script for that was finished, so it's ready to go to fill airtime during the strike)

io9.com has the details over on their site.

oh god, i can't wait for the new season. funnily enough, i'd just finished re-watching the mini-series when i read your blog. i turned yet another friend on to the show, so while she has been here visiting in 2 days, we made it through that and most of the first season, again. what's sad is richard and i for no real reason started re-watching the whole thing around new year's; we found the boxed set on sale, and well, every day, we've been reliving the joy. i know, we're nerds. but i just... can't... stop...

I should pull out the miniseries again...if that wasn't good tv, then I don't know what is.
They keep reshowing episodes here, but it seems like it's always the one of Baltar's trial. And I've seen that one enough.

word. although i'm not kidding, i'll watch them all over and over and over. i think there are a few i don't really pay attention to--like i'll go check email and look for job while they're on--but those are few and far between. i'm finally downloading the original series. just so i have something else to watch... pathetic, i know
