New character in "Battlestar Galactica" season 4 premiere (http://www.filmjerk.com/news/article.php?id_new=509)

May 6th, 2007

"Battlestar Galactica" returns in season four with a two-part episode entitled "Razor," and with it, comes a new female character.


For this episode only, we are introduced to Kendra Taggert, a Major from the now-destroyed Pegasus, who lost it when the war with the Cylons started, and is somewhat unhinged now. Her mother was a Quorum delegate who had to call in a few favors to get her aboard the Pegasus, with the expectation Kendra would command the fleet eventually. Another chick in her late 20’s, Kendra should fit in with the other female leads on “Galactica” now, not to mention the fact that she could relate to Lee Adama, given their similar circumstances.

The last season of “Galactica” drew some criticism from fans and critics alike for its unbalanced portrayal of its normally strong female characters. President Roslin’s cancer has relapsed and she had little to do during Gaius Baltar’s trial; Starbuck went more nuts and died only to return in the final moments of the season; and Roslin’s assistant, Tory, who has had nothing to do after rigging the presidential election during season 2, was revealed as a Cylon. With this new addition, are we being set up for more of the same? The Amazonian Cylon women also seemed shortchanged last season. I wouldn’t mind a little more asskicking.

We can also expect a few flashback scenes with a 20-something Admiral Adama, back when he was a rookie fighter pilot.

The two-part season premiere starts filming next week.

Battlestar Galactica Season Four Premiere Details Emerge (http://www.buddytv.com/articles/battlestar-galactica/battlestar-galactica-season-fo-6253.aspx)


SciFi channel’s critical wunderkind Battlestar Galactica begins filming its fourth season this week and already some information has leaked from the set as to what to expect from the two hour January premiere. Amongst other things, Battlestar Gallactica will be adding new characters, and flashing back to reveal more about the past of Admiral Adama.

The new character is named Kendra Taggert, a shell-shocked former Pegasus officer described as ‘loopy’. Taggert is apparently a silver spoon child, getting her post a rank through her mother’s governmental connections. Taggert apparently developed her PTSD like affliction during the first Cylon attack, and has most certainly not recovered.

There is a possibility we will meet Taggert in the Pegasus direct to DVD movie to be released in the fall, prior to the premiere of Galactica Season Four. That would be an interesting move since as of right now the impression is that there will be minimal connective tissue between the Pegasus movie and the Galactica series.

On other spoiler related matters, it looks like we will be going way back to see Admiral Adama in his twenties, during his heyday as a hot shot viper pilot. Can’t give you much information on what baring that has on the events of the premiere, but is it possible the old man is going to suit up and take on some raiders? With where Battlestar Galactica left off last season, it looks like they could use every able-bodied pilot they can put together.

Battlestar Galactica returns in January for a run of 22 new episodes. Initially the series was only picked up for half a season, a mistake the SciFi channel quickly corrected when fans expressed some anxiety over the limitations of an 11 episode arc.

There is another rumor developing that Battlestar’s producers have been working out an end game for the series which would play out should the series get a fifth season, which would also qualify the series for a full syndication package.

I'll post it here -- since it also is a bit of a spoiler.

Season 4 will be the final season of BSG.

Breaking News: EDWARD JAMES OLMOS SAYS THIS IS THE LAST SEASON FOR 'BATTLESTAR GALACTICA'
The man behind Adama gives us hints of what to expect and tells about the 2 hour movie as well

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By SEAN ELLIOTT, Senior Editor

LOCATION: Saturn Awards

THE SKINNY: iF MAGAZINE was on the red carpet covering the Saturn Awards at the Universal Hilton this evening and talked to several interesting people from all walks of Sci Fi, Fantasy, and Horror. One of the most interesting things was our conversation with Edward James Olmos, Admiral Adama, from the SCI FI Channel series BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. Olmos told iF that this is the final season for the show and what fans can expect to see in the two-hour movie filling the gap between seasons three and four.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


iF MAGAZINE: What’s coming up for season four?

EDWARD JAMES OLMOS: It’s fantastic. I think they’re going to discover some very important issues about what the fan base really, really wants to see and what’s to understand about this show. We’re heading into the final season. This is the final season as we speak. All of us are very saddened by that, but we always knew there was going to be a conclusion and we would find Earth, so we will be finding Earth this season. I wish it would [keep going]. I could do 10 years like this season. I think that this is some of finest usages of television that I have been a part of in my life. Bar none. I’ve been doing this for 42 years. I’ve done some really good work in television and motion pictures but there really is nothing like this show. I can honestly tell you that this is one of the finest dramatic pieces work on humanity I’ve ever seen in my life.

iF: Are you wrapped on the series then, yourself?

