Frakking April??? NOOOOOOOO!:eek:
April !!?? Holy Craaaaap !
Thanks Sci-Fi, just bend me over a little more…
FRAK!
Frakie McFrak Frak.

(I think it’s out of my system now, no wait)
FRAK!
I think this calls for a “Motherfrakker!”
I wonder if it’s in anticipation of the writer’s strike, or just SciFi’s usual stupidity.
And they haven’t decided about a hiatus - there will be some sort of break mid season, but for all we know it could be a 6 month break or more.
The article also confirms Ron Moore is going to direct one of the episodes.
I guess we won’t have any issue getting the rewatch done…
Ok, I’m dissapointed, sigh. But look at it this way, maybe they just need the extra time to get the story right. I’d rather have them take the extra time and write a killer ending than crank something out fast that sucks. Besides, January thru March go kinda quick. I just hope those frakkers don’t try to stretch it to 2009. I mean come on, I’m a loyal fan but my loyalty is getting stretched pretty thin.
wtf
:mad:
OK, I calmed down a little and did some analysis (OK, I looked at a calender)
A mid-April start (after Easter) means that by going 10-12 episodes they will conclude by mid-late June. A 6 month hiatus after that would have the series finishing in 2009 (in accordance with the book of Pithia…er, the Dragoncon panel).
The bad news keeps on comin…
Six is going to be wearing support hose and Sharon is going to be a frakkin grandmother by the time this thing plays out !!
Groans
Heck, we could probably fit ANOTHER re-watch in before Season 4 starts…
Speaking of, what are our intrepid GWCers going to do between the end of the re-watch and the beginning of Season 4?
On a less related note, at least from the LA Times article, it sounds like interesting things will be afoot when we do finally get to see new episodes.
April — arg — I was so looking forward to a January start – huge bummer.
Well I don’t think it was RDM and Eicks idea - in fact I think they would rather have the season show in Jan…Since most of the first half is shot and the second half it at least broken down (at a writers retreat) and supposedly (barring any fallout from the potential writers strike) they will be done filming in March 08…so I don’t think it was for story reasons.
Sounds like a good possibility - especially since Tamoh and Katee pretty much confirmed that the split is possible at the Chicago Creation Con event.
They are remaking the Thing? why the hell for? The first movie is prefect.
I wouldn’t call it bad news. I would call it good news. A national meet-up in March would still be prior to the final season then.
I would call that a silver lining to this as this may perhaps let that project advance forward?
I actually think the most probable theory is that they realized Galactica Watercooler wouldn’t have enough time to complete the re-watch in time for a premiere in January. There’s 20 episodes in Season 3 ie 5 months of GWC which put us around March… Coincidence? I say… maybe.
I think it’s pretty much time to nominate Solai as
“Keeper of the Best Pictures” !
So Say me.
As Darth Vader so eloquently put it:
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
