The Most Shocking Moment In Battlestar Season 4

Charlie Jane Anders — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 08:40:23 PDT

The two latest trailers for the final season of humans-versus-robots show Battlestar Galatica only raise more questions. Who believes Starbuck's crazy story? Who will lead the humans to their destruction? And what does it mean to unite all the cylon models? We only have to wait a few weeks before some of these questions are answered.

13 Is A Lucky (Or Unlucky) Number For Lost

Savor every Lost episode while you can, because you'll only be getting 13 of them this season, at the most. "We will have to condense some stories," executive producer Carlton Cuse said. If that also means waiting for another long period of time for the next season to start, fans might rebel, fly to Hawaii, and make their own version of the show. Actually, that sounds good to us. Get to work, people. [Hollywood Reporter]

A Peek At The First New Lost Episode

It's t-minus six days until Lost comes back on the air. There will be a real, actual, honest-to-goodness scripted real show on next Thursday. Above is one minute and fifteen seconds from the new episode, and more below. All told, we've shaved six minutes off your viewing time next week. Suffice it to say there are some minor spoilers.

So, without the commercials you've still got about 75 minutes of Lost to watch next week, and rest assured they're probably saving the really good stuff for right before the second hour ends, all the better to make you turn in the following week. However, it's worth at least part of these six minutes to see Hurley continue to assert his newfound balls. Think he'll run over someone else with the van?

Desperate ABC Takes 'Lost' To The Silver Screen

ABC will be airing promos for Lost in theaters this December in front of all PG-rated and above rated movies. The promos will feature unseen footage from the upcoming fourth season of the show, and will add more ass-numbing commercials to sit through while you wait for the feature to begin.

Bad News: Battlestar Season 4 Features More Singing

News reports are still suggesting the Sci-Fi Channel may split Battlestar Galactica season four into two parts. Not only that, but it turns out there will be more singing, according to Executive Producer Mark Verheiden:

[R]ecently we saw the dailies on a scene that was especially heart-wrenching. In my patented "no spoiler" mode, I will not disclose any info, except to say the scene involves one of our main characters in a very bad place (what else is new?), who then sings, to themselves, an acapella lament to help ease their pain. I got chills (and no, I didn't write the episode!).

Why, gods of Kobol, why? We promise we'll never be mean to the Saggitarons again if you just stop the singing. Image by Mark Tran/FilmMagic
