Ok that was awesome and the new series can not come soon enough.

The revaltions made some sense I guess. Certainly explains why D'Anna appologised to one of the final five in her vision. One thing though

Show spoiler

If Tyrol is a Cylon does that make his child half Cylon and if so why didnt the doctor pick it up?

I would be quite happy if they go with the plan for series 4. Best to have a strong series with a good ending rather than draging it on with crappy filler stuff (like a certain series about an island).

Watching the original Galactica on Ion. My reaction: LOLZ.

Actually, not too bad for a mid-70s TV show. But still, LOLZ.

'Battlestar Galactica': Say it ain't frakkin so!

Sad but true: "Battlestar Galactica" will end its run next year after its
fourth and final season.

After weeks of speculation, the end is in fact near. According to a high
level source at Sci Fi Channel parent company NBC Universal, the show will
dock after its next 22-episode season, slated to kick off in early 2008.

Sources say the decision came down from executive producers Ronald D. Moore
and David Eick, who are said to feel creatively like this upcoming arc will
be its last.

Rumors began circulating this month when two "Battlestar Galactica" stars,
Edward James Olmos and Katee Sackhoff, referred to the next season as the
show's swan song while attending the annual Saturn Awards.

"It's the final season, so it's definitely going to be the most vicious,"
Olmos told reporters.  "As far as we know, in respects of the way we have
this show constructed, this is the final season."

Sci Fi Channel is expected to announce the news as soon as this afternoon.

UPDATE: Minutes after this was posted, Sci Fi Channel sent us the press
release confirming the show is ending. See what Eick and Moore have to say
after the jump...

"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and finally, an
end. Over the course of the last year, the story and the characters have
been moving strongly toward that end and we've decided to listen to those
internal voices and conclude the show on our own terms," Eick and Moore said
in the statement. "And while we know our fans will be saddened to know the
end is coming, they should brace themselves for a wild ride getting there --
we're going out with a bang ."

Taste the frakkiness. 
Ah well, better to finish while it's ahead and not drag on, they should do a finale mini-series too, like the way it began.

Least  we can still look forward to this.

[Reply #206 on:]

That rather sucks, although as Faze said it is better than going on so long that it ceases to be any good would be worse.

[Reply #207 on:]

Aynone interested in the upcoming movie?

Show spoiler

-> Adama and Cain will appear young..
-> Old Centurion Cylons will appear (YEEEEEESSS!!)
along with maybe glances at the old war (TOS style Battlestars/Basestars and fighters here?)
-> It will tell how Pegasus scape the Cylon first attack..

im really looking forward to see this.. surelly spectations are high and it will dissapoint..but again i wasnt at all dissapointed by the battle of new caprica and the season 3 finally

The problem is that controls are far too sensitive, i have been playing X-Wing saga for 11 years, a lot of sims (as hardcore as Falcon 4.0 and Flanker 2.0) WingCommander, etc.. and n this one its irritating to aim at the target ship without constantly overshooting it.. it break my nerves and as i said im not a rookie in space combat sims..

I played the entire B5 mod , it was hard to aim too but this is somehow harder..

Oh i pick up a possible spoiler from the upcoming movie Razor..
RDM said the movie was going to be a "flashback" on the Pegassus but will have repercussions on the final season 4..
maybe this is it:

There may be a rebelion withing the Cylon empire.. Centurions may rebeling against their superior "humanoid" models

My bets on the final Cylon:

Show spoiler

Dee: She's been within striking distance of every major character, and yet has not either become a major player nor been killed off.  Also her name means double natured

Gaida: Just why did he stab Baltar in the neck?  Maybe Baltar said something like "You're one of them.  I know it, and you know it too!"

Starbuck: Nope.  Human.  Why else would the Cylons have pilfered her ovaries.  Even though she's "resurrected" I think that only has to do with being inside the eye of Jupiter, which yields powers not fully understood.

Baltar: No way.  It's too easy.  Too obvious.

Kallie: Doubtful, but not impossible.  If she is, it means that cylons can reproduce with eachother. Duh-Duh-Duuuuuuh.

Laura: No.  She has cancer.  Cylons can't get cancer.

Adama: Naaaa. Lee being half-cylon would screw with too many heads.  Also everything Leoben says is a lie.  He said Adama is a cylon.  I call lie.

"resurrected" character: OH, crap.  So many damn people have died in this series, and any one of them can pop up at the last minute and say "Cylon 12!"  Let me just say that if it's Billy and not Kat, I'll be pissed.

[Reply #218 on:]

I'm still hoping for either Bob Dylan or Dirk Benedict.

Pick Out The Cover Art & Watch The New Clip For GALACTICA: RAZOR!

