"SCI FI Channel has reupped its series Battlestar Galactica for a fourth season and a minimum of 13 additional hours. Production will start up again this summer for a scheduled January 2008 launch. The series is produced by NBC Universal Television Studio."

I think the show has developed some serious pacing problems. They could have had an entire seasons worth of stuff on nu-caprica, but they decided to wrap that up in about 3 episodes. I also think some of the mediocrity of the last couple episodes has to do with them slamming on the brakes because theyve been doing way too much way too fast.

> They could have had an entire seasons worth of stuff on nu-caprica

That's what I've been saying!

what have they been doing besides running in place?

I guess running in place isnt criminal, but it could be more interesting is what Im trying to say.

i think we all agree on that point.

Not bad for only a grand.

Two grand now.

I'm about ready to give up on this show at this point. I think they had twelve episodes of story and twenty six slots to fill. The Verheiden stuff is especially bad; last night's episode was a worst example of the "character development" via torture. Beating up and/or spotlighting characters does not equal development; I don't know anything more about Chief and Cally's relationship than I did before and it didn't develop in any way... plus, it's not as if I really believed y'all were gonna kill them, so why should I give a damn about this story?

Meanwhile, a'la 'Lost', their have been so many major changes that go undiscussed for no reason. Say, don't you all have a Cylon in captivity? Remember last season, when that was good for six episodes and a near fleet riot? Why is it unremarakable now? For that matter, where did the fleet go? The only action these days is on Galactica.

Again: about ready to give up.

Yeah, I wish they'd do more with this storyline rather than Cally/Chief angst.

Damn. Season two was so good, as well. I haven't beeen downloading these since the tiem moved; don't think I'll bother now.

The first few episodes of the season were fantastic -- it's been kind of uneven since then, but it's not like it's not, like, Grey's Anatomy bad.

I'm patient and willing to see where they go. Remember that the end of the 2nd season had some "running in place"/character stuff. (the Black Market one, or the John Heard/chief engineer one)