OLMOS: No, I was just getting started. [Laughs] You’ll see, this year we’ll eat them up and spit them out and they’re going to wish they would’ve gone on for 10 years.

iF: So anything special we can expect for the new season?

OLMOS: You can expect lots of energy. The closer we get to the discovery and the understanding of what this show is really about, the more intense it’s going to get and the more difficult it is to watch.

iF: What can you tell us about the 2 hour movie in between seasons?

OLMOS: My involvement is minimal; it’s more of a situation about what happened to the Pegasus prior to getting to us. It’s a very powerful piece of work. The writing is…these kids are doing very well! Ron Moore, I don’t think he’ll ever have this opportunity again.

iF: Will Adama and Roslin heat up for this final season then?

OLMOS: Probably! [Laughs] We’re heating it up. We’ve been pretty intimate without getting intimate. It’s heating towards that. My instincts are that it’s going to do a tremendous about face.

iF: How did you react to the resurrection of Starbuck?

OLMOS: That’s interesting. I’d like to know what that means myself, because we thought she was gone. We were all led to believe that. We weren’t even around when they filmed that shot. We saw it at the end like everybody else. The best part of working with a really understanding group of people so they kept it.

Flight of Battlestar Continues

(http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?id=41457)



Battlestar Galactica's search for Earth continues to be an open-ended adventure, executive producer David Eick said.

Contrary to comments by Edward James Olmos (Adm. Adama) at the Saturn Awards on May10, no end has been announced for the award-winning show. Battlestar Galactica is preparing to film its fourth season, one that will include 22 episodes, rather than the previously announced 13.

"For those of you who have been paying attention over the years, this is not the first time Eddie has made an announcement about the possibility of the show's end," chuckled Eick. "I promise you that when [executiuve producer] Ron [Moore] and I make a decision about Galactica's future, we'll let you know."

'Battlestar' burns out next year
Sci Fi Channel drama will end run after fourth season
By JOSEF ADALIANLow-rated but critically worshipped Sci Fi Channel drama "Battlestar Galactica" will sign off next year after its fourth season, producers said Thursday.
Move isn't a stunner. Rumors about the show's fate have been swirling for months, and the skein had to fight to get renewed for a fourth season.

Despite some of the best reviews for any show on TV -- and a fiercely loyal fan base -- "Battlestar" is a very expensive show to produce, especially for a cable net. Sci Fi has tried to turn that buzz into bigger ratings, but the show never seemed to break out beyond a core niche.

Sci Fi stuck by the skein, however, because of its status as a signature program for the net.

Exec producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick issued a joint statement saying it was their decision to end the series.

"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and, finally, an end," producers said. "Over the course of the last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward that end, and we've decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude the show on our own terms."

Producers promised to end the show "with a bang."

Sci Fi exec VP of original programming Mark Stern said the cabler respected Eick and Moore's call.

"We have always known that Ron and David had a plan for 'Galactica,'" he said.

"Battlestar" will begin its fourth season with a two-hour episode in November. It will then return in early 2008 to finish out its 22-episode run.

Cabler hasn't yet said if it plans to move forward with a proposed "Battlestar" prequel series.

For his part, Eick remains busy. He's exec producing NBC's buzzworthy "Bionic Woman" remake and has a slew of other projects in development.

'Battlestar's' Fourth Season Will Be Its Last
Space opera will go out with a 'bang'
June 1, 2007



On Friday, June 1, "Battlestar Galactica's" executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick announced that the fourth season of Sci Fi Channel's Peabody Award-winning show will be its final season. The 22-episode season is currently being shot in Vancouver.

"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and finally, an end. Over the course of the last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward that end and we've decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude the show on our own terms," say Eick and Moore in a statement. "On a personal level, it's been a creative privilege and an honor for all of us who work on the show and we know we'll be lucky to ever see its like again. And while we know our fans will be saddened to know the end is coming, they should brace themselves for a wild ride getting there -– we're going out with a bang."

Mark Stern, Executive Vice President of Original Programming at Sci Fi, adds, "We respect the producers' decision to end the series and are proud to have been the home of this groundbreaking show. We have always known that Ron and David had a plan for 'Galactica' and trust that fans can look forward to a truly amazing final season."

The latest season began with the Cylon occupation of New Caprica and ended with Baltar's (James Callis) trial and the unveiling of new Cylons.

A special two-hour extended event, titled "Razor" will premiere in November, setting the stage for the remainder of the season that will start in early 2008.

