Gotta love those wily scribes at Battlestar Galactica. The fourth and final (sniff!) season of the acclaimed Sci Fi series doesn't yet have a set air date—a rep says look for it early next year (more on that in a bit)—so for an appetizer, the show's cooked up Razor, a two-hour flashback episode airing Nov. 24. (An extended-cut DVD hits shelves Dec. 4.)
The story is ostensibly about the first mission of the (now-lost) Battlestar Pegasus under the command of Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber), which falls roughly in the latter half of the second season. It's told, though, through the eyes of new character Kendra Shaw (Stephanie Jacobsen). ''Lee promotes [her] to be his [second-in-command],'' explains show-runner Ronald D. Moore, ''and you wonder, who is this woman?'' That question, says Moore, allows the show to explore ''a lot of things that we've talked about or alluded to but never actually seen. You start flashing all the way back to before the Cylon attack on the colonies, to who she was, how she came to the Pegasus, what happened to them, and what was their story before they met up with Galactica.''
The Pegasus backstory means that yes, the hard-bitten, uncompromising Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) will be returning, much to the delight of the writers. ''Everyone sat up [in the writers room] and said, 'Yeah! Let's do something with Pegasus and Admiral Cain,''' reports Moore, ''because everyone missed her.'' And we'll get to see just how Cylon agent Gina (Tricia Helfer), a ''Six'' model, went from posing as a systems analyst to the beaten, raped, and tortured prisoner in the Pegasus brig eventually responsible for axing Adm. Cain.
But Razor isn't just confined within the Pegasus bulkheads. ''Along the way,'' says Moore, ''we also do things like flash back to the original Cylon wars 40 years ago. We see a young [William] Adama [who will be played by a younger actor, not Edward James Olmos] fighting in a Viper. We move around quite a bit in the chronology of the series.'' Although that chronology won't include any sort of resolution to the season 3 cliffhanger, Moore does guarantee that ''there are some things that happen in Razor that set up things in the fourth season.''
Yeah, about that fourth season: ''It's very big,'' promises Moore. ''We're moving very strongly into the finale of the show. It's about getting to Earth, and what does Earth mean, and what is it, and where is it.'' Along with previously announced guest star Lucy Lawless (who'll pop up again for a few episodes as messianic Cylon D'Anna Biers), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine alum Nana Visitor will appear in an episode as a cancer patient undergoing treatment with President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell). Oh, and Moore says that, yes, he does know who the final unknown Cylon is; yes, whoever is playing that character knows he or she has been anointed; but no, they haven't shot the reveal yet (it will most likely be in the second half of the season).
Just when we get to see that half, however, is still very much up in the air. When asked about recent reports that Battlestar's final episodes may not air until 2009, Moore is noncommittal. ''That's a possibility,'' he concedes. ''No decisions have been made in terms of airdates and how many episodes they're going to run. There's a lot of factors, everything from there are other series they're going to have on the air [to] a possibility of a writers strike and how that affects programming. It's a complicated equation and there's no answer to that yet.''

 You like other people to depend on you... In fact, you don't feel right unless you are helping someone out. Underneath it all, you feel the burden of everyone's problems. Without your guidance, you fear that many people's worlds would fall apart. You like to feel in charge, even if it brings you a lot of stress. |

So much has happened this week, I really don't know where to begin.
In all honesty, this is the first real post since Egon got back in town. Props to my brotha from another motha-land. We've been hangin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool when my mom called, about a week or two ago I think, and tells me that there might be a place to live opening up in Winter Park, FL. For those of you who don't know, that's where Full Sail is. If the guy decides I'm ok, and wants me to move in, barring acceptance, I could be going to Film School as early as May 30. YIKES!
The guy, Alex, is the son of one of the teachers in the school district with my mom. He's been going there for a year and is working now as a P.A. to an actress who's film is being shot in the Full Sail Lot. Pretty cool stuff when you think about it. I've talked to him once, and he seems pretty cool, so I'd feel really lucky if I could stay at his place. It's a two story town house one mile from the school. Pretty sweet.
This new development really kicked me in the ass. For those of you temporally challanged, that leaves me with three months...
Three months...thirteen weeks...ninty one days...2184 hours...131040 minutes...7862400 seconds...
