Battlestar Galactica begins its 4th (and regrettably, final) season on Friday, April 4th at 10PM on the Sci-Fi channel. This was a decision made by the producers, who wanted to culminate the story while the show was still good.
If perchance you remember the '70's show of the same name, and think it's the same thing, think again. The only resemblance to the old show is the title, and the names of some of the characters.
This time, instead of being cheesy sci-fi, the show was totally reimagined as a drama in a science fiction setting, with Oscar-caliber actors (Edward James Olmos, 1988 Best Actor nominee for Stand and Deliver, and Mary McDonnell, 1990 Best Supporting Actress nom, Dances With Wolves, and 1992 Best Actress nom, Passion Fish) in the leading roles, and a uniformly excellent supporting cast. Seasons 1-3 are now on DVD, and, as I understand it, Sci-Fi channel is planning a marathon leading up to the seaon 4 premiere. Check this show out - you won't regret it.