'Galactica' Producers Discuss the End
Ron Moore, David Eick say it feels like right time

By Rick Porter

The official announcement didn't come until Friday, but "Battlestar Galactica's" executive producers had an idea that the show was nearing its end point several months ago.

"I think it was somewhere around the midpoint of [last] season, when we were working on the story where we'd gotten to the algae planet and discovered the temple" devoted to the final five Cylons, executive producer Ron Moore told reporters Friday. The discovery of the temple led to Cylon D'Anna Biers (Lucy Lawless) catching a glimpse of the final five, and that in turn triggered a beacon that pointed the way to Earth for the human fleet.

"And by the end of the season, we had taken that moment and moved it to the revelation of four of the five Cylons, and one of our characters had actually been to Earth and seen it," Moore notes. "But that was sort of the moment where we started to feel like, if we don't start to pay this off and don't really reveal those secrets and move in that direction, we'd get to a place where it would feel like we're jerking [around] the audience."

Not wanting to do that, and feeling like they could wrap things up in one last batch of episodes, Moore and fellow executive producer David Eick told the Sci Fi Channel that they wanted to bring the Peabody Award-winning, critically hailed "Battlestar Galactica" to a close.

"This is a decision that took some time to arrive at, and like all decisions this large, there were a number of questions we had internally and a creative agenda we wanted to serve. I think we all had to collectively decide when we wanted to be definitive about it. That time is now," Eick says.

The network wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of giving up its most buzzworthy show, but Moore says once he and Eick made their case, Sci Fi didn't stand in their way either.

"They didn't really fight with us," Moore says. "They expressed concern that the show might be able to go on longer and wanted to make sure we weren't passing up opportunities to continue telling stories, but they were very accommodating. When David and I were very clear that this was what we really, definitively wanted to do, they supported us."

In addition to the 22-episode fourth season, which will begin early next year, "Battlestar" will also air a two-hour event titled "Razor" in the fall. The project grew out of a proposal to release a couple of original episodes direct to DVD, but Eick and Moore thought they wouldn't be able to pick up the main storyline in that format.

Instead, they say, "Razor" will skip back a little in time to delve into the story of the Pegasus, another Battlestar that played a role in the show's second season. "Some of the events of the Pegasus' back story during the original Cylon attack are dramatized, and some after the death of Adm. Cain [Michelle Forbes] while Pegasus is still in the fleet are covered," Moore says.

The episode will also set up some of the events of season four, the producers say, though it won't officially be considered part of the season.

Eick and Moore also promise that while they may not tie up "every single thing about every relationship" by series' end, they won't leave fans hanging as to whether the fleet reaches Earth.

"The end of season three showed a glimpse of Earth; you actually saw it. And you will see more of it," Moore says. "We're going to get to a place that we're going to call Earth by the end of the series."

Lucy Lawless May Return To BSG Lineup (http://www.syfyportal.com/news423720.html)


Number Three might be cooling her heels in a Cylon box somewhere, but that doesn't necessarily mean that fans have seen the last of the fleet's faux reporter.

In a conference call with reporters on Friday, executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick revealed that initial plans are underway to possibly bring back actress Lucy Lawless to "Battlestar Galactica," following her successful recurring stint last season.

"It's possible," said Moore, who was talking to reporters about the end of the SciFi Channel series after the upcoming fourth season. "It's in the planning stages. It's one of the things

Q&A with producers and cast at a special screening of season 3 finale

http://tv.ign.com/articles/795/795076p1.html


When it comes to Season 4, Moore said there were "two chapters to go," which seemed to hint that the show will once again be split into two fairly distinct halves, as it has the last two years. Moore stressed, "We're going to go to Earth, whatever Earth is," though he wouldn't elaborate on what the characters will find on the planet we call home.

Asked what she'd like to occur in the final season, McDonnell replied, "I'm hoping to stay alive to the end!", which Eick immediately responded to with, "Well, that's unfortunate!" McDonnell laughed and said that in that case, "I'd like Roslin to start drinking," with Sackhoff suggesting she could "meet Starbuck in a bar." McDonnell said she did "think the issue of Laura's purpose will be explored pretty deeply" in Season 4.

Moore and Eick answered a fan who said they were disappointed that there wasn't as much interplay between Baltar and "Head Six" in Season 3 - the version of Six only Baltar sees - and Moore said that occurred when Eick rightfully pointed out that most of the scenes with Head Six were becoming redundant. However, Moore promised that they'd "found new stuff" for Head Six in Season 4.

.....



Lawless was asked if she'd be back in Season 4, and smiled as she referred to "very intense negotiations" going on, but it was hard to tell if she was completely joking, or might actually be discussing coming back - Moore and Eick have already said they have a storyline in mind for her. Eick then added that when it came to money, "We'll add a zero Lucy! We'll add a zero, fine!"