Translation...not enough time.
On top of this sudden development, I had to go to court for that accident I had on 12/30/06.
I was really kinda worried. The time on my court document said 19:00 AM. WTF? For those temporally-challenged losers still reading after the breakdown five lines above, that's 7:00 PM AM. Yeah.
Egon took me and we arrived early, but still, I was nervous as hell. I don't have a lot of money, and this offence was a Class B Misdemeanor, which in MO is punishable with a fine up to $300 and possibly 30 days in jail. Because I was early, I got to sit through some of the most boringly sorrid courtcases about Child Custody and Child Support to never make it to the big screen. After watching as the last offender was cuffed and taken away, we were ushered into the hall to wait with everyone else as the baliff took his prisoner across the street.
When we were ushered back in nearly thirty minutes later, we were seated around some of the craziest denizens of St. Joe I had ever seen. It was like living in a Tim Burton movie, w/o Johnny Depp. People were pissed, people were angry, people were downright rude as the talked with the judge, and then it hit me. I'm going to have to stand up there and talk to the judge, in front of all the crazies and the two inmates that were brought in in cuffs and seated opposite us "good" citizens, and tell him about my accident. AAAAHHHH!!!!
"Joseph Myers?"
I stood, Egon gave me a look of mute support. I approached the stand, my hands were antzy, my step-weak. I got up the the stand and he looked down at me from his high chair.
"You a student Mr. Myers?"
"uh. yeah." (That's exactly how I said it, no caps.)
"Why don't you tell me what happened."
Water...brakes...new brakes...water...sliding...left backend, right front end...did I mention water?
"What are you studying up there?"
"broadcasting"
"Oh yeah? What's your focus?"
"film" (This cannot gest more weird...and I feel like I'm being made fun of by all the crazies)
"Ah...You watch the Oscars?"
"uh...yeah..." (WTF?)
"What did you think?"
"uh...I didn't agree..." (Fucking Departed)
"I missed it, I was too busy watching Battlestar Galactica."
At this point, if you were to go listen to the tapes of my case you would hear the dead silence that escaped my lips, followed immediately by the escapee: weird snigger. It's there, go listen. Immediately it was followed with a sheepish, yeah.
I ended up getting out of the ticket, no permenant record and no fines. I only had to pay the court costs. w00t.
And that's the most of it, terror of the future. I live with my own sort of terrorist code, but at least I know that I have friends in high places. Friends like Judge Adama.
I know, I know, "Another post about Season 4?" Well, nothing's in stone yet. There is a definate rumor that Season 4 will be the last. The fact that as of yet there is no official word from the network as to it's being picked up at all, has lead to many rumors, the above mentioned is probably the most reliable.
For the moment, should season 4 be picked up, it would involve the film, and then thirteen episodes that start airing in January '08.
In order to be effective truth must penetrate like an arrow - and that is likely to hurt. 'Posthumous Pieces' by Wei Wu Wei...
Producers are still considering a two-hour Battlestar Galactica DVD film, to be released directly to video. Series producers Ron Moore and David Eick now say that the film, if greenlit, would be in the form of a "bonus episode" that will bring back a popular character. Although the script has not yet been written (or so they say) the plotline of the DVD will reportedly not interrupt the continuity of the current storyline nor will it resolve the expected third season cliffhanger; it will, however, probably use the existing sets.
Since the season premiere last fall, Battlestar Galactica's ratings have continued to slip. Will the move to Sunday nights in the middle of its third season be enough to save it? Well, yes; Sci-Fi Channel publicist Lana Kim says that although officially BSG has not officially been picked up for a fourth season, there is no chance that it will be cancelled. SciFi vice president Dave Howe also says he would be "shocked" if BSG were not picked up for another season.
The announced spinoff, Caprica, has also not been picked up officially yet; some speculate that the DVD may somehow introduce a backstory for the previously announced spinoff mythology, although Moore and Eick seem to be vaguely indicating that this is not the case. SciFi's Howe says that Caprica's fate will be decided in February along with other shows currently in development.
If the Battlestar Galactica DVD movie does go forward, filming will take place during the series hiatus in March, prior to the June start of fourth-season shooting. The movie will likely also air on SciFi at some point.
