afaik all we know is early 2009, so I'd estimate anytime before April.

As far as movies go, I know that 1 has been given the thumbs up, I heard they might be doing 3 altogether.

Battlestar Finale Will Answer All

Jamie Bamber, who plays Lee "Apollo" Adama in SCI FI Channel's original series Battlestar Galactica, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming final 10 episodes will wrap up all the outstanding questions and mysteries. Everything.

"Yeah, yeah, everything," Bamber said in an interview at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., over the weekend. "I can't really think of a really loose thread. ... Not off the top of my head. I'm sure there are a couple, but I can't think of one."

The final new episodes of the fourth and final season kick off early next year and will pick up the story (spoiler ahead!) from the shocking midseason finale, when the survivors of the ragtag fleet arrived on a burnt-out Earth.

"Every character has been tortured to death, basically, over the five years," Bamber said. "What you can expect is a really, really good ending. You know, a real ending. And it's all gearing to that, and I think the writers really took it upon themselves to be responsible for all the strange twists and story points and surprises and to try and resolve everything in a way that makes sense. And that's a big challenge when you're sort of story-making on the fly over five years. ... They've tied everything up. So that's what you can expect, is a satisfactory, very elegant conclusion."

The show recently wrapped production on the last episode. Bamber said that he was shocked when he got the final script. "[I was] blown away," he said. "It's the best thing I've ever read for TV. Yeah. I mean, I hope it translates, and it comes across, and it's not just us, because we're so involved. But I had tears in my eyes, and the thing is, [series creator] Ron [Moore] wrote it on his own, without really any collaboration, and it's sublime."

Bamber added: "And it's all character. Like, it really comes down to character in the end, rather than, I just said plot and it's all plot, but the plot is the characters." --Patrick Lee, News Editor

Final ten episodes may be extended
The Sci Fi Channel has revealed that each of the final 10 episodes of Battlestar Galactica may be extended should the show's bosses deem it necessary.

Speaking to Sci Fi Wire at the San Diego Comic-Con, executive producer David Eick stated: "We're constantly getting into the editing room with ten, 15, sometimes 20 minutes of material that you can't get into an episode.

"[And] the story has become so critical in order to realise the arc of the series that we can't just cut stuff out and save it for later or push it 'til next year... it's all got to be there."

Ahead of next year's broadcast of the last ever episodes, Eick said the crew was "able to convince the network to let us air... long episodes" and "take single episodes and make them double episodes... [and] double episodes and make them quadruple episodes".

Cool news that there might be longer episodes. It seems that if they are ging to tell the story, they are really, really, determined to get it right.
Well done to them.

I wish other makers including networks would copy their example.
