Well, frak me.I've had a sinking feeling for a while now that Battlestar Galactica, scheduled to return in January 2008, would be pushed back. What with the whole no-official-launch-date song and dance from cabler Sci Fi.
Still, I had no idea that it would be pushed back quite as far as it has been.
That's right, folks. Other than the two-hour BSG prequel movie entitled "Razor" (slated to air on November 24th), you'll be waiting a long time to sate your need for a Battlestar fix; series' fourth season is now scheduled to blast off in April 2008, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Looks like we'll be waiting quite a while to find out just what the hell happened to Starbuck (if that really IS Kara Thrace) and just how much those four sleeper Cylons really do know about their mission.
Stay tuned.

I can only say: "FRAK OFF SCI-FI!!!"
Seriously your best show and you treat it's fans like this?!?!?!?
FUCK YOU SCI-FI! Guess what? Most of your shows suck. Stretching out BSG over the next 5 years isn't going to make me want to sample the rest of your garbage. Just put it on, I'll watch the final 20 eps, and then we can go our separate ways.
Without letting SciFi off the hook on this latest idiotic decision, I do have to wonder if the possible writers strike might be playing a role in the push back? I'm also holding out a sliver of hope that with a later launch date we could get all twenty episodes in 2008.
Remember, SciFi is the network that turns down movie treatments because they "want monsters they don't have to explain." (I'm thinking of the Ancestor script here.) Thus, we have such fare as Mansquito and Dinocroc. BSG was always too good for them.
On the other hand, the In Theater showing of Razor might at least be fun to see.
