» Boomer's A What?!: "The Plan" SPOILERS ONLY Options

[TWoP Bayliss]

If you're watching the UK airings at some point before the show airs on SciFi in the US, treat the episode threads just like the Nooner Club:

If you're watching the episodes before they air in the US, don't take over the Spoiler thread. We'll be opening the episode thread early, with "(UK)" in the airdate space. When the episode airs in the US, that date will replace it and the thread will be pinned.

If you're watching the shows on the US schedule, but are looking for episode spoilers, don't ask your UK-pace questions here -- go to the episode thread and read the discussion there.

A video clip on the Space website which seems to include S4 behind-the-scenes footage. Lee's on Colonial One giving a speech of some kind, with Roslin behind him. Zuh? BSG stuff begins about 5 minutes into the clip.

Sci-Fi Wire is reporting that "SCI FI Channel announced that Lucy Lawless will return to Battlestar Galactica for a minimum of two episodes of the show' s upcoming fourth and final season, currently in production in Vancouver. Lawless will reprise her role as D' Anna, the religious zealot who was deemed defective."

From Eonline coverage on BSG in SDCC

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

RAZOR

* The Razor film airs Nov. 24 and features the Original Cylon War, the Pegasus under fire during the initial Cylon attack on the 12 Colonies, a new character named Kendra Shaw, and the original Centurions and Raiders from the '70s series.
* Battlestar Galactica show runner Ronald D. Moore: There will be a series of two-minute promos, pieces of the movie that were cut from the original long version of Razor so it would fit it into the on-air time slot. You will see these mini-sodes of Razor, then you will see a feature-length version on the air, and then the DVD has it all together in one extended-edition movie.
* Razor does not address the cliffhanger; the cliffhanger is resolved in the first episode of season four, which airs in January 2008.

THREE

* Lucy Lawless will be returning to play Cylon model Three, aka D'Anna Biers. She says, "Oh, yes, I'm coming back...to cause some trouble." She’ll appear in two or three eps, beginning around ep 10.
* Moore on the return of Three: “Why is Lucy back? …There are a lot of people interested in unboxing D’Anna because she knows things. There’s a long plot leading up to that. It’s a pivot point for the season, and after that, things change and drive us toward the finale.” Lawless: “She’s coming back to participate in someone's plan. Can you keep her vicious? What I loved about her was she was the grit in everybody’s eye."
* Mary McDonnell and Lucy Lawless will have a scene together.

SIX

* Which of the characters has the most surprising destiny? Moore: "Baltar and Six have an interesting journey."
* If you read hairstyles like spoiler tea leaves, you should know Tricia Helfer is sporting Gina hair, not Six hair.
* Tricia Helfer: “Baltar’s getting a lot of action this season and not with me.”

OLD, NEW AND HYBRID CYLONICITY

* Someone in the front row of the ballroom has a sign that says "I'm the last Cylon." Moore says: "Oh, that makes things so much easier."
* The last Cylon is not revealed until the latter half of season.
* According to Tricia, “We're doing some of the 'Cylon parties' stuff right now." The beginning of the season is a lot about the inner turmoil of the new Cylons.
* And per Katee, "Michael Hogan is still in denial [about Tigh]. He will not admit he's a Cylon. As he's an actor, he's really pissed off."
* Moore: "We're going to learn, over the course of the season, who, what, where and when they got all those [new Cylon] people into positions of power."
*

Moore: Baby Hera has a role, she's always been sort of specific in the mythology, but with Nicky we go back and forth on what we're going to do...

KARA THRACE AND HER SPECIAL DESTINY...

* Katee re Starbuck: "She has a mission that she believes in 100 percent. She always questions herself, and this is a time where she knows she's capable. She's just as hotheaded and as crazy as ever, but she's…heightened."

