"First of all, Sci Fi batted down a rumor that emerged from a “Battlestar” panel at a convention over the weekend. The rumor was that the show’s last batch of episodes might not arrive until April 2009. Not so. The target date for Season 4.5 is still January, the network told Sci Fi Wire. Pretty please -- let that date be set in stone. I am not sure I could wait four more months for the final batch of “Battlestar” goodness. It already feels as though January is an eternity away." - Robert Seidman via Bookmarklet
Sure hope it's January I want to see at least a few before I leave for Navy boot camp. - Colide81

Battlestar Rumors Debunked
Wednesday at 5:11 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
From SciFi Wire: "SCI FI Channel is calling "inaccurate" rumors that the second half of Battlestar Galactica's fourth and final season will be delayed and confirmed again that the original series will return with new episodes in January 2009. Several Web sites, including io9 and Galactica Sitrep, have posted the rumors, reportedly based on comments made by Battlestar cast member Aaron Douglas at Dragon*Con. The reports are erroneous, the channel confirmed to SCI FI Wire. "It is still slated to return January 2009," a spokesman for the channel said. " - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

I believe they were schedule for January 2009 - but I came across a post yesterday that hinted it may be an April release. - Kevin Cearns
I seem to remember Jan 09 was the target date right before the break. - Earl E Morningwood
ok. Thanks I ask cause I'm going in the Navy this February and was hoping to at least see the first 3 to 4 episodes. - Colide81
I just retired from the Navy about 4 years ago. Good Luck! - Earl E Morningwood via fftogo
Thank you Earl. - Colide81
io9 are saying they may not be shown until April but that seems to be just a rumor: http://io9.com/5044078/new-bat... - Zoe

****SPOILER OH EM GEE**** 3 BSG Characters Have A Dark Secret In Their Past
August 27 at 5:51 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
From io9: "The more we hear about the new Battlestar Galactica TV movie, the more it sounds as though it'll have to reinvent the show's history a tad in order to make sense. But that could be a good thing, as writer Jane Espenson refashions some old continuity to tell a story about some Cylons on a journey of self-discovery. Star Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyrol) was just at a Fan Expo, and he confirmed which characters will star in the movie, and when it's set. Including spoilers, of course." - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

From io9: "Edward James Olmos gave the fans one hell of a loaded statement at the Battlestar Galactica panel at the Toronto Fan Expo. Olmos revealed that BSG will get even darker than before, with maximum death and destruction. He also revealed who will be the star of the BSG TV movie he's directing, and dropped some hints about the final Cylon. " - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

Quick, get some comments here so I don't read the extract and can't see what's being said. Has this covere it yet? - WorldofHiglet
Oh no! It doesn't take out the first comment, does it? Does the first comment tell us what's Gaff said? Please, don't repeat it, just let me know if I can read it without finding anything out....I can't live like this.... - WorldofHiglet
I think the first comment is safe to read -- it only says about the subjects mentioned with no actual details, and a very minor (and frankly pretty obvious) spoiler regarding the tone of the final part of the series. - Timothy Griffin
Yeah, I made sure to sanitize the post to make sure things were removed that might even be considered a spoiler. - Mark Trapp
bastage. If it turns out to be The Admirial himself (olmos was in Blade Runner) I'll be waaaaaaaay impressed. - Jason Kaneshiro
That would be some awesome cross-mythos karma - Michael W. May
I really hope it doesn't turn out that way. I got the ultimate Bladerunner boxset (complete with Unicorn sculpture and many, many discs) last Christmas. I don't want Ridley thinking he needs to go back and re-imagine the ending (again). WIth more voiceovers. And Unicorns. And a Base ship. - WorldofHiglet

From io9: "Yes, we are doing webisodes but when they are premiering I am not positive. Like the webisodes we have done before, they will continue on the story threads that don’t make the cut. I don’t want to give too much away but they are going to follow the same paradigm as we’ve done before." - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

