Hey FF...You may want to get an even smaller font for your next post. Man that's hard to read!
This show was great during its run.
If will continue to be great until they pull it off the air.
What will they replace it with?
The show the executives at sci fi were hoping to replace it with has since been cancelled, The new flash gordon.
This show has remained relevent to our times which was the thing that made the classic star trek series great. But which enterprise failed miserably to follow.
Hard to beleive the guy who wrote that show actually writes this.

CAPRICA IS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW BSG ON SCI-FI.

Just saw listed on IMDB (The Internet Movie Database) a new BSG T.V. movie that is titled "Battlestar Galactica: The Plan" and it's now in production and it is being directed by Edward James Olmos.
NOTE: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE UPCOMING "CAPRICA" SHOW
Here is the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1286130/
Now, I can't find much more info about this telefilm, but my guess is that this film will have something to do with the Cylon's plan that was mentioned in the opening prolog of the show during the first few seasons.
The cast listing on IMDB is full of "rumor" notations. Sadly (and with some concern), I don't see characters of Apollo, Starbuck, Baltar, or even The President listed as being in this production.
I also suspect that this is going to be broadcast and released on DVD for the holiday shopping season, and thus before the rest of season 4 in 2009. Let's hope, because I am truly jonesin big time for some Galactica!

"THE PLAN" IS SUPPOSED TO AIR AFTER SEASON 4.5. EDWARD JAMES OLMOS IS DIRECTING IT. FROM WHAT THE PEOPLE AT SCI-FI CHANNEL HAVE SAID IT WILL TELL THE STORY OF THE FIVE BEFORE THE ATTACK ON THE COLONIES.

The Mangler Bros. Psycho Dayv Armchaireviews Notes on Suicide
That's what I've heard too, Although we keep hearing vague references of what is to come [ie: webisodes / movies] that it might be eas to get our wires crossed...
Looks like the first half of season 4 will get it's own dvd release too. I figured they'd wait til the end. looks like it'll be seasons 4.0 and 4.5. I'd always wondered why season 2 was called 2.0 but none of the rest were titled that way...
Olmos noted that he is directing a two-hour Galactica telefilm currently in production. The film will air on SciFi in 2009 with a DVD release scheduled shortly thereafter (much like “Razor,” which told the story of the Battlestar Pegasus). As announced by SciFi earlier this month, the film was written by series writer Jane Espenson, and is shooting in Vancouver. The cast includes Michael Trucco (Anders), Douglas and Dean Stockwell (Cavil).
Olmos introduced his wife, actress Lymari Nadal, whose small role in the 2003 Galactica miniseries will be greatly expanded in the film, which begins before the miniseries’ events. The story focuses on characters we know, including Stockwell’s Cylon, Number One; Trucco’s resistance Leader Sam Anders, and Douglas’ Chief Galen Tyrol. The Cylons’ much-vaunted plan apparently didn’t account for one reality: survivors. Amid the chaos following their attack on the Colonies, two powerful Cylon agents struggle with plots and priorities on the human ships that got away, and among the resistance fighters who were left behind.
Anyone else irritated that the "Razor" disc is included in the Season 4.0 set? I already bought it, damn it, I don't want to be forced to buy it again.
Personally, I'd be more annoyed if it wasn't included. It is part of the season, it makes since it be included with the season DVD.

IT'S ANNOYING FOR THOSE WHO BOUGHT RAZOR, BUT THOSE WHO CHOSE TO WAIT TO SEE IF IT WOULD COME WITH SEASON 4.0 WILL BE REWARDED. IT'S NOT LIKE STUDIOS HAVEN'T SONE STUFF LIKE THIS BEFORE.

The Mangler Bros. Psycho Dayv Armchaireviews Notes on Suicide
Yeah I went a bought Razor already but given the previous releases we've had here in OZ i wouldn't be suprised if we don't get it again. I think the most we've ever gotten her in Region 4 is a handful of deleted scenes and the miniseries had a brief behind the scenes video. no extended 'unfinished business' / no webisodes... :(
Seems like they are just padding out a short season release with incentives to buy it re: razor. The question is - Will there be a full season 4 set at some point down the track, Rather than a 4.0 set and a 4.5 set.
what was annoying is that I went to a local video store chain [video ezy] to pick up a copy of Razor. They said they had it and searched top to bottom, could not locate a single copy for me. found it elsewhere, went back a few days later and it was prominently displayed on the front counter.
Looks like the next [final] lot starts Jan 16 2009 and the webisodes start next week, circa December 12.
I just read Caprica got Picked up by the Sci Fi channel.
Not sure if this is true or not.
If it is a test of a few episodes or if they picked up the whole first season.
Supposedly Season 1 and 2 are being remastered for Blu Ray. I am not sure if they are even out yet.
I do know the restoration on the classic galactica was an utter dissaster and dissapointment. After claiming that universal spared no expense in restoring and transfering the original negatives the dvds were almost vhs quality and not dvd enhanced standard.
I bought the 90 dollar boxet and was pretty fracking mad when the quality was that low. Still i liked the uncut episodes and deleted scenes.
A lot of the episodes had a nostalgia factor for me. You could tell that even though Dyktras effects by Apogee where expensive at the time that they were rushed and are cheap looking by todays standards. A lot of the show is very dirty looking like it was shot on 16mm and not 35mm. I almost think they only went back to the earlierist film prints they had and transfered them for the dvd as if that is the shape the oneg was in someone should clearly be fired.
Because only a multi million dollar restoration can save the way the show looks and a cult classic like this show is not going to get that care and money lavished on it when they can spend all that dough on the current incarnation.
The live action scenes looked almost newly shot on the dvd it was the shots with the composite opticals that were several generations lower in quality and something should have been done to make it right for the dvd.
If they saved those old effects they could have recombine them digitally thereby skipping the generation loss they had in the 1980's with the optical printers.
Too bad almost no film studio or tv studio saves those shots even CBS had to recreate there stock fx on the remaster of star trek. Only Lucas appears to have saved his opticals.

