They did one before season three as well, so this will be the second recap special.

guessed i missed it

[DOIKECARTER]

I assume there's still no news of the Region 1 BSG season 3 DVDs?

Also, was there a zero issue of Dynamite Entertainment's BSG: Year Zero title? I seem to be missing some of the plot...

I´ve checked 2 issues of BSG SEASON ZERO. I felt disappointed. Yes, it´s the Galactica. Adama and Tigh are there and Kara appears later, I guess. I felt it wasn´t the series. Adama in a flight suit 2 years before the attacks? In spanish it is said "no se puede estar en misa y repicando". He can´t be flying and be the Commander. Too similar to Star Trek. I won´t read any more.


Zarek looked far better than BSG Season Zero.

Zarek was a pretty cool mini-series. I'm hoping the new "Origins" one will be too. I agree with the assessment of Season Zero; I felt the actual 13-issue series was the same as well. Not the BSG I know. And after reading the one-shot issue "Pegasus", it seems everyone fought the Cylons long before the mini-series. It takes something away.

And yes, there was a 0 issue of Season Zero, it was Dynamite's "Free Comic Book Day" issue.

How soon after broadcast does it come out?

How soon after broadcast does it come out?

In R1 it comes out on December 5, so ten days or so, R2 I heard it was either right before or right after Christmas, but I can't be positive on that.

Hmmm... I'll probably get the R1 version. The standard of Special Features on the R2 editions has been pretty poor.

Uk.amazon accepts preorders and announces December 26th as their release date. No data about extras. Us.amazon announces December 4th as their release date.

R2 editions have been very poor in extras. I´ll put my money on R1...even if I have to watch RAZOR with my laptop.

Luckily enough, I've a multi-Region DVD player.

Review: Razor Slices Smartly Into Battlestar's Past
By Mark Anderson

Among fans of Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica, a question persists about the series' 49,000 Earth-seeking survivors of Cylon armageddon: Does their adventure ultimately provide some sort of back story to the present-day human race?

The show's fourth and final season, slated to begin in April, should settle this issue once and for all. But in the meantime, the Battlestar universe has its own back stories in need of revisiting.

Enter the 87-minute-long "extended episode" called Battlestar Galactica: Razor, to be screened like a regular feature film in select cities Monday and aired Nov. 24 on Sci Fi. A prequel to Sci Fi's Battlestar -- which remains an indisputable contender for best show on television despite a wobbly third season -- Razor delivers the sharp writing, sci-fi eye candy and solid acting that made the show a surprise hit for the cable channel.

Those not already familiar with the series may face a challenge with Razor as their introduction, jump-cutting as it does between three time periods in the series' rich history. On the other hand, Razor is also the quickest way a newbie can sample Battlestar's rich plot lines and cram for the show's highly anticipated final season. Like the series' best episodes, Razor delivers pulse-pounding battle scenes as well as the human drama of real characters struggling through trying and sometimes inhumane circumstances.

Did Ben Silverman End-Run The WGA?/Battlestar, Office, 30 Rock, Casts Suspended

excerpt:

At the same time that Silverman was putting the final touches on the Quarterlife deal, Universal Media Studios reportedly papered the industry with force majeure letters, notifying the casts of The Office, Bionic Woman, Battlestar Galactica and others that their contracts were being suspended. Nikke Finke quotes a BsG cast member as saying:

....We are not terminated. We are on hold to BSG with no pay in perpetuity until the strike is over. When the strike does end Universal/Scifi will then decide whether they want to bring the show back or let us go. Until that time we are in first position with BSG and will have to clear any other project with Scifi/Uni.

They are not following article 61 of the SAG agreement and are about to get a lot of calls from SAG lawyers. They say that since we have shot the minimum 13 episodes of this season, as per our contracts, that they are under no obligation to pay us or let us go. We are essentially on hiatus. To say yesterday was a tough day on set as this information was slowly presented to us would be a profound understatement.
