And the last season of Babylon5 was actually somewhat bad because of that episode they already shot, because they had to replace a lot of actors its a bit hap-snap in the last season (currently re-watching it on DVD) because they already finished a lot at the end of season 4.

The last season sure was bad, but that wasn't the pre-shot final episode's fault. All the main plotlines were ended in season 4, and they really didn't have enough stuff to continue on season 5. But think if they had cancelled the series in the middle of the fifth season? How crappy solution would that have been.

The original ark was 5 seasons so that was not the problem, the problem was the very late approval of season 5 so JMS wanted to finish as much of the story arks as possible in season 4. Then when 'the powers that be' did approve season 5 there was a lot of reschuffling going on, including some 'fighting' and scheduling problems about who could return and why(not).

I'm a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica.  It's my 3rd favorite TV drama of alltime.  I just wanted to say that :)

From the nfo for Razor DVD:
Quote
The unrated and extended DVD runs 103 minutes, about
16 minutes longer than the Sci-Fi Channel broadcast.

Have to check that out, Amazon should ship me the DVD next week (including Season 1 in HD-DVD yay!)

I finally had it with people saying how good this series is so I found the mini-series the other day and gave it a try.  I was blown away.  Here's to Sexy Cylon Succubi and the men who love them. 

Now I have to get through three seasons and the Razor movie of show so I can catch up with the rest of you.

Thoroughly enjoyed Razor. Always nice to see new material, revelations and the grey areas that Galactica deals with. And I've always been fascinated with Admiral Kane's character and the acting with her and she doesn't disappoint here. It's one thing hearing about the acts she made, it's another actually seeing them. Some interesting info for Season 4 as well like:

*SPOILER*

Starbuck is 'the harbinger of doom for the human race'? :o

Only bad thing is that the wait for S4 is a little bit harder to take :(

i hope the writers strike ends soon so we can our full season of bsg already. it would suck for sci-fi to split the season into two years. as much as i dont wanna see bsg end, i do want to know what happens and having to wait for months and months midseason would suck. bsg is tv done right.

IGN has posted a lot of Season 4 promo pics

D’Anna Biers features in these a few times I see. Perhaps she makes some kind of return?
