Just a short note about Caprica folks! There's loads of rumours going about
but the latest is that the spin-off will concern:
"Set 50 years before "BSG," "Caprica" follows two rival families -- the
Greystones and the Adamas -- as they grow, compete, and thrive in the
vibrant world of the 12 Colonies. Morales will portray the integrity-laden
yet ruthless Joseph Adama, the father of William Adama, the future admiral
of Battlestar Galactica."
There's also a brief casting spoiler. Paula Malcomson has been hired
to play a surgeon that works as a double agent! Esai Morales of Jericho fame
has also been hired for a yet unknown role.
Entertainment Weekly has a
great picture of
the actors, with hints about upcoming story. Also, Ron Moore said
in the print version that the last remaining Cylon sleeper is NOT in the
picture, so we figure that just leaves Tom Zarek, Doc Cottle, and Dualla.
Mini-Movie to be made:
7/4/2007: Starburst Magazine (issue 352) reported that A short movie
detailing the story of the survivors on board the Battlestar Pegasus would
be aired before the start of the Forth season. Eick tells Starburst that
it'll take place before the events of 'Pegasus' and 'resurrection ship',
detailing how the Pegasus survived after the destruction of the colonies. In
addition some scenes will take place after the Death of Admiral Cane. We're
told to look out for this November 2007 on the sci-fi channel. In addition
it'll start to be sold on DVD the day after it's initial airing. Head over
to:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=w6WkCt7TCQg to see a trailer but beware,
it's got lots of spoilers and could potentially give away the identity of
the fifth and final Cylon. More news on this when we get it!
Battlestar Galactica to end:
5/2/2007:
http://www.battlestargalactica.com/ reported that Battlestar Galactica
was entering it's final season. In a statement made to the press Ronald
Moore and David Eick (the creative force behind the show) said that the show
basically had to end for creative reasons and stated: "Over the course of
the last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward
that end, and we've decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude
the show on our own terms." It's not good news, but you know what? I'd
rather the show went out with a bang on good form than limping to the finish
line. Perhaps it's for the best.

end, you do need to give the audience some answers to some of these things.
Maybe not everything. There's probably some elements that we will leave
mysterious even after the show is over. But I think you have to at least
ground the audience in some reality for some of these things that have
happened. Even if the explanation is a supernatural one, you want to give

New character in "Battlestar Galactica" season 4 premiere
By CassyHavens
May 6th, 2007
"Battlestar Galactica" returns in season four with a two-part episode
entitled "Razor," and with it, comes a new female character.
For this episode only, we are introduced to Kendra Taggert, a Major from the
now-destroyed Pegasus, who lost it when the war with the Cylons started, and
is somewhat unhinged now. Her mother was a Quorum delegate who had to call
in a few favors to get her aboard the Pegasus, with the expectation Kendra
would command the fleet eventually. Another chick in her late 20’s, Kendra
should fit in with the other female leads on “Galactica” now, not to mention
the fact that she could relate to Lee Adama, given their similar
circumstances.
The last season of “Galactica” drew some criticism from fans and critics
alike for its unbalanced portrayal of its normally strong female characters.
President Roslin’s cancer has relapsed and she had little to do during Gaius
Baltar’s trial; Starbuck went more nuts and died only to return in the final
moments of the season; and Roslin’s assistant, Tory, who has had nothing to
do after rigging the presidential election during season 2, was revealed as
a Cylon. With this new addition, are we being set up for more of the same?
The Amazonian Cylon women also seemed shortchanged last season. I wouldn’t
mind a little more asskicking.
We can also expect a few flashback scenes with a 20-something Admiral Adama,
back when he was a rookie fighter pilot.
The two-part season premiere starts filming next week.

— Galactica Actual (offline)
— Gateworld: Battlestar Galactica
— Hangar Deck 5
— Ragnar Anchorage at Galactica Station
— Various publicity articles and cast/crew interviews.
Despite efforts to filter out unreliable content, this information can be

spoilers will be dated and wiill not be edited after the original posting in
an effort to establish a track record (good and bad), rather than
revisionist history. The webmaster's comments are found in the italicized
brackets.
General Spoilers:
11/8/06: Caprica has not yet been picked up. The 1-hour pilot has not yet
been greenlit by SciFi Channel, but the script is being reworked. Other
scripts are also already done.
11/4/06: Though the dominant religion of then of the 12 colonies is
polytheistic, Ron Moore says that there are monotheistic religions as well.
