Thanks for posting this, morjana. I would have been so upset if my DVR wouldn't have recorded the entire episode.

[Platschu]

Is it true that the season 4.5 will be 11 episode long? Because there were news we will get extended episodes as well. Plus we willl get the two hour long BSG : The Plan - the second BSG DVD movie.

BSG - Paley Center for Media: POLL - Who is the Last Cylon?:

At The Paley Center for Media:

(Please follow the link for the complete article.)



Battlestar Galactica Final Cylon

Who is the final Cylon?

* Admiral William Adama (Edward James Olmos)

Quoth Leoben: “Adama is a Cylon.” When D’Anna tells Roslin that only four of the final five Cylons are in her fleet in “Revelations,” where was Adama?

* Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell)

Cured of cancer with Hera’s blood, she can be ruthless.

* Lee “Apollo” Adama (Jamie Bamber)

Switched at birth?

* Dr. Gaius Baltar (James Callis)

The hybrid says the final Cylon is “clawing toward redemption.” But doesn’t Baltar embody humanity—at its worst and best?

* Kara “Starbuck” Thrace (Katee Sackhoff)

Too obvious? The hybrid claims Starbuck will lead humanity to its end. Sackhoff insists it isn’t she.

* Felix Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani)

Missing from the famous Entertainment Weekly “Last Supper” photo, he is tech-savvy.

* Tom Zarek (Richard Hatch)

Also MIA from “The Last Supper.” How ironic would that be?

* Anastasia “Dee” Dualla (Kandyse McClure)

A wolf in sheep’s clothing? Like Gaeta and Zarek, missing from EW. And she was an Adama.

* Karl “Helo” Agathon (Tahmoh Penikett)

Can’t think of a single reason.

* None of the above

Is it someone else not listed? Post a comment below after voting [at the link above].

[g.o.d]

nice, but some of us already know who the Fifth is

[Vis Uban]

I'm definitely a Battlestar fan, but seriously, could ScFi be any pushier about the premier? It seems every other commercial has the "You will know the truth" or other catchy Battlestar slogan. Though I suppose they have to since the last half of the season was a year ago...

'Battlestar Galactica' countdown: Alessandro Juliani's Felix Gaeta
01:08 PM PT, Jan 14 2009

Alessandro Juliani's Felix Gaeta is an understated but integral character in the "Battlestar Galactica" universe. He's come through in many tough situations (hot-wiring Galactica, spotting all those frakking Cylon Basestars, saving the whole human race by helping during the occupation), and now he has what seems to be a permanent limp to show for it.

We caught up with Alessandro for a quick Q&A as the season premiere nears.

Pick two moments during the show's run that you would call "defining," for both your character and the show overall.

For Felix — "The Stump Serenade" and a moment yet to be aired that will be extremely obvious once viewed.

For "Battlestar" — Eddie's ad-libbed "So say we all!" in the miniseries.

It's the final stage of the epic journey for 'Battlestar Galactica'

Life is often more about the journey than the destination. But sometimes the destination matters.

For the surviving humans in the ragtag fleet on “Battlestar Galactica” (9 p.m. Friday, Sci Fi; four stars), one hope had kept them going through years of war with their enemies, the Cylons. The survivors hoped and prayed that one day they’d find Earth, the home of humanity’s lost “13th Tribe,” and the fleet’s long journey would be over. They’d find rest.

Early Review: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA “Sometimes A Great Notion” (Season 4 Episode 11)

I just finished watching the first of the 10 new episodes from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, “Sometimes A Great Notion,” which premieres tonight, January 16, at 10pm on Sci Fi. All I gotta say is FRAK ME!!!

Unfortunately, I have been sworn not to reveal the juiciest details from the premiere, but I will try to do my best to convey how exciting the episode was.

'Battlestar' begins final journey
January 16, 2009
Life is often more about the journey than the destination. But sometimes the destination matters.

For the surviving humans in the ragtag fleet on "Battlestar Galactica" (9 p.m. Friday, Sci Fi ****), one hope had kept them going through years of war with their enemies, the Cylons. The survivors hoped and prayed that one day they'd find Earth, the home of humanity's lost "13th Tribe," and the fleet's long journey would be over. They'd find rest.

Only it didn't quite work out that way. (If you don't want to know what happened in the first half of Season 4, stop reading now.)

'Battlestar' crew confronts a terrible reality
All that the surviving humans have hoped for is dust. And things are bound to get worse before they get better.
By MARY McNAMARA, Television Critic


Not every show could survive a midseason break of more than six months, but then “Battlestar Galactica” isn't every show. It's an ever-evolving mythology, possibly a new teched-out version of the book of Genesis. Production for its fourth and final season was interrupted by last year's writers strike, breaking the narrative rather neatly in half and providing the adrenaline rush of a midseason cliffhanger of serious proportions.

In the air: 'Battlestar Galactica' is worth its wait in gold
By Karla Peterson (Contact) Union-Tribune Staff Writer
2:00 a.m. January 16, 2009

The remaining episodes of the fourth and final season of “Battlestar Galactica” begin airing tonight at 10 on the Sci Fi Channel, but I can't tell you anything about them because I don't want to know.

Please, no hate mail or severed Cylon heads in my bed. I am a loyal follower of Adm. William Adama and his time-jumping crew, and I can't wait to see how they wrap it all up when the final episode of this stunning space epic airs in March. I'm just not ready to see it now.

Here's the rub. The first season of “Battlestar Galactica” debuted in January 2005. After hearing raves from critics and besotted testimonials from fans, I started watching it in June. Of 2008

Strong Women Steer Battlestar Galactica's Final Voyage

Excerpt:

In her autobiography Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher recalls her most memorable direction from George Lucas while playing Princess Leia in Star Wars: Forget about wearing a bra because "there's no underwear in outer space."

The women of sci-fi have come a long way since then, and for proof, look no further than Battlestar Galactica. Returning Friday night for the start of its final half-season, the Peabody Award-winning television series continues to blend current events and religion into its thoughtful story lines. Along …

Exclusive Interview: Tamoh Penikett Talks BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and DOLLHOUSE Star
John Francis Daley

Excerpt:

After parlaying five seasons on the critically acclaimed BATTLESTAR GALACTICA into a starring role in Joss Whedon’s highly anticipated new series DOLLHOUSE, some might say Tamoh Penikett is the luckiest actor in Hollywood. This TV Addict wouldn’t be one of those people.

As recently, we were given the opportunity to interview Penikett, whose incredibly concise and well thought out answers made it clear that ‘luck’ has nothing to do with it.

The following is what he had to say with regards to BATTLESTAR GALACTICA coming to an end, the fate of his character Lt. Karl C. ‘Helo’ Agathon and his role in Whedon’s upcoming DOLLHOUSE.

Solving the mysteries of Battlestar Galactica
By Kat Angus, January 16, 2009 1:01 PM

EXCERPT:
It's been a long seven months for Ron Moore and David Eick. The final season of Battlestar Galactica has been one of those most anticipated television events of the last decade, and fans and critics alike cried out in frustration when the Sci Fi network decided to split the season in half, airing the first ten episodes in early 2008 and saving the rest for 2009. Since the first part of Season 4 finished airing last June, executive producers Moore and Eick have fielded countless complaints about how much fans disliked the long hiatus.

"People have made that very clear to me," Moore says, sighing. "I gathered that."
