I don't know of any theatrical movie. The tv movie "Razor" appeared last November on Sci Fi though.

So , what happened to the "theatrical" movie that was planned to premiere before the "last" season of BSG
started...???

@jaxontyler97: I think the greatest stories are those that have a finite beginning, middle, and end. To me, the fact that BSG is ending soon makes the story much more poignant. Better to end now before it has the chance to jump the shark.

@ JAXONTYLER97: Ron Moore and David Eick couldn't get SciFi to guarantee 2 more seasons, so rather than run the risk of being Farscaped (planning 5 seasons and getting axed at the end of 4), they made 4 the end so the story would be finished.

Now. Call it blind faith, but I knew S4 would be finished per contract. I kinda suspected the back half would eb pushed back to 2009 because SciFi has been suspected of that all along, and the strike gives them a great excuse to do just that, to stretch out the show.

As for a strike by the SAG, I highly doubt it. After the DGA deal and the WGA strike, Hollywood will avoid a SAG strike, because unlike when the writer's struck, they can't keep filming without actors, and there's little point to keep writing when you don't know when you'll be able to film...

I hope it's done well. I've never found the writing reliable. The direction is consistent, and the look is, but not the story line. I hope there is more to this than some lame "We are a failed attempt to become human" Cylon story. The thought of a cybernetic being degrading itself by working in anything less than a perfectly controllable smart-matter body is insulting. Insulting to a lot of great sf writers than would like to see the science of the Cylons make some real social statements regarding transhuman rights issues.

Do they always salute with their left hands or is that just a flipped image?

Ive heard the same things too from some local folks in production: the final season is going to be awesome. I was so worried when I saw the preview that had drunken starbuck flailing around on the floor blubbering something about going to wrong way. I was so worried it was going to be season 3 all over again. But thank the Gods Starbuck sounds like she's much more of a peripheral character this season.

@Plague: Yes, that's right. We've reported that a bunch of times before... But the question was whether it would end at all.

I really wish they wouldn't stop at 4 seasons. To me, it just seems like the purest sci-fi series out there right now. Breaks my heart

I heard that they were going to split the season in half- so that the end run won't occur until 2009
