That’s right. The episode appropriately entitled “Revelations” is on 10 tonight on Sci Fi - or, RIGHT NOW on scifi.com, where it’s playing every hour starting at the top of the hour until 1 p.m.

I’m watching right now - more thoughts to come soon. But as far as what I’ve seen so far: Holy crap.

10 p.m., Sci Fi! And I’ve already seen it!

Spoilerish discussion after the cut! And possibly even more exclamation points!

Battlestar Galactica, a soap? And in the same league as “The Young and the Restless” and “All My Children”? Some fans would probably be dismayed to see that, but when I saw that at Target last night, I mostly thought it was sort of…odd. Not necessarily a show I would think to be on that publication’s radar, but good for them. And all the Lee/Kara/Anders/Dualla stuff was rather soap opera-y.

Fourth and final season premiere Friday. It’s getting close!

The cast of “Battlestar Galactica” delivered the top 10 list on Letterman last night - that would probably be weird enough by itself, but the fact that everyone was introduced by character name and were in costume pushed it over the top. It was rather absurdly great in that regard, even if some of the gags fell flat - and the awkward delivery of James Callis (Gaius Baltar) was odd (perhaps he was trying to be in character, obviously Baltar is often quite confused by his surroundings).

The video is here, I’ll add an embeddable one if I can find it later.

The fourth and final season of “Battlestar Galactica” finally has an air date, according to TVGuide.com - 10 p.m. Friday, April 4 on Sci Fi, preceded by two weeks of “Lost”-esque catchup specials in the same time slot. Yes, 10 p.m. Daylight Savings Time will have begun again (March 9, if you’re counting) at that point and we’ll blissfully be getting cable shows at the proper time again. Yes, Friday. It got moved back to Sunday about halfway through the third season, but if memory serves, the ratings took a little bit of a hit, so it’s back on Friday. Like you had something better to do anyway. And yes, April 4 is more than a year since the last new episode aired (March 25, 2007), making it an extremely taxing 53 weeks for us fans. Especially given how season three ended. The season premiere coincides (kind of) with the long-awaited DVD release of season three, coming out March 18, so if you’re a wait-for-the-DVD kind of person, you should have enough time to get caught up if you’re industrious (the fact that the episodes are no longer on iTunes means that there hasn’t been any legal way to watch season three in a rather long while).

Indeed waiting for the DVD? Beware of spoilers and gushing after the jump! (more…)

Just TEN DAYS after premiering on Sci Fi, “Battlestar Galactica: Razor” is on DVD today. The home release promises to be both “unrated” and “extended,” though anyone viewing it hoping for some revealing Ensign Ro bits will surely be sorely disappointed.

It actually seems like a pretty worthwhile purchase - the main feature clocking in at 16 minutes longer than the broadcast version, with the adventures of li’l Adama apparently doubling in duration. And Ronald D. Moore commentaries are usually pretty good.

In further “BSG” news, apparently Jamie Bamber is getting into the strike spirit in a distressingly creepy manner by allowing producers to offer his worn towels in support of the pro-WGA Pencils2MediaMoguls campaign. Naturally, it’s brought out nothing but the best in humanity:

It’s actually rather disorienting since it’s made me realize that unlike the fans of lots of other nerdy shows (of which I am clearly one), “Battlestar” folks haven’t really had to face any kind of adversity - it’s been a good success nestled in the comforting bosom of the Sci Fi Channel. There’s been no need for things like mailing candy bars of nuts to studio execs. But now there is a cause, so the lunatic fringe (again, which I am certainly not removed from) can finally let their fraking freak flags fly. Fantastic.