From Ausiello:

Question: Weeds? Damages? Greek? Side of Life? Army Wives? Dr. Who? Battlestar Galactica? Psych? Monk? Burn Notice? Mad Men? Entourage? Closer? My Boys? Got anything on any of these? You would be my savior!— Sharon

Ausiello: Wow, lots to choose from there. Let's go with BSG. As Syfyportal.com already reported, three humanoid Cylon models will be completely wiped out next season. Well, I just found out (Spoiler alert) which ones are getting retired, and I can tell you they all have one thing in common: their gender. And here's another tasty morsel: the name of the 13th Colony in the Colonial Scriptures? "Cylon."

I bring delicious spoilery bits from the latest Battlestar Galactica convention in the UK (G3)... We had Tahmoh (who flew in the Friday afternoon), Alessandro, Rekha and Leah Cairns (Racetrack) as guests (they were supremely awesome, but this is not the place for that!), and we got a few bits from them...

1) Alessandro said he's got to explore his working relationship with Tahmoh a lot more this season, because their characters have split off "into a splinter group thats forming"...

2) Leah said that they were very recently filming a scene with all the military peeps in their proper, formal attire (which she'd never worn before)... coupled with the constant cries of "the body counts keep rising, y'all!", we were thinking funeral.

3) Alessandro also said that Gaeta will "have an affinity with Tiny Tim (from A Christmas Carol) this season" - which to me smells like a crippling... He's also not had the chance, as of 4x10, to work onscreen with James Callis.

4) Tahmoh informed us that they've recast the little girl that plays Hera for the new season. He's also had the opportunity to work a lot more with Mary McDonnell this season, as well as having a large role in the midseason two-parter...

5) Both Michael Trucco and Callum Keith Rennie were scheduled to attend (Tahmoh and Alessando were their replacements), but had to pull out due to last-minute filming issues. The crew were wrapping up 4x10, before a 6-week hiatus for the writers to hammer out the final episodes, so we can assume both Anders and Leoben are sticking around AT LEAST until then.

If anything comes back to me I'll keep you updated...

McPaddy, I am dying to know; is it true that Tahmoh Penikett sang "Eye of the Tiger"?

[Ally00]

There are some wonderful photoes up at www.flickr.com taken by a couple who
got to go behind the scenes on the the set, as BSG led to them meeting.
Quite a few big spoilers, the head count is down to 21,709!
There's Starbuck (with tattoos just like before), Anders, Gaeta, Athena, Seelix and Hotdog all in casual uniform looking like they've been filming together.
The picture isn't very clear but it looks like Starbuck might have a little damage to her hand. ( a result of her treatment as a 'cylon' maybe?)

[noindiecred]

The pictures Ally00 speaks of are here. Note that of all the pilots (and Gaeta!) wearing their olive drabs in these photos, only Racetrack is carrying her sidearm. Because she's that hardcore.

Haha, thanks for the link. But that's Seelix with the sidearm, not Racetrack.

[noindiecred]

Mea culpa. But still.

[jo86]

I noticed these weren't posted here yet but there's some photos up of Tricia and Trucco apparently rehearsing scenes together on her blog.

[NicoleAnell]

Thanks for the link! The blog also refers to Barolay (Anders' redheaded resistance friend) being in the scene with them, and you can see a bit of fake blood/bruises on her face.

[taura]

Alas the pics noindiecred linked to now lead to a "Page Not Found". Sad.

[PhatShady]

Alyssa in Singapore: Anything on the frakkin' awesome Battlestar Galactica?

We caught up with show runner Ronald D. Moore at the Creative Arts Emmys and he told us, "At the moment we're on a shooting hiatus. When we come back we'll be on episode six." (If you don't count "Razor" as two.) "And Katee's off doing Bionic Woman right now, so I hope she's well rested by the time we get back. And it's senior-year mode up there in Vancouver. Everyone gets misty-eyed, awww…It's the last third day of prep on episode four." As for future storylines, we asked about Adama/Roslin. Is there any hope? "Yes! There is hope for Adama and Roslin, and you'll see a lot of that relationship this year."