"Some of the things that are happening in 'Caprica' would deal with the
religious aspects, as well, and you'd start to see some of the beginnings of
the monotheism that eventually is taken over by the Cylons." Ron Moore from
an article from the Jewish Journal
11/1/06: Ronald Moore describes the series as a sci-fi soap opera, as
opposed to the more action-adventure nature of Battlestar Galactica.
11/1/06: The series is set fifty years prior to Battlestar Galactica. It is
centered on two families. One family owns the corporation that is
responsible for the development of the Cylons. The second is Adama's
father's family. Adama's father is a lawyer who grows to oppose the creation
of the Cylons.
General Spoilers:
11/21/06: At a con, Michael Trucco (Anders) announced that he had signed as
a regular. [This is likely referring to Season 4, but listed here until it
can be confirmed.]
11/21/06: The second half of the season moves to Sundays at 10pm
(Eastern)/9pm (Central) starting on January 21st. [Not Really a spoiler...]
11/21/06: The following characters appear in the season finale (unknown if
they might be appearing only in flashback): Adama, Roslin, Lee, Tigh,
Athena, Helo, Tyrol, Cally, Gaeta, Anders, Cottle, Racetrack and Seelix.
[Revised to hopefully eliminate some confusion and needless speculation.
This list comes from a particular day of shooting and as such can be used
only to confirm some characters' survival. Just because Kara and Baltar are
not listed does not mean that they have been killed off. More can be taken
from the fact that Tigh, Anders, Gaeta and Racetrack are still around.]
11/19/06: Baltar gets put on trial and Lee becomes "heavily involved" in the
trial.
10/20/06: The story arc in Episodes 10-12 result in Baltar and Hera's return
to the fleet.
10/13/06: It will be revealed that the humanoid Cylons are able to "project"
their environments for themselves and others. These "projections" are very
real. Think holodeck. Baltar also picks up the skill, which he's been sort
of been doing with his Inner Six all along. This ability adds to the
suspicion that Baltar himself might be a Cylon. Tricia Helfer interview in
Battlestar Magazine.
10/13/06: Baltar's Six and Caprica Three start out at odds. However, once
Baltar is brought to the basestar, his Six starts to doubt him. She wants
Caprica Three to torture him, which she does. Baltar's Six then comes in and
works him through it. These interactions lead to the three-way relationship.
Tricia Helfer interview in Battlestar Magazine.
10/13/06: The seven known models are supposedly wired to not talk about or
think about the remaining five unseen models.
10/12/06: Updates on survival of supporting cast: Kat makes it through at
least Ep. 309; Hot Dog, Cottle and Helo up to Ep. 313; Dee up to Ep. 314;
Anders and Tyrol up to Ep. 315;
10/11/06: Kara and Tigh develop some sort of relationship. [As opposed to
being odds with each as they have been since the miniseries.]
10/9/06: Tigh's eye was ripped out by a Five (Doral).
Episode 8: Unfinished Business; December 1, 2006
11/23/06: Shirtless in a field somewhere on New Caprica, Lee declares that
he loves Kara. Next [Following day?], Sam tells Lee that he and Kara are
getting married. Lee wishes him good luck and says he'll need it which is
greeted by a "lemon" face from Kara. From Previews [This preview looks and
its narration sounds like it's for an episode of Melrose Place. Just further
lessens my interest in the Lee/Kara "saga." which has been reduced to a high
school drama on more than one occasion.]
11/19/06: Apparently, the big rift between Lee and Kara was that after Kara
and Lee finally slept together, she got up the next morning and told him
that she was marrying Anders. This sent Lee on his eating binge and to
settle for marrying Dee.
Pics available at the site
Lee and Kara are hammering on each other pretty good
as Helo, Athena, Gaeta and Racetrack look on.
Former personal trainer Helo and his fat-losing "client" Lee box.
[My guess is that they're going to beat each other into a mutual
understanding
over their differing views on how to deal with the Cylon race.]
11/15/06: Adama schedules a boxing tournament on Galactica to let the crew
relieve tensions between the former settlers of New Caprica and those who
remained with the fleet during the Cylon occupation. TV Guide
11/7/06: Adama organizes a fighting tournament which turns into a method for
grudges and old scores to be settled, including between Lee and Kara. [This
explains how the flashbacks are framed in the episode. The episode is either
going to be really good or fall flat if the fight matches don't click with
the flashbacks.]
