Indeed, but it does count as a part of the extended season, last I heard.

Sci Fi’s hit BattleStar Galactica finally gets some frakkin’ good toys
By Justin Aclin
Posted May 7, 2007 4:50 PM
So you say you want toys based on Battlestar Galactica, the hit adult sci-fi show that’s wrapping up its third mind-blowing, sexy robot-full season? Well, Diamond Select Toys has just one thing to say to that: “By your command.”
DST will be rolling out figures based on the show starting this August in the same style and scale as their Star Trek, Stargate and Buffy figures. We sat down with DST’s Director Chuck Terceira to find out what kind of birthing chamber these toys had to go through and what kind of surprises we can expect from the line, because it just wouldn’t be “BSG” without surprises.
TOYFARE: When did Battlestar Galactica first land on your radar? Were you guys watching from the beginning, or did you notice it was picking up buzz?
CHUCK TERCEIRA: We were Galactica fans from the original TV show, and we've loved the modern take since the SCI FI Channel miniseries. Art Asylum was able to jump in right away and get resin and MiniMates rights that they later brought to us to partner with. But we had to wait for some rights to clear before we could make our move for the action figures. It’s been a long road, but worth every step.
How did you guys decide to use Jean St. Jean as the sculptor on the project?
We picked him for this long before the license was signed and long before we even told him about it. Art Asylum was working on the designs for the figures before the ink was even dry on our contract and [Art Asylum Vice-President] Robert Yee and I decided we really liked how the Stargate figures were coming along and wanted the same feel—with some extra Art Asylum flair thrown in. So Jean was the only choice.

FRAKKIN’ SWEET!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ‘Battlestar’ cast speaks out on having their own toys
JAMIE BAMBER (Lee “Apollo” Adama): “It’s really exciting. When I was a kid I had those kinds of toys—the Star Wars ones in particular I was crazy about. So it’s kind of a trip. They’re not genuine toys. I think they’re toys for adults that should know better, because our show’s a bit adult.”

Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.Comment

Crave Online: Mark Stern (SciFi Channel) Interview:
In this interview, Mr. Stern discusses season 4 of BSG and the new series, Flash Gordon. Please follow the link below for the complete interview.

Mark Stern gives details on Battlestar Galactica season 4.
Fred Topel, CraveOnline
May 8, 2007
Ron Moore talked a lot about plans for the next season of Battlestar
Galactica. You can't go much higher than him, but maybe the vice
president of programming for Sci-Fi Channel would work. Mark Stern
added to Moore's tease of season for, as well as previewed the new
Sci-Fi series Flash Gordon. Eric Johnson plays the title hero with
the female lead still to be cast, but it looks to be a very different
update to a classic than Battlestar.
Crave Online: I know you just wrapped, but when can we have more
Battlestar?
Mark Stern: We're wrapped on season three. Season four is now going
to be 22 episodes. Two of those are going to be kind of an extended
two hour episode coming back in November that is a standalone movie
unto itself. It's great, it fills in some other mythologies. It's not
just a continuation between season three and season four. And then
the remaining 20 episodes are going to be broken in half and come
back in '08.

Broken in half??? This mean we'll end up with a 4.0 and a 4.5 AGAIN. Is it really that hard to air 20 episodes without break?Originally posted by morjana View Post

"Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment."
"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."Comment

It's official, season 4 will be the last:
Battlestar Ending Next Season
The producers of SCI FI Channel's Battlestar Galactica confirmed that the upcoming fourth season will be the show's last. Executive producers Ronald Moore and David Eick said that it was a creative decision to end the acclaimed series with the upcoming 22-episode season.
"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and, finally, an end," Eick and Moore said in a statement on May 31. "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. 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."
In November, a special two-hour Battlestar episode, "Razor," will air. The fourth season kicks off in early 2008.
At last month's Saturn Awards, Edward James Olmos said that the upcoming season would be the show's last, prompting Eick to say at the time that no decision had been made. "I promise you that when Ron and I make a decision about Galactica's future, we'll let you know," he said then.
