No one has posted that the writer's strike has shut down BSG season 4 production after episode 13........I'm stunned..... :p
-
BSG is overhyped IMHO. the new Cylons suck in more way that I can write.
-
Good because you couldn't even form that one sentence in a grammatically correct fashion :p
And the new BSG is A) awesome, and it's B ) too bad that that happened :(
-
It's implied, IMO, since everything else has stopped production too.

I'm pretty sure that it was canceled before the first season was over. So they might have decided to not release it on video.
-
It's on DVD over here in the UK. No idea about in the Baltic states.
-
Yeah, this is a goddamned travesty. At least Razor is airing this weekend.... right?
(I'm a fan of BSG but I am NOT going to say 'godsdamned').

Nope. The original series had two seasons. The first was the very expensive high budget first season which for the time was not too bad and it was a full out and out season. The second season was called Battlestar 1980 and it was extreme low budget, set on earth, far more cheesy and generally not good. They sort of finished that season off and then shut it all down.
As far as I know, we've known since strike started that BSG writers would be affected and that the seasons run would not be finished in time to beat the strike. This is partly why the fourth season isn't set to start until April. I think the idea is that there will hopefully be resolution by that time and production will resume on the fourth season in time to make it all fit together. Not sure why there is any surprise.

BSG 1980 DOES NOT EXIST. IT IS A CYLON LIE.
More realistically, BSG 1980 was not a second season, it was a whole different and much sillier show.

They sort of finished that season off and then buried it deep underground in a lead-lined vault carved with runes of warding, all the while praying that it would never escape lest it spell the doom of mankind.
Fixed that for you. :)

I just assume that the studios are going to cave in sooner or later, and then production will resume. Season 4 will only start airing in 2008, so we might not even notice (hopefully).

While the original was quite campy, at least it had the dignity to use an actual orchestra and not whatever off the shelf disco music they could find, unlike BSG 1980.
If BSG 1980 has taught us anything, it's that cloaking devices and time travel should stay with star trek, where they belong.

IIRC, there was an episode where someone mentioned that time travel was "actually pretty simple". Too bad none of them thought to simply go back in time and stop the complete annihilation of their entire race. Maybe there's some sort of low-IQ factor to time travel they didn't explain.
-
Maybe they liked their entire race being annihilated. Did you think of that?
Hell I'd be willing to wipe out most of the planet for a shot at a young Jane Seymour. I'd only need to figure out exactly how to arrange the accident to get rid of that annoying kid. Reprogramming the daggit to a vicious killing machine should do it.

Pfft. I'm missing a s (ways)... sue me!
BSG is average at best, my grammar errors can't change that.

I still don't understand you. :p
Razor was awesome, Did any of you notice that Pegasus was actually very small compared to some of the Battlestars in the shipyard?

If you look closely, you'll see every type of Battlestar we've seen to date. You've got the Mercury-class Pegasus, a Valkyrie-class or two, and even a unique class that i've been told was actually adapted from one of the original concepts for the TNS Galactica. Unfortunately it would seem that not even the wizards behind Galactica's CGI are immune to scaling problems:

See the topmost Battlestar? Sure looks like a Galactica-class, right? Wrong. Galactica-style Battlestars has been shown to be smaller than Peggy, but look at the size of it compared to the Pegasus. That thing's massive!
-
That's the one I was talking about. What is the Valkyrie? I've never seen it on the show.

It was on episode "Hero". See also http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Valkyrie