10/15/06: The present time storyline involves Fight Club-style boxing. [Bleh]
10/7/06: Baltar flashes back to a groundbreaking for a new City Hall on New
Caprica with Gaeta by his side. [Um, I hope there is more to this scene
other than filler.]
10/7/06: The cause of the deep rift between Lee and Kara (seen in Episode
220) will be revealed.
Episode 9: The Passage; December 8, 2006
11/18/06: Starvation threatens the Colonial fleet after the food-processing
machines become contaminated. D'Anna and Baltar explore metaphysical
matters. TV Guide
11/18/06: Selected Promo Pics from the episode
Baltar and his Six in that bed first seen in "Hero" (Ep 3.07).
[Guessing he's looking at Caprica Three,
who is further along her path to complete religious madness.]
10/21/06: The fleet's food supply becomes contaminated, which necessitates
the immediate need to find a planet. A less than ideal planet is found, but
reaching it proves difficult. [The planet has been referred to as Algae,
but...]
10/21/06: Caprica Three questions her faith and becomes a heretic.
10/3/06: A couple of characters die. [More of the expendable pilots is my
guess.]
10/3/06: Kat is featured in the episode.
10/3/06: Preliminary Episode Description: The fleet makes a "harrowing"
passage on their voyage. [The premise sounds like the plot of an original
series episode.]
Episode 10: The Eye of Jupiter; December 15, 2006
11/23/06: The Temple of Five is discovered on planet Algae, leading to a
standoff between the Cylons and the Colonials over the Eye of Jupiter. The
Cylons bring news about Sharon's baby. TV Guide
11/18/06: Selected Promo Pics from the episode
Anders and Barolay (Member of The Circle in "Collaborators")
are back along with Hilliard.
[Guessing Hilliard is another expendable Marine and that they are stuck on
Algae.]
Caprica Three and Baltar's Six along with other Cylons.
[Looks like Leoben and Brother Cavil are back for this one]
Dee and Sgt. Fischer likely were suprised by Cylons.
[Either that or their tryst got interrupted by Lee's call and Dee is trying
to explain... heh
Guessing Fischer is the top-dog expendable Marine for this episode.]
11/6/06: Tyrol finds the temple while surveying the planet. The temple is
supposed to house the Eye of Jupiter, a clue to finding Earth. He sends a
report back to Galactica. The Cylons intercept it and want a meeting with
Adama and Roslin. They want the Eye in exchange for safe passage for the
fleet. Adama says he'll nuke the planet if they try to take the eye. The
Cylons also inform Helo and Athena that Hera is not well. Along with Adama,
Helo and Athena plan a rescue attempt. Meanwhile, Caprica Three feels a
"special bond" with Baltar and a growing belief that her destiny may not
include the rest of the Cylons. [There's also supposedly some relationship
stuff involving Lee and Kara and its affect on Anders and Dee. Bleh]
10/21/06: The stranded survey party finds an abandoned temple that seems to
have a clue to the location of Earth. [Hope they explain how a temple with
such an important bit of information ends up on a desolate and hard-to-reach
planet.]
10/7/06: Anders appears, but don't know if it's only in flashback.
10/3/06: The fleet (Galactica) faces three basestars.
9/27/06: Preliminary Episode Synopsis: With supplies dwindling, Apollo,
Cally and Tyrol survey a desolate planet. They are stranded when the Cylons
attack the fleet.
9/6/06: Cliffhanger for mid-season hiatus
Episode 11: Rapture; January 21, 2007
10/21/06: Sharon and Helo get Hera back from the Cylons, possibly with
Adama's direct help. [Either in an active or passive way, Adama would likely
have to give his support to their plan because of his control of military
assets.]
10/12/06: Baltar returns to the fleet, which sets up one of the storylines
for the next episode, 312.
10/7/06: Hera is prominant to the episode.
9/27/06: Preliminary Episode Synopsis: Another clue in the search for Earth.
Number Three openly declares herself the Cylon God, which leads to the
termination of the entire Three series by the rest of the Cylons. [Guess
that's one way to take care of Lucy Lawless being unavailable/unwilling to
make subsequent appearances.]
9/6/06: Conclusion to mid-season cliffhanger
Episode 12: Taking a Break From All Your Worries; January 28, 2007
10/21/06: The [working]episode title is a reference to a line from the theme
song of Cheers, a long running sitcom set in a Boston bar.
10/18/06: Tyrol finds the bar, whose existance is apparently not widely
known.
10/18/06: Lee once again pines for Kara. [That might explain some of those
marital issues he and Dee are having.]
