Battlestar Galactica - Season IV

Battlestar Renewed For Season 4

SCI FI Channel announced that it has renewed its Peabody-winning original series Battlestar Galactica, ordering 13 new episodes. Production will resume this summer in Vancouver, Canada, with an eye toward a January 2008 premiere.

The decision comes after the series' successful move to a new 10 p.m. timeslot on Sundays. Since moving, Battlestar Galactica's audience has grown over its third-season average by 8 percent in total viewers, by double digits in female viewers, by 19 percent in the show's target demographic of adults aged 18-49 and by 14 percent in adults 25-54. The Jan. 28 episode, "Taking a Break From All Your Worries," delivered 2.5 million total viewers and 1.6 million adults 18-49, the largest audience for any episode since the season-two premiere.

"We're thrilled to bring Battlestar back for another season," Mark Stern, SCI FI's executive vice president of programming, said in a statement. "This series has delivered on every level, from the writing to the acting to the production values. SCI FI is proud to be the home of the best show on television."

The series is from NBC Universal Television Studio and is executive-produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. Its cast is led by Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. Battlestar recently returned with the second half of its third original season, immediately following SCI FI's newest original series, The Dresden Files.

"While we never had any doubt that SCI FI would get behind a fourth season of Battlestar, it's thrilling to finally make it official, and for Ron and I to continue using this great genre to investigate the darker corners of society, politics and humanity," executive producer David Eick said in a statement.

 

Anyone watch the most recent episode (spoiler warning)





























Starbuck's biting the dust was not surprising but I thought she should have went out in a blaze of glory rather than just going crazy and killing herself.....

 

Agreed....although I never really liked her at all...NOT attractive in the least, annoying character. Give me Boomer (the asian cylon chick) anyday.

 

Dammit! That's Season III!

 

I could not find the old thread so I used this one. It is hard to keep which season it is straight anyway since they go on hiatus mid season.

I did not like her character that much. She basically caused Cat's death.

 

What do you guys think about them replacing the vipers with the flying motorcycles? I am just not into it. The little kid genius who tells Adama what to do is a bit much as well.

 

Starbucks not dead. She is a Cylon.

 

Not dead. Not a cylon. She ejected before blowing up and the raider was real.

 

Last night I watched the episode where she blew up and the first thing I thought about was when the Lucy Lawless character saw one of the final Cylon human models and she said something like "you" with surprise and a bit of icredulity in her voice. So I'm thinking it's her or Adama. Then a few minutes ago I got a wild hair and looked around and found the following on Wikipedia:

"In a brief interview featured in an online gag reel for the third season, Sackhoff claims that Starbuck dies during the season, and that Starbuck is actually a Cylon. In light of Starbuck's apparent death, this might actually be more than just a joke."

Here is the link to the gag reel on You Tube, it's not bad.

Oops, here is the link:

hmm, this is how they work in the oracle's prediction that the cylon that held her hostage was coming to get her I think.