'Battlestar Galactica': Edward James Olmos will direct Cylon-centric special feature | Show Tracker | Los Angeles Times
August 6 at 4:58 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Months before its final 10 episodes begin airing in January, we now know for certain that "Battlestar Galactica" will live on -- in the form of a two-hour special on the Sci Fi Channel to air in 2009 after the series concludes. The unnamed feature will be directed by the show's co-star, Edward James Olmos, and written by "Battlestar" writer and former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" brain Jane Espenson. The stand-alone will document the Cylons' attempts -- those of two agents in particular -- to grapple with human survivors, both those aboard ships and those left alive on planets, shortly after the Cylons' destruction of human home worlds." - Robert Seidman via Bookmarklet

From io9: "Wondering where the religious themes in Battlestar Galactica came from? A newly-released video of executive producer Ron Moore introducing a screening of an episode to a group of students explores the importance of the mythological and religious elements to the series, as well as how one throwaway line can change the direction of an entire story." - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

"Battlestar fans rejoice! In the long hiatus between Season 4 and Season 4.5, TVGuide.com's Erin Fox had a chance to speak with Battlestar hottie Jamie Bamber about what keeps Starbuck and Apollo coming back for more, what will happen now that Earth has been destroyed, and why fans will be satisfied with the series ending. But what we really want to know is, who is the last frakkin' cylon!?" - Robert Seidman via Bookmarklet

Why am I not surprised that the most entertaining moment of the “Dollhouse” Comic-Con panel revolved around “Battlestar Galactica”? Tahmoh Penikett, who stars on Joss Whedon’s new show, “Dollhouse,” alongside Eliza Duskhu, got a few “Battlestar” questions during the session. One of them was, “Does Eliza’s spine glow?” - Robert Seidman via Bookmarklet

From io9: "We were lucky enough to talk with Tricia Helfer, who plays the gorgeous Cylon infiltrator Six on Battlestar Galactica. And we wanted to ask her a question inspired by Charles Stross' new novel Saturn's Children: if the Cylons succeeded in wiping out the human race, would Six feel sad that there was nobody left to appreciate her beauty? Was Six designed to be the most beautiful of the Cylons? This actually turned into an interesting discussion about how Six uses her beauty to attain her objectives on the show, but really wants to be appreciated for her brains." - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

From io9: "We just got an email from Tom DeSanto, executive producer of the abortive Bryan Singer Battlestar Galactica series, saying the Cylon picture we featured yesterday wasn't actually from his series. (Despite being labeled by its creator as concept art for the 2001 relaunch.) DeSanto was kind enough to send us some actual Cylon concept art from his version of BSG, and it looks several orders of magnitude cooler. " - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

From io9: "Want to take your Battlestar Galactica cosplay to the next level? You can buy Starbuck's actual flight suit, as part of an auction of BSG props that NBC Universal and Propworx are organizing. More than 3,000 props will go on sale at two L.A. auctions, plus an online auction that coincides with the show's final episodes airing next January. Already, Gaius Baltar's sweaty sex-Jesus bathrobe is on offer. How could you resist?" - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet
They should action off spots on the show (like minor characters). That's what I'd pay for. Actually, I wonder if you could fund those cult shows that have small but dedicated audiences this way? (have fans pay to be actors) - Paul Buchheit
I'm pretty sure they've wrapping the production on BSG, but for future shows hell yeah. Oh, and how much for Tigh's eyepatch? :-) - Jim Stanger

"'Battlestar' crew talks about the final 10 episodes Comic-Con -- The grim midseason finale of "Battlestar Galactica" was almost the show’s ending. "That could have been the end of 'Battlestar' if the writers strike kept going," showrunner Ron Moore says. Moore says producers were concerned that if the strike kept going, the financial pressure on Sci Fi Channel would force them to cancel the remaining 10 episodes. The final episodes, which will air next year, will have the fleet reeling from their discovery of an Earth in ruins." - Robert Seidman via Bookmarklet
