Last night I watched an early press preview copy of episode one of season four of “Battlestar Galactica.”
Because all members of the press who were fortunate enough to witness an early screening of this fabulous episode had to sign over our first born to SCI FI and Ron Moore, I’m not allowed to tell you anything about it until everyone can see it for themselves this Friday, April 4 on the SCI FI Channel. And, I wholeheartedly agree with that decision by the network because, like them, I believe everyone should be afforded the opportunity and pure joy of seeing this phenomenal episode un-spoiled for themselves. This is truly television, hell, entertainment of any kind, at its utmost best. You will never find anything before it as well written, directed and performed as this episode is.
So, with that in mind let me just say three words What the frak? Yeah, that about sums it up.
What I can actually tell you, without infringing on the good trust and faith that NBC Universal has placed in me in this:
As season four opens, the last remnant of humanity continues their search for a new home and the thin line that separates them from the rapidly evolving Cylons is being redrawn. Galactica’s crew, rocked by Starbuck’s sudden and mysterious return from the dead (as witnessed by that shocking season three finale) – and her claims that she’s been to Earth and can lead them there – attempts to make sense of the inexplicable. Meanwhile, the four members of the fleet are still reeling from the revelation that they are Cylons, and they have been all along.
“Battlestar Galactica: “He Believeth In Me” begins this Friday, April 4 at 10/9 C.
My sympathies, Sam. I can’t imagine what it must be like to have to keep this to yourself until Friday! You are the news reporter for SOSF for gossakes! The temptation to share all the news must be overwhelming!
So the only advice I have for you is, MOVE AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD! I repeat, MOVE AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD!
Just finished mainlining season three dvds, and I can’t wait to see the start of season four. You’re a lucky bastard, but when the show goes on mid-season break (which they shouldn’t at all) for however long, I feel better knowing you’ll be in the same boat as us.
Ahh yes Fred, the universe does have a way of balancing out things. 😉
Oh man, you’re so lucky =( I’m busy trying to track down a friend who has SciFi Channel to watch it on Friday.