Caprica did get picked up, a full 20-episode season order, with the first 2 being the 2-hour pilot that was shot last year. The rest of the season is being shot this summer.
Some BSG goodness until Friday 16th January (in the US) and Tues 20th January for UK Sky One viewers...

Am looking forward to the end of season 4 - and also 'The Plan' dvd (the war as seen from the Cylon point of view) - hopefully it'll have a few, as so far, unanswered questions... erm... answered ;)

They are going to do the same bullshit double dip or triple dip on the dvds as they did in the past, new boxset season 4.0. I will pay for a full boxset not half a season for the price of a full one.
They did this with season 2 as well. Epic Fail on Universals part.
I already had to buy season 1 twice to get all the bonus materials.
The only season i think they did not pull a fast one on people was season 3.
Unless of course those people already had razor then they ended up with a duplicate copy. Again utter stupidity on their part. Either release it as part of the boxset or seperately. Just don't expect people to buy something twice.
I'm sick and tired of them dragging the finale of the series out. Been over a year and a half since they announced the end of the series. At this point i could not give a shit over who the final cylon is, if that has no bearing on the shows overall plot or story arc. It reeks of the JJ abrams plot twist were people go wtf?, i think they call that a mindfuck. I've already been through this nonsense on 24, Heroes, Lost And Alias.
The Politics are boring, i want adventure like the original galactica. Plus you knew who the bad guys were and who the good guys were. Are they going to segway into something original than the Bush bashing in the guise of sci fi, i mean Obama's going to be sworn in.
Can Ronald Moore do anything at all original. I mean he recycled his post 911 dark story angle from enterprise for galactica, and now the trailer i saw for Caprica makes me think James Cameron's Terminator.

I find your complaints about the current BSG interesting, since they're some of the aspects I like best about it.
I find the political aspect of the show more intriguing than most political shows on TV. I hate the original BSG and it's cheesy "adventure" - they took a very good, very dark concept and tried to kiddie it up and it failed miserably. And I love the ambiguity of the protagonists and antagonists - not as cut and dry and boring as most fiction.
And the series was finished last summer. Sci-Fi just wanted to drag it out as long as they could because, honestly, it's the only thing that gets them ratings anymore, and when it's gone, they'll be lost completely. I agree about the season sets to an extent, but when seasons are split up by that much time, they should be considered a separate season anyway IMO.
So, I just watched all the webisodes... pretty dull stuff.. but what was the deal at the end? What does Gaeta want to tell the admiral? Is it common knowledge that Tigh is a Cylon? I can't remember.
War does not make one great.
Yeah, by the end of season 4, pretty much everybody knows who the 4 Cylons are....I think!
I stopped watching the webisodes, they were a bit dull. I'll wait and watch them all in one hit. Maybe tomorrow before season 4.5 kicks off!
It's going to be interesting but i get the feeling a lot more people are going to die...
I really enjoyed 4.0 but to me characters like Tyroll just stopped being interesting, Hopefully they'll sort that out quickly.
The two things I took away from the webisodes:
1) We now know what Baltar said to Gaeta to make him stab Baltar in the neck with a pen, though it was kind of underwhelming. ("I know what your Eight did!")
2) While the fleet has allied with the rebel Cylons, and the four Cylons within the fleet are tolerated (Tigh's still on duty), the experience with the Eight on board the Raptor has led Gaeta to believe that no Cylon can be trusted ("I need to speak to Adama directly." "Why?" "Because you're a Cylon.") and he's going to do something to stop them (or something to that effect).
All in all, not entirely necessary - it appears to just be set-up for something Gaeta's going to do, the way "The Resistance" was meant to get you emotionally invested in Jammer and Duck's characters while setting up their roles in the beginning of season 3 (suicide bombing, the New Caprica Police thing). I thought they were engaging, though - not sure why everyone seems to think they were dull.
And I agree about Tyrol, I lost interest in him after New Caprica, to be honest. I think he should have died on New Caprica during "Exodus," and Cally should have been a Cylon, but then again, she became very annoying after New Caprica. They should just never have gotten together at all, IMO - I think that was what made their characters uninteresting/annoying.
According to the AICN review, the final cylon WILL be revealed in tonight's episode (though that scene was removed from the review copy of the episode - it comes at the end/toward the end).
I was betting on Gaeta, but after the webisodes and based on the "YouWillKnowTheTruth" website, it seems like they're trying real hard to make us think he is only to pull the rug out from under us. I think he's going to do something to sabotage the alliance between the rebel Cylons and Humans, but won't be a cylon himself.
I've changed my bet to Elosha. I know she's been dead since Season 2, but I think she's the original Cylon, living on Earth, controlling everything. Either that or it's Dualla. Guess we'll find out tonight.
--edit--
Wow. I was wrong.
well, THAT was unexpected.
I'm willing to bet a whole lot of people will now say [lie] that they predicted it was ***** all along. I would have liked a bit more screen time with Tyrol and Anders, only snippets of info there, really...
Does anyone like Tory...at all?
ChainsawAsh, I thought you might be right too. Especially after she showed up [Elosha] in the recap at the start.
