We’re pretty excited about this one:

–

SCI FI Channel announced an all-new “Battlestar Galactica” special event, set to air in 2009 following the conclusion of the series and then released on DVD by Universal Studios Home Entertainment shortly thereafter. Directed by series star Edward James Olmos and written by “Battlestar Galactica’s” Jane Espenson, the two-hour event will begin shooting in Vancouver at the end of this summer. The cast includes Michael Trucco, Aaron Douglas and Dean Stockwell, with more to be announced in the coming weeks.

Starting before the events of the miniseries, our story focuses on familiar characters including Cylon Number One, known as Cavil (Stockwell), Resistance Leader Sam T. Anders (Trucco) and Chief Galen Tyrol (Douglas). In the beginning, the Cylons had a plan, but it didn’t account for one thing: survivors. During the chaotic aftermath of the destruction, two powerful Cylon agents struggle with plots and priorities on the human ships that got away, and among the resistance fighters who were left behind.

We don’t know about you guys, but Aaron Douglas looks pretty damn different than he did in 2003… but everyone else could pull off a prequel pretty easily. And having Eddie direct it is perfect… we’ll have to ask him about in this month at FanExpo Toronto!

Thanks to Pavlov’s Dog for posting it in the comments yesterday!

We got completely blindsided yesterday with a preview of what the Graystone and Adams families have in-store for BSG fans… and it looks like a serious departure from the military drama we’re all used to, but the moral and ethical dilemmas abound! We’ll be doing a mini “Capricast” on the teaser to give you our thoughts, but in the meantime have your say right here!

P.S. Pardon the terribly stretched image, it’s all we could find on YouTube….

A very special episode of BSGast where we examine the single biggest mind-frak Ron has yet to unleash on us: Earth. When is it? What’s happened? Is it really earth? Was that the Brooklyn Bridge? Why is Baltar so awesome? Matt and Nat give a shot at all those questions, and then some to help spark even more debate on what the hell is going on!?

This is what we signed up for: we’ve been cliffhung like no other show on TV can do… in fact, cliffhung in a way Ron Moore has never done before, Revelations is going to make the next 6 months go by REALLY slowly!

We announce the winner of the Ozma-7 Headphones AND tell you what’s in store as the Grand Prize for our giveaway in the back half of Season 4!

Hungry for more BSGcast? Don’t you worry, we’ve got something very special in store for you next week!

UPDATE: To allay some of our crying, it looks like the back-10 of Season 4 might be more like the back 11… or 12… or 13: Check out the article at the Chicago Tribune

For this week’s BSGcast, we find ourselves in Houston, Texas, away from the usual studio and bringing you a special BSGcast from the comfort of the hotel room as we chat about how “the Hub” managed to make the lines between Human and Cylon even more blurred. After a week of fretting over the fate of Baltar and Roslin, we’re getting to see the flip-side of last week’s episode… the battle of the Resurrection Hub was glorious, but the character beats in “The Hub” were definitely the highlight. Both of us were in tears for the last scene.
What about you? Leave your comments for the second last chance at the Alienware Ozma-7 headphones!

Without which not indeed, Ron…. after skipping a Friday for Memorial Day, we are treated to a VERY contravercial episode. We’ve heard someone say it came close to Woman King as his least favourite episode. Ouch. Matt loved it, Nat not so much, but what about you?

We have to wait TWO WEEKS to find out what happens after “JUMP!”? Whose idea was Memorial Day anyway? What the hell Ron… that was amazing. Gaeta, Baltar, Roslin, Natalie, Athena… a lot of plots are all happening at once in one place in this cliffhanger. What did YOU think of “Guess What’s Coming to Dinner”?? Let us know, for a chance to win some Alienware goodies… like those $200 Ozma7 Headphones in just 2 more BSGcasts!

Starbuck’s and Leoben’s plots coming to head at last! Matt + Nat had a lot to say about this one… and with all the Hybrid’s prattle, we might have a few new theories to bandy about. Harbinger of Death takes on a whole new meaning for us, and it’s looking like the Hybrid and Baltar seem to be on the same page with their prophesy!

An intense episode to say the least, but what about the visual effects? Where’d that Raptor come from? Laura Roslin in a bald cap and a cancer-stricken Bajoran? What did YOU think of “Faith”?? Let us know, for a chance to win some sweet Alienware goodies… like those $200 Ozma7 Headphones in just 3 more BSGcasts!

More Starbuck the crazy captain hunting her while whale… and this time she catches a Leoben just before her crew decides to Mutiny. A lot happens in this episode, but did it keep your attention? Did it give you your BSG fix? Matt and Nat enjoyed some parts more than others… what about you? Let us know!
