F*x, you listening???? BSG has been given 22 instead of 13 episodes for the new season, starting early 2008, PLUS, there's going to be a DVD movie in the latter part of this year.
One of the best TV shows, ever, of any channel, of any genre.
So Say We All!

I'm very glad to hear that scifi is putting more confidence in the show, however, I can't believe I'm going to have to wait almost a year between season 3 and 4! Why are they waiting so long????

The two hour event sounds cool but if it deals with Pegasus and not the actual BSG characters then I'm not sure how good that'll be. I mean, I've always been interested in seeing if maybe another small fleet escaped or tried to and failed and the "Caprica" prequel series sounded interesting, but Pegasus? What is there to know? They escaped, they killed and abandoned civies to survive, they tried to fight.

Not completely sure about this move...

I don't think it's that big a deal. BSG had only thirteen episodes in the first season alone. Seasons 2 and 3 both have 20 eps. They're just giving them two more, plus the Pegasus tv movie (assuming that's what it is), the direct to DVD film and the spin-off series.

So there will be no shortage of GALACTICA. I never got the sense that SCI-FI was screwing Ron D. Moore over.

Of course, none of this still makes up for the hypothetical random, arbitrary killing off of Starbuck. This last ep really needs to go into overtime to placate the "fuck you" to fans from two weeks ago.

Great. Since Moore and co. only want to make 13 episodes per season, that means we'll be getting 9 filler episodes, which means there'll be nine times when the message boards will be flooded with threads and posts such as "BSG past its prime!!!!", "BSG jumped the shark!!!!", "I'm done with BSG!!!!", "What the frak is wrong with BSG!?!?!?!", "Why can't it be more like season 1!?!?!?", etc.

But other than that (hearing idiotic, brain-dead fans bitch about it to no end), I'm looking forward to so much more BSG goodness.

Now, now, Cisall. Time to take the meds again....

I believe it has been announced that BSG is confirmed as having only one more year left. I really hope that that is true, and that it will give them the focus they need to make sure this last season is great!

I recently read a rumor which could make things even worse. Not only will we be waiting until 2008 for the new season but apparently Sci-Fi is planning on splitting the season even more drastically than in past years. The first half to air early in 2008 and the second half...wait for it...not until 2009?!

I'm beginning to question the wisdom of the execs over there with all the cancellations and how they are choosing to fill air time. Do they really think dragging out the final season over two years is going to help their ratings?

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I heard this same rumor on a podcast this morning. The podcasts cites a BSG panel and comments by one of the cast as the source of this info.

Anyone from here that went to D*C attend any of the BSG panels and can confirm or deny this rumor?

I read in the wikipedia article about Battlestar Galactica: Razor that the move (Razor) which deals with just Pegasus will include Apollo's missions on Pegasus.

Also, the movie is more or less the first 2 episodes of the season, so it's included in the 22 episodes. So really, I think we're only getting 20 episodes or 'regular' BSG.

I could be wrong though.

Keep on flyin'

No release date yet on amazon.com and they usually keep their info pretty up to date.

Well, I saw it in Virgin last Saturday, so it's out this side of the Pond. Still only 1/3 through S2 myself.

STORYMARK


Season 3 will probably come out just before Christmas. They've been fairly consistent releasing previous seasons on DVD just a couple weeks before a new season starts. So, with the new one starting in January, late Dec. is my bet.

I just recently jumped onto the BSG bandwagon a few weeks ago, and have gone through every season but S3. Hoping to get through S3 before the new season starts and I am up to snuff. But with that said about a possible S4 that spans 2 years on SciFi.... FRACK.

Sorry, had to be said.
