| Just the DVDs - the series was shown in the US a few weeks before the UK (or at least I think so - the first episode was shown on October 6th if someone knows the UK dates). And the only reason I know that for sure was because it was shown in Canada the next day, and we had to tape it because we they inconveniently showed it on the day we got married :) |

| Battlestar's End Is In Sight Ronald D. Moore, co-executive producer of SCI FI Channel's original series Battlestar Galactica, told SCI FI Wire that knowing in advance that the show's upcoming fourth season would be its last greatly affected how the writing staff went about closing out the show. "It informed everything," Moore said in an interview at the network's upfront presentation to advertisers in New York earlier this month. "We gathered with the writers before the season began and said, 'OK, this is the last year. We want to push to a resolution and let's talk about the end first.'" "We talked about what the end of the series would be, and we've talked about the end of the series several times since," Moore said. "We keep refining it, changing some ideas about it, changing some of the parameters and just kind of continually finding it." The recently ended writers' strike "stopped everything cold" after production had been completed on half of the final 20 episodes, Moore said. But it also provided an opportunity to assess the completed fourth-season episodes and take that into account as they prepared the final nine episodes, which will go into production in the coming weeks and air in 2009. "It gave us a chance to step back and say, 'Well, some of those things that we were going to do, maybe that's not the best way to go. Let's go back and change it again. Let's re-break some of the story,'" Moore said. "It gave us all a chance to really step back, take a breath and say, 'OK, is this really the way we want to do the last 10 or not?' And we changed some of those things on the fly." |

| Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon Tuesday 08 April 9:30pm - 10:00pm Sky One This breezy celeb-fan appreciation of the sci-fi sensation whets the appetite for the launch of the fourth and final series next week. The talking-heads roster, spearheaded by articulate Buffy creator Joss Whedon, isn't big or wide-ranging, but the observations on the show's strengths - characters, stories, effects, speeches - are amusing and right on the money. The programme is the crux of a mini-BG night begun by a series-three recap and concluded by Razor, the searing, between-seasons special. RT reviewer - Mark Braxton |