[Reply #220 on:]

thanks nix!

about the final cylon me speculations:

-Surelly is a she .. there are allready 7 male cylons...and only 4 female it would be more ballanced 7/5 than 8/4..
The 12 cylon models are suposed to represent the colonial society.. the Cylon looked at the humans and said "i can represent their entire society in only 12 models"

-About Adama or Roslin:

Show spoiler

Aparently when the time came to decide the last 4 ones who were revealed in the season 3 ending RDM stated that neither Adama or Roslin could be because that would ruin the series.. so that would mean that Adama and Roslin are NOT cylons indeed... but again.. it may only mean they are not..for now..and maybe RDM decides that one of them will be, hope not.. but again dont think so because :
RDM has said he KNOWS who the final one is and that he allready left clues , the clues could be Roslin for her strange visions and that strange headache after jumping in the nebula, but doubtfull for the reasons stated before..
Starbuck may be, her Viper exploded aparently with her inside (altought we see her hand in the ejection handle, and that shot was put there on porpouse) and here she is again alive and in a brand new mk2 Viper..

but RDM stated that she is not a Cylon since the beginning of the series.. but again he can change his mind .. can he?

Starting with next week's episode of Flash Gordon, Sci Fi will begin airing the two-minute "Razor" minisode videos during each episode of Flash Gordon. This will continue each week until the premiere of the two-hour "Battlestar Galactica: Razor" special on Nov. 24.

Haha. Nice way to boost ratings on that mediocre pile of crap...

[Reply #222 on:]

Agreed.  I'll be waiting until they're all aired and someone strings them together.  I don't like Galactica so much that I'm going to wade through Flash Gordon of all things to catch two minute clips of it.  Besides, one minute of each clip is probably commercials pimping the upcoming season!

[Reply #223 on:]

Well, at least I have the innovation of TiVo to record the whole episode and skip around it at my leisure.

I also believe that you'll be able to view the clips on Sci-Fi Channel.com like those Resistance minisodes from last season...

I hope so...

 

[Reply #225 on:]

It's not like I'm going to be watching Flash (ah ah) Gordon anyway.

[Reply #226 on:]

Please, if any of you know about when they will be watchable on-line on the web tell it!

Oh BTW..
I wonder when someone will ask RDM if the starboard flight pod of Galactica is or will be available.. It wasnt, but in "A Measure of salvation" Apollo`s Raptor group aproaches the "starboard landing bay" to land..

And wonder how many Vipers Galactica has..
The Viper tally of Galactica was some 30 fighters after "Scar"... and Pegasus added 4 squadrons, wich are some 80 more.. and even in Scar they said Pegasus was going to manufacture 2 squads more , so its 40 more...
There was no "heavy looses" after that and the battle of new caprica.. so, ignoring looses in that battle, after the Pegasus downing wich didnt loose any fighters since they were left guarding the fleet, Galactica now can have up to 30 (original) + 80 (Pegasus) + 40 (2 squads built)
 = upp to 150.. thats confusing..

RDM stated that the 12 Cylons are based on 12 human personalities.

I think when we can link the final personality (the most unpredictable, uncontrollable personality, I might add) We'll have our cyborg.

I may want to edit this down the line.  Leoben, despite the name, is SUCH a Gemini.

Yeap thats true but in the other hand:


unfortunately the video doesnt work.. but i found it on youtube:
 http://youtube.com/watch?v=pvAhOH1zJlc

Show spoiler

RDM said that the 12 cylon humanoid models are a representation of the human society... like "We look at humanity and only see 12 diferent type of people on they" , the last Cylon should be a woman, because they are allready 4 women and 7 men

THose are old fashion Cylon fighters!!! Yeees, i love you RDM! I though he was never going to show old series ships..
In the new version as you surelly know all "original series" ships have been "moved" back in  the timeline to became the ships used in the old war .. in the pilot in the museum a Viper mk.1 , BaseStar , Cylon fighter and so could be seen , making them canon in the new version

Wait a minute... those are... RAPTORS? IN THE 1ST CYLON WAR 40 YEARS AGO? what the?
Sorry.. i cant get along with this... it doesnt fit.. In the 1st Cylon war the colonials used the Viper mk1 and mk2 ans mk1 Shuttles... and surelly many other support vehicles... and now they pretend me to believe that the Viper evolved after the war in 5 new generations, each one fisically diferent to the previous one, and that the Raptor didnt? Yeap, surelly the Raptor`s electronic systems are much more advanced "today" that in the past.. but come on! they are saying that a ship wich it looks much more modern than the old viper mk2 is actually as much older?
They really didnt needed to show the Raptor for that scene.. i understood that they are not goona build a new "old ship" or compose it digitally in the hangar.. but simply not showing the Raptor would be enought to us asume they are using some other support craft..

Start of GALACTICA’s Final Season Delayed Until April!

 

Fans who have been waiting since March for new episodes of “Battlestar Galactica” are going to have to wait a little longer.

The Los Angeles Times now reports that “Galactica’s” fourth and final season, long expected to begin in January, won’t commence until April.

This would finally explain why the series’ 3rd season DVD set won’t be out till April!

Still up in the air is whether or not we’ll have to wait until 2009 to see the series’ final episodes.

The Times also reveals that series mastermind Ron Moore plans to make his directorial debut on one of “Galactica’s” last 10 episodes.