10/18/06: A Galactica officer attacks Baltar in the brig, stabbing him in
the neck with a pen. [Previews have shown Gaeta in the cell with Baltar, but
his culpability is speculation at this point.] As a result, Baltar has a
near-death experience in which his Inner Six tells him that he's human and
thus cannot be resurrected if he dies.
10/7/06: Baltar is in the brig and Roslin visits him. The scene mirrors
Baltar's visit to Roslin in Episode 301. Baltar later ends up nearly dying.
His Inner Six tells him that he's not a Cylon, but a human. Baltar flashes
back to discussions with Number Three concerning the hybrid and the five
unknown humanoid models. He was there watching the Three model be terminated
and he asked her if he was a Cylon.
10/7/06: Apparently, spending time in the bar helps Dee and Lee "reconnect."
10/3/06: Dee and Lee are still married, but having very public marital
problems. [Guess not only is Dee still around, but she and Lee are still
together.]
10/3/06: Tigh takes a stand to keep a bar from being closed.
9/27/06: Preliminary Episode Synopsis: Baltar is recaptured and ends up in
the brig. He is now suspected of being a Cylon and he's not sure that they
are wrong.
Episode 13: The Woman King; February 4, 2007
10/21/06: Doctor Robert's medical facility might actually be located on the
lower decks of Galactica.
10/12/06: When Helo attempts to move a heavily sedated Hot Dog from Doctor
Robert's care, Doctor Robert intervenes by ordering Marines in. Just then
Tigh and Cottle arrive, and to Robert's surprise Tigh turns on him. Cottle
admits to Helo that he finally did the an autopsy on Willie and found that
he died of acute apoptosis, while Buckminster was suffocated. Dr. Robert
says that he had only six months to live and he was saving medicine for
those who could really use it. Cottle says that they had anemia. Robert then
goes on a rant against Saggitarons and blames the genetic condition on their
attitude. [Remember, Zarek is a Saggitaron and they have long been looked
down upon by the other colonies.] Robert says that he was going to save Hot
Dog because he was a pilot and unlike most Sagittarons, willing to defend
humanity.
10/12/06: Doctor Robert and Tigh know each and are on friendly terms. Doctor
Robert commands Marines, which would seem to indicate that he's in the
military structure. Whether or not he's still XO of Galactica, Tigh appears
to still be part of the military command since he gives orders to the
Marines and Helo.
10/12/06: Dr. Robert had to suture a wound of some kind that Hera had.
9/27/06: Guest cast listed as: Sykes/Burrell, Willie, Portia King, Doctor
Robert, Buckminster, Buckminster's Father, Scorpion.
9/27/06: Preliminary Episode Synopsis: Medical care in the fleet is dismal
with shortages of medical supplies and practioners. After one such death, a
mother is suspicious of the autoposy results. Helo investigates a particular
ship's doctor, who seems to discriminate in his treatment of fellow
Saggitarons. Helo's daughter Hera ends up under the doctor's care. Hot Dog
also comes under the doctor's care. When Helo learns that he isn't doing
well, he attempts to have him transferred to Doctor Cottle's care, but the
doctor and guards stop him.
Episode 14: A Day in the Life; February 11, 2007
10/11/06: Adama and Caroline split after he received his first command. Lee
indicates that she turned on him and Zak after that. Adama seems surprised,
but Lee points out that Caroline was already pregnant with him when she and
Adama got married. [This implies that they may not have married out of love
and that she might have blamed Lee's conception for the unhappy marriage.]
10/11/06: Adama has several introspective sequences where he and his
remembered version of Caroline discuss their marriage.
10/11/06: Private Jaffee looks to be little more than a walk-on part and not
a pivotal guest character.
10/7/06: Flashbacks include what Lee's life was like after Papadama left.
10/3/06: Adama's reminiscing is triggered by the 29th anniversary of his
marrying Caroline.
9/30/06: Caroline is Adama's ex-wife. Presumably, she's seen in flashback.
9/27/06: Guest cast listed as: Private Jaffee, Caroline
Episode 15: Dirty Hands; February 18, 2007
10/17/06: With the confusion over episode numbering, it can be hard to sort
out what spoilers go with what episode. That said, it is now possible that
this episode is the one that has a significant death (rather than the
Kara-centric Maelstrom), especially in light of the episode title.
10/17/06: There are nine named guest characters for the episode. [Which
tells us almost nothing.]
