[edit] Miniseries

Battlestar Galactica was a three hour long miniseries which acted as the backdoor pilot for the subsequent 2004 television series. The pilot was written by Ronald D. Moore who reinvented or, as Moore describes it, "reimagined" the concepts which drove the original 1978 series. It premiered in the US over two nights (December 3 and 4, 2003) and received critical acclaim and, at the time, was the most-watched program ever to air on the US Sci Fi Channel.

[edit] Webisodes: Razor Flashbacks

In 2007, starting in October and concluding mid-November, SciFi Channel released a series of seven short "webisodes" (or "featurettes" as described in their credits) called the Razor Flashbacks. The URL for each webisode suggests that the internal name may actually be Takeover. They featured 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 vignettes take place in Adama's fighter pilot days but the series concludes with a scene of Commander Adama reminiscing on the flashbacks set just before the Galactica's soon-to-be-aborted decommissioning ceremony begins.

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 were later included 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. The webisodes are also available as free downloads on the Xbox Live Marketplace, some of which are featured in high-definition 720p resolution.

During the later stages of the First Cylon War, a young Lt. William Adama discovers, by chance, an abandoned lab where the Cylons conducted gruesome experiments with live human subjects.

[edit] Season 4

According to SciFi Wire, the SciFi Channel ordered 22 episodes to be made for season four, an increase from 13 as originally announced. The production of the season 4 initially began May 2007. A special TV movie (or "extended episode") premiered November 24, 2007 and was released on DVD a short time later. The rest of the season began April 4, 2008 but because of the WGA strike, it was postponed but was announced to continue January, 2009. Season 4 episodes were added (and in some cases re-added) to iTunes in SD and HD format, along with the miniseries and all the other Seasons on September 9, 2008.

[edit] Razor (TV movie)

Battlestar Galactica: Razor was the first television film based on the 2003 reimagining of the Battlestar Galactica franchise. The movie was filmed as the first two episodes of the 22 in the production order of Season 4, but was broadcast six months before the rest of the season on November 24, 2007. It was released in an extended form on DVD shortly after. Razor doesn't directly carry on from the events at the end of season three but follows several narrative threads set earlier in the series; the main framing story is set between "The Captain's Hand" and "Downloaded", but most of the film details the sparsely-known history of the Pegasus from just prior to the Cylon attack up until Admiral Cain's demise. 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] Episodes 3 to 12

Only the first 12 episodes of season four (including Razor, which is technically the first two episodes of the 22 ordered for season 4^{[2] [3]}) were filmed before the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike halted production of all scripted TV shows.

For the 10 regular episodes, Battlestar Galactica averaged a 1.7 Nielsen household rating, 2.2 million total viewers, 1.6 million viewers in the 25-to-54-year-old demographic, and 1.5 million viewers in the coveted 18-to-49-year-old demographic.^[4] This represented an increase of 13 percent in household rating, 11 percent in total viewers, 14 percent in viewers aged 25-to-54, and 6 percent in viewers aged 18-to-49 over the same set of episodes in Season 3.^[4] It was the best showing for the series in the 25-to-54 and 18-to-49 demographics since the first half of Season 2 (July to September 2005).^[4] Season 4 also saw an increase in female viewers. The series saw an increase of 23 percent in female viewers aged 18-to-49 and an increase of 25 percent in female viewers aged 25-to-54 versus the last 10 episodes of Season 3; the top four episodes of Battlestar Galactica in terms of female viewership all aired in Season 4.^[4]

[edit] The Plan (TV movie)

On August 7, 2008 the SciFi Channel announced that a two-hour television movie will air after all of the series episodes have aired. So far, the confirmed cast includes Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, Callum Keith Rennie, Michael Hogan, Michael Trucco, Aaron Douglas, Dean Stockwell, and Edward James Olmos (who will also be the movie's director). The plot of The Plan is set after the events of the Cylons' attack on the 12 colonies.^[11] It began production on September 8, 2008.

The Plan is likely the final Battlestar Galactica television movie; most of the sets were struck after production and many of the props were sold at auction in January 2009.^[12]

*In the title of this box set it does not say that it has the mini-series and this box set does not contain the second half of season 4 but rather episodes 1-12 (including Razor)

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

The first season was released to DVD on March 28, 2005 and September 20, 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. However, it does not contain the special features that were included on the mini-series stand alone DVD release.

The second season was released in its entirety in a single volume in the UK, New Zealand, 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 April 25, 2006, as the episodes had only begun airing in January 2006.

The third season came out in R2 on September 3, 2007 and in R4 on November 21, 2007. R1 was set for a March 25, 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).

The fourth season, like season two, will be released in two parts. In regions 1, 2 and 4 the television movie Razor were included in "Part 1" (as it is technically a part of the season despite it being released separately at an earlier date). In region 1, however, the extended and shortened versions of Razor will both be included in the "4.0" box set.

On August 14, 2007, Universal Studios Home Entertainment announced that the mini-series and Season One would be released on December 4, 2007, in the North American market, on the now discontinued high definition disc format HD DVD.^[26] 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.^[26]

[edit] Online availability

In January 2006, Apple began offering the miniseries, season 1 and season 2 episodes for purchase on the U.S. version of its iTunes Store. After a delay, season 3 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.^[27] In early December 2007 all of the iTunes Battlestar Galactica episodes were removed along with other NBC-Universal content.

Shortly after being removed from the iTunes service, Amazon's online Video on Demand store started making them available for sale. All season 1-4 episodes as well as the miniseries and the TV movie Razor are available for purchase in high-quality Windows Media Format.

Since May 2008, the newest episodes are added to Scifi.com Rewind and NBC's Hulu sites eight days after the original air date. As of May 6, Battlestar Galactica can be downloaded through the Zune marketplace.

All four seasons as well as the mini-series are currently available in both HD and SD format for purchase through the Xbox Live Marketplace for playback via Xbox 360 game consoles.

On September 9, 2008, all episodes so far including the miniseries were released on iTunes, being released in both Standard and HD format.

In February 2009, episodes of Battlestar Galactica became available in HD format at the UK iTunes Store.^[28]
