No Battlestar Season 4 Until April
http://tv.ign.com/articles/830/830492p1.html
October 25, 2007 - The last new Battlestar Galactica episode aired in
March, and fans have been eagerly awaiting its return ever since. Next
month sees the airing of a special Galactica TV movie, Razor, and it has
been assumed that Season 4 would then debut around January 2009.
However, the LA Times now says we won't actually see Season 4 premiere
until April.
Today SCI FI Channel also announced that Battlestar's executive producer
Ron Moore will make his directorial debut on a Season 4 episode that he
has written. Said Moore, "I've thought about directing for a long time
and this season seemed like the time to finally take the plunge. It'll
be great to be working with the BSG family of cast and crew for my first
experience behind the camera, and I'm really looking forward to it."
A question still unanswered is whether Battlestar's fourth and final
season will all air in 2008 or if SCI FI Channel will hold the final
episodes until 2009. If that occurs, it is sure to be an unpopular move
with many fans, especially now that the season is premiering much later
than expected.
Moore tells the LA Times "I'd probably prefer to see the entire thing
air next year to maintain the momentum, to build excitement as it pushes
to the end, not to mention it means less chance of spoilers getting out."
Yesterday IGN participated in a conference call with Battlestar cast
member Jamie Bamber, who said he heard that holding the final episodes
until 2009 is still a possibility. Either way there will be a
traditional mid-season split, complete with cliffhanger, which the show
has done since Season 2. The question is whether that split will span a
few weeks or many months.