Episode 16: Maelstrom; February 25, 2007
11/21/06: The following characters appear in the season finale (unknown if
they might be appearing only in flashback): Adama, Roslin, Lee, Tigh,
Athena, Helo, Tyrol, Cally, Gaeta, Anders, Cottle, Racetrack and Seelix.
[Revised to hopefully eliminate some confusion and needless speculation.
This list comes from a particular day of shooting and as such can be used
only to confirm some characters' survival. Just because Kara and Baltar are
not listed does not mean that they have been killed off. Rather this list
thins the supects for the "major death."]
11/19/06: In an interview with TV Guide, Katee Sackhoff said that we'd find
out that she was a Cylon and see how she died. [Her comment was likely a
joke as the interview was light-hearted, at least the Cylon part. The "major
death" probably happens at the same time that Kara's Viper is damaged in a
scene not yet leaked. Kat? Hot Dog?]
10/17/06: Updated the episode number.
10/13/06: Lee talks to his father just after the admiral has dressed down
Kara. [The tone of the conversation seems to imply that Lee and Adama are on
decent terms and Lee and Kara are back on speaking terms, at least.]
10/13/06: Adama states that he had to relieve Tigh of his position at some
point previously.
10/13/06: Anders and Kara still carry on with each other, but he appears to
be staying elsewhere in the fleet and their relationship seems to be more
casual as opposed to married.
10/13/06: Kara and Anders talk about her mother, who was a Marine and
abusive to Kara.
10/13/06: Ten years ago (eight years before the attacks) Kara had left home
pledging never to join the military. Four years later when she returned to
visit her mother, she had not only ended up in the military, but was an
officer. Her mother was aware of her career, both the achievements and the
troubles with discipline. Her mother (like Leoben) believed that Kara was
special. They end up arguing before Socrata admits that she has cancer and
is dying. Kara left anyway and never came back in spite of her mother's
efforts to contact her again.
10/13/06: Kara has a dream where she is at her mother's bedside as she dies.
Kara then realizes that the Leoben in her dream isn't really Leoben, but he
talks just as metaphysically as the real Leoben as he states that now that
she's seen death, she's free to fulfill her "destiny."
10/13/06: Kara apparently experiences these memories and dreams as the
atmosphere vents from a crack in her cockpit canopy. She hears a
transmission from Lee in his Viper and turns on her transponder.
10/11/06: Episode title added.
10/11/06: Another "Oracle" appears in this episode.
10/11/06: Kara's mother died of cancer about four years before the Cylon
attack. One of the flashbacks shows that Kara rejected her mother's efforts
to "reach out" to her in their last meeting.
10/7/06: Preliminary Episode Synopsis: Kara is on a mission and ends up
unconscious. She has flashbacks in which her mother, Socrata, and Leoben
appear. Lee is out in a Viper looking for her when she finally sends a
distress signal so he can locate her. She and Anders are separated, but get
together occasionally for some "no strings attached action." Kara uses
Leoben posters for small arms target practice.
10/5/06: There is supposedly a "significant" death.
Episode 17: The Son Also Rises; March 4, 2007
11/5/06: According to David Eick, part 1 of a three-part season finale.
10/28/06: Features guest characters: Fallbrook, Hughes and Romo Lampkin
[Likely subject to change]
Episode 18: Crossroads, Part 1; March 11, 2007
11/21/06: The following characters appear in the season finale (unknown if
they might be appearing only in flashback): Adama, Roslin, Lee, Tigh,
Athena, Helo, Tyrol, Cally, Gaeta, Anders, Cottle, Racetrack and Seelix.
[Revised to hopefully eliminate some confusion and needless speculation.
This list comes from a particular day of shooting and as such can be used
only to confirm some characters' survival. Just because Kara and Baltar are
not listed does not mean that they have been killed off. More can be taken
from the fact that Tigh, Anders, Gaeta and Racetrack are still around.]
11/6/06: Features guest characters: Edie Cassidy and Reporters.
11/6/06: Added Episode Title
11/5/06: According to David Eick, part 2 of a three-part season finale.
Episode 19: Crossroads, Part 2; March 18, 2007
11/6/06: Added Episode Title
11/5/06: According to David Eick, part 3 of a three-part season finale.
Episode 20: ; Spring 2007
11/6/06: Looks like there is no Episode 20, so "Season 3.0" has ten epsiodes
(11 hours) and "Season 3.5" has nine episodes (9 hours).
11/5/06: Thanks to all the production renumbering of episodes it's up for
debate if the three part season finale actually starts with 317 and ends
with 319 since 301 (Occupation/Precipice) was actually two episodes.
