List of Battlestar Galactica (reimagined series) episodes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The reimagined Battlestar Galactica was initially unveiled as a science fiction miniseries which was first broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel on December 8, 2003. It spawned a regular television series which premiered on Sky One in the UK & Ireland on October 18, 2004 and on Sci Fi Channel in the U.S. on January 14, 2005. The miniseries and the first three seasons have been released on DVD in both the U.S. and UK. The miniseries and episodes are also available for download on Amazon Unbox in the United States.

This is a complete list of episodes for the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series, in continuity chronological order. All titles are provided by the studio; however, in keeping with current trends and policies, these titles are not mentioned on screen.

Throughout the series, President Laura Roslin has kept the refugee fleet's official Survivor Count written prominently on a small whiteboard in her office; the count was incorporated into the show's title sequence in the second season. The number is updated after every episode as soldiers and civilians die, refugees are discovered, and children born, with or without audience's witness. This count was not included in the first four episodes of the third season, but resumed with the episode "Collaborators".

[edit] Razor (TV Movie)

For more details on this topic, see Battlestar Galactica: Razor.

Razor was the first television film based on the 2003 reimagining of the Battlestar Galactica franchise. The movie was a part of the Season 4 episode order of 22 episodes, two of which were taken up by the movie despite being one continuous feature. Razor doesn't directly carry on from the events at the end of season three but, instead, is set sometime just before Lay Down Your Burdens detailing the sparsely known history of the Pegasus from after the Cylon attack. However, Razor was also intended to act as a backdrop for season four by seeding subtle insights of events yet to occur despite its apparent discontinuity between the preceding and successive seasons.

[edit] Webisodes: Razor Flashbacks

For more details on this topic, see Battlestar Galactica: Razor Flashbacks.

In 2007, starting in October and concluding in mid-November, SciFi Channel released a series of seven short "webisodes" (termed "featurettes" in their credits) called the Razor Flashbacks (the URL for each file suggests that either the real title or internal name may be Takeover), featuring a young Lt. William Adama (played by Nico Cortez) and original-series-style Cylons and Vipers near the end of the First Cylon War. The bulk of the vignette takes place in Adama's fighter pilot days, though it concludes with a scene from the first episode of the miniseries and series, in which Admiral Adama is reminiscing before the Galactica's soon-to-be-aborted decommissioning ceremony.

The webisodes were written by Michael Taylor and directed by Wayne Rose for the first two episodes and by Félix Alcalá for the last five. They were first made available directly from the official series homepage at SciFi.com/battlestar.[1] and are also on the Razor DVD. These webisodes are somewhat independent and are not simply excerpted from Razor, although Razor integrates approximately half of the webisode material directly.

[edit] Season 4

Season 4 will be the final season of Battlestar Galactica. According to SciFi Wire, the SciFi Channel ordered 22 episodes to be made for season four, an increase from 13 as originally announced. Production of the new season began May 2007 and premiered April 4, 2008.

Only the first eleven episodes of season four (excluding "Razor" which, although produced as the first two of 22 episodes, aired separately and is considered by the writers to be separate) were filmed before the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike halted production of all scripted TV shows. Although production has been completed on the final ten episodes, broadcasting will pause after Revelations (412) until the 2008/09 television season.

[edit] Future

As the second half of Season 4 was halted from production due to the writers' strike in America, the remainder of the season will air in 2009. To bridge the gap between episodes 10 and 11 (412 and 413) Moore has stated that there will be a third set of webisodes which will be similar in purpose to The Resistance which aired between Season 2 and 3.[5] In addition, there has been recent talk about producing up to 3 more Battlestar Galactica television movies which could be produced and air before (or possibly after) Season 4's remaining episodes are released. However, there is still a lot of uncertainty as to whether or not the current cast will be available.[6] Also, it is said that these movies, if produced, will not take place after the Season 4 series finale but instead focus on earlier untold events similar to how Razor went through the events of the Pegasus.

The miniseries was released in the UK on 1 March 2004 and in the U.S. and Canada on 28 December 2004, and included deleted scenes, audio commentary, and a behind-the-scenes documentary.

The first season was released to DVD on 28 March 2005 and 20 September 2005 in the UK and North America respectively and included deleted scenes. The American set also included featurettes, and a tongue-in-cheek promotional special filmed for the Sci Fi Channel in addition to the miniseries.

The second season was released in its entirety in a single volume in the UK and Australia, but issued in two separate volumes (dubbed "Season 2.0" and "Season 2.5") in the U.S. to correspond with the mid-season break in the broadcast schedule. Each U.S. volume contains half of the season, along with deleted scenes and podcasts that were previously available on the official website. "Season 2.5" also contains an extended version of "Pegasus", the last episode of the first half of the season. The Region 2 DVDs include the extended version of "Pegasus", as well as the commentaries and deleted scenes from the U.S. 2.0 release, but do not contain any of the commentaries and deleted scenes from the 2.5 release (other than the extended Pegasus episode), nor the original, shorter version of "Pegasus" included on the U.S. 2.0 release. The Canadian DVD release of Season 2.0 was delayed until 25 April 2006, as the episodes had only begun airing in January 2006.

The third season came out in R2 on 3 September 2007 and in R4 on 21 November 2007. R1 was set for a 25 March 2008 release date. The R2 & R4 DVDs do not contain any extras but R2's box set came with a 45 minute recap of the previous two seasons (consisting of clips of the seasons strung together with a voice-over).

[edit] HD DVD release

On August 14, 2007, Universal Studios Home Entertainment announced that the mini-series and Season One would be be released on December 4, 2007, in the North American market, on the now-defunct high definition disc format HD DVD.[11] The technical specifications include 1080p/VC-1 transfers of the mini-series and each episode is in 16:9 widescreen Aspect ratio, plus Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 surround audio options.[11]

[edit] Online availability

In January 2006, Apple began offering the miniseries, season one and season two episodes for purchase on the U.S. version of its iTunes Store. After a delay, season three episodes were also made available. NBC Universal, the producer and owner of the show, has provided a number of its shows for purchase the day after broadcast to U.S. customers.[12] As of early December 2007 all of the iTunes Battlestar Galactica episodes have been removed.

Shortly after being taken off the iTunes service Amazon's online video store "Unbox" started making them available for sale. All Season 1-4 episodes as well as the Mini Series and the TV Movie Razor are available for purchase in high quality Windows Media Format.

March 2008 NBC launched Hulu which includes the last 5 episodes of season 3 available for viewing online at no charge, but is only available inside the US. As of May, 2008, between two and three episodes of season 4 are available on Hulu as well as on the Sci Fi Rewind website, though they have not been the most recent episodes. Since May, the newest episodes are added one to two weeks after the original air date. When season 4 began, the newest episode was available the day after the original air date along with the previous four episodes. It is unknown why the SciFi channel has changed its online viewing policies.

As of May 6th, Battlestar Galactica can be downloaded through the Zune marketplace.
