nBSG fourth season delayed until april

Post by AK_Jedi »

Fuckers!!!

This seriously has to be a new record in making people wait a long fucking time for new episodes.
LA times wrote:Battlestar Galactica' news: The show will premiere in early April, Ron Moore will direct an episode

Battlestar3 Ronald D. Moore, the executive producer who runs "Battlestar Galactica," is gearing up for the long goodbye by taking on a new task. He will step into the director’s chair for the first time next season as his dramatic reinvention of the hokey 1970s’ space opera treks toward the end. The final 20-episode run will kick off in — you read it here first — early April.

Moore’s work on the show as a writer-producer landed "Battlestar" its first Emmy nomination in the drama writing category, where he faced off against the writers of "The Sopranos" and "Lost." A veteran of the "Star Trek" series "The Next Generation," "Deep Space Nine" and "Voyager," Moore is also juggling writing duties for the upcoming feature films "The Thing" and the sequel to "I, Robot."

About his directing debut, Moore said, "It’s the perfect opportunity to try and do it here with my family — the cast and crew of the show — who have been working together for years now.

Or Futurama fans. Though that's not quite the same thing.

And as for that fifth “chosen” Cylon? “It’s definitely been decided who that one is,” Moore said, but it won’t be revealed early. “I can’t say when, but we’re certainly not waiting until the last episode to tell you who it is.”
I thought it was obvious from Season 3's final episode: Starbuck.
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.

Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.

They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

Well as Crazedwraith said with Furturama, that's not really the same thing, since both of those shows were officially canceled and then brought back due to DVD sales.

Doctor Who, on the other hand, was never officially cancelled. It was just put on hiatus for 16 years.

Any chance some foreign channel (SkyOne for instance) will pick it up beforehand? They've done this before for Atlantis. Fuck, I'm going to be dealing with the last set of finals around that time (although I'll have all but graduated).

There a reason for this?

I mean, beyond Sci-Fi Channel continuing to prove how retarded they are?

WTF ???? !

NO !

The first one was bad enough for fuck sake nevermind getting even more of this doomsday robot crap. Especially when this movie is a joke compared to the actual book and barely had any similarity to what Asimov wrote.

Watching another hour and a half of a Will Smith wannabe asshole with their cheapshit promotions is a nightmare.