Asked by a fan if there could be a follow-up of some sort for the series, after Season 4, Moore said he felt it was essential to offer a conclusion "to the story we began in the miniseries." He said that didn't shut the door to stories set in the same universe, including the potential prequel series Caprica, but that in no way did he want the show to end with a "wink" and the idea that "there might be one more thing to tell you!"

Another fan asked about Bulldog, the pilot played by Carl Lumbly, and where he is in the Fleet, having never been seen since his single appearance. Moore said, "There's a technical term in the writers room; it's called a mistake," and admitted that sometimes, for whatever reason, plot threads and characters are discarded. Mentioning the teenage boy not seen since season 1, Moore joked, "Boxey is a male prostitute."




Asked about this fall's Battlestar TV Movie, "Razor", Moore confirmed that "most of the main cast" would appear in the project, which he said would "also be released on DVD almost immediately." Moore said the project went "almost backwards in time", and took place primarily during the second season, right after Lee was made Commander of the Battlestar Pegasus, and also earlier on, as the Pegasus, under the command of Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) reacts to the Cylon attack that took place during the miniseries. Moore said key story elements include a new officer who comes onboard Pegasus before the Cylon attack, and Lee's first mission in charge of Pegasus.

When an audience member asked why the show, which is very ethnically diverse, has no gay characters, Moore replied that it had been discussed in the writers room, but that, "To be honest, it's a failure of the show." However, Bamber then said, "Wait a minute, there's a bit in 'Razor'!", and Moore nodded, saying that was correct.

As the evening was drawing to a close, the cast were asked what roles they'd love to play next. Bamber replied, "Ah, f**k it, Hamlet!" When no one else spoke up, he said, "Come on! I put my balls on the table!", causing Lawless to reply, "And what fine balls they are!"

Sackhoff remarked that she was looking forward to working with Eick again, on the upcoming Bionic Woman, in which she plays a villain. Olmos then added, "I'm playing the Bionic Woman… incognito." McDonnell then said, "I want to play a Latina in space! I've learned so much from Eddie!"

The panel then all thanked the fans for their support, ending with Eick saying "it really sucks to end," adding that he and Moore had to struggle with their feelings as artists that it was the right time to finish Battlestar Galactica, and the fact that they would miss the show so much. But Eick promised this: "Season 4 is going to kick almighty ass!"

Finally, the night ended with a nice surprise for the audience: Actual new, never before seen footage from the show, in the form of a trailer for "Razor." It was very compelling stuff, highlighted by Cain's cold vow that "War is our imperative. Revenge. Payback"; Lee seeking his own XO for Pegasus; and the Number Six named Gina being found out as a Cylon. The final line was in fact Gina's, as she smiled and said, "Trust me, in the end, we're all just human."

However, Bamber then said, "Wait a minute, there's a bit in 'Razor'!", and Moore nodded, saying that was correct.


Ugh...

I could really care less, but my issue with this is too often it adds nothing to the plot other than to say to the audience: "see, there are gay people here too...wheee!" All I can say is that if isn't integral to the story, then I don't care to explore anyone's sexuality, be it hetero, non hetero, or somehow involving farm animals.

[drabauer]

Well it certainly sounds like it will add to the creep value of the already horrifying rape scenes with Gina.

Adm. Cain's Secrets From The Grave (http://www.syfyportal.com/news423777.html)

SPOILERS: Some details from 'Battlestar Galactica' telemovie revealed

By MICHAEL HINMAN
Source: SyFy Portal
Jun-18-2007

The following story contains MODERATE SPOILERS for the upcoming "Battlestar Galactica" telemovie "Razor."
Every bad situation has a silver lining if one looks hard enough, and even though some great characters introduced in the second mid-season finale of "Battlestar Galactica" would find early graves, the art of flashback will bring the Battlestar Pegasus back to life again in SciFi Channel's November telemovie on the series.

Keeping anything a secret on the set of "Battlestar Galactica" has been impossible, and "Razor" has been no exception with it almost common knowledge that the telemovie will focus on the Cylon attacks from the Pegasus perspective, along with recreations of some of the events that took place on the embattled ship only talked about before.

"Razor," however, won't just be a typical flashback episode, sources tell SyFy Portal. It will bring together fans of both the original 1970s series and the 2003 remake like no episode has before, and it will feature revelations that will make jaws drop and instill fear on what might come in Season 4.

Michelle Forbes -- introduced to genre fans as the Bajoran Ensign Ro in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" -- will reprise her role as the iron-balled admiral in the telemovie, proving to viewers that her sunny disposition wasn't exactly the result of the Cylons annihilating nearly all of the human race. Cain is fighting some demons of her own, one of the biggest ones stretching back to the original Cylon War 40 years before where she watched her parents executed by the 1970s versions of the living machines, and being forced to make the impossible decision of leaving her little sister behind in an effort to save herself.

But the biggest skeleton in Cain's closet will finally come out, so to speak. Remember the disgust Cain had for Gina (Tricia Helfer), the Number Six Cylon prisoner she was holding on Pegasus by the time the military vessel met up with the Galactica? Well, things weren't always that bad between the two ladies. In fact, before her exposure as a Cylon, things were much, much, much, much different.

"Cain and Gina were quite close," a source tells SyFy Portal. "In fact, they were lovers. We don't exactly come out and say it, but you'd have to be sleeping through the middle of all this to not pick up on their relationship."

Some viewers who had been pushing for some sort of homosexual representation on "Battlestar Galactica" should finally get their wishes answered with this revelation, especially since many viewers speculated that Cain might be a lesbian previously. And it won't exactly be the first time "Battlestar Galactica" has delved into same-sex relationships, as it was implied that the love triangle between Six, Baltar (James Callis) and Number Three (Lucy Lawless) also involved love between Six and Three as well.

"We've gone out of our way to make sure that it wasn't thrown in there just to throw it in there," the source said. "The love between the two sets up a [dramatic] device of betrayal, and what scorned love can create in the heat of the moment. Finding out your lover is really the enemy might not be new, but this should be a fresh perspective."

As previously reported on SyFy Portal, rumors were out that the original Cylon models from the 1970s ABC series would make a cameo appearance in the telemovie, but another source says that's just not true. The inclusion of the original models is full on, and they will likely get more screen time than the new versions first introduced in the 2003 miniseries.

"They are going to have the same voice, the same sparkle, the same type of ships, everything," the source said. "You're going to see them in the beginning where we feature scenes from the height of the original Cylon War, but members of our ragtag fleet will have the opportunity for a face-to-face or two with them as well."

Unlike the Cylons from the original series, these units will be created using computer imagery much like the mechanical units shown in the new series. But it's unlikely that little else will be different about the Cylons, which should give fans a much-needed dose of nostalgia as "Battlestar Galactica" gears up for its fourth and final season in 2008.

The telemovie will air in November on SciFi Channel, and be released on DVD soon after. Depending on how successful this direct-to-DVD project is, NBC Universal could find a future in "Battlestar Galactica" in this medium in the future.

Please note that these source reports have not been confirmed by NBC Universal or the powers that be behind "Battlestar Galactica," and should be treated as any rumors would.

[drabauer]

Of all the spoilers I read, scifi, that was the only one not confirmed by a second source, so I would consider it a rumor at this point. ANd rather than confirm cylonicity, it would presume that she was resurrected by another party, as she was nowhere near a resurrection ship.

Episode descriptions from scifi.com:

404 - Conflict and mistrust torment humans and Cylons alike, as both sides struggle to understand their respective mythologies — one rooted on Earth, the other in the mysteries of the Final Five.

405 -With Kara Thrace piloting a lone freighter in her desperate search for Earth, political intrigue and marital discord aboard the Galactica are paralleled by deep rifts in the Cylons' solidarity.

406- Religious freedom is debated and defended as the messianic Gaius Baltar promotes his belief in one true God.

407 - The prospect of a truce between humanity and the Cylons encourages Starbuck to trust an old enemy.

408 -The cancer-stricken President Laura Roslin and hotheaded pilot Kara Thrace both must make difficult leaps of faith in order to accept an uneasy alliance with the Cylons.

409 - President Roslin's leadership is tested as the Galactica teams up with Cylon rebels in a plot to destroy the enemyÕs vital Resurrection Hub.

410 President Roslin's abduction by the Cylon Hybrid triggers a bitter power struggle within the Colonial fleet.

411 -In pursuit of the enemy's Resurrection Hub, a misfit team of Viper pilots and Cylon rebels become uneasy collaborators as they formulate a battle plan.

412 - A band of rebel Cylons holds President Roslin hostage while attempting to lure the Final Five out of hiding inside the Galactica and the human fleet.

413-Starbuck learns that the dire predictions of the Cylon Hybrid might be true, and a devastating discovery plunges the fleet into chaos and despair.

Doubt it. The Viper appeared to explode so there would be only unrecognizable bits and pieces floating around in outer space. If it was still intact, why not send her copy or clone or whatever back to Galactica in it instead of manufacturing a shiny new viper with not a scratch on it to arouse suspicion?
