Yeah, I'm thinking Feb/March of next year.

But all of the episodes have been filmed, correct?

[Kodos]

My wife says they haven't filmed anything yet for the remaining episodes.

I thought I read they are just finishing up filming? Also, because of the length of the final episode they are debating on a 2 hour finale. I hope they are finishing up the filming with the threat of a SAG strike.

Entertainment Weekly had an article about how they put on a screening to try and generate Emmy buzz of the mid-season finale a week ago. The cast said at that time they were shooting the final episode of the show. Everything I've seen has suggested a January start date for the last half of the season, but I don't recall that a season of Galactica has ever aired on time.

Spoiler

Mary McDonnell let slip that during the shooting of the final, she was going over in her bald look and dragging her IV to watch shooting on Caprica, the prequel spinoff. That would seem to suggest that the vision Roslin had of Adama reading to her on her death bed is from the finale.

[Kodos]

Hopefully my wife is misinformed.

They are currently filming the final episode and it's suppose to wrap up some time next week. There will be at least 1 TV movie (with a possibility of 3).

[Kodos]

Yeah, my wife was wrong. She says they're filming the last episode now.

[Bonegavel]

They took great care not to show the continents of "Earth."

I hope i'm wrong. At one point I was vieweing this as the 2nd best TV show EVER and the best sci-fi anything i'd ever read/seen. It's drifted quite a ways from that early assesment.

I have to completely disagree here. This season thus far has been as good as season 2 easily. Season 3 yes was a serious let down in the writing, but this last 10 epsodes have been superior.

Still by far the single best sci-fi TV series ever written even with the let down season 3.

That discussion has intrigued me. They are discussing continuing to do movies after the series end using the Razor movie concept of doing stories that fill in gaps not covered in the series rather than continuing the storyline. There are plenty of stories that could tell for backstory -- I wouldn't mind seeing more New Caprica-era stories or even pre-attack stories.

TVShowsOnDVD.com is reporting that the release date for Season 4.0 on DVD is Dec. 30, which makes a January date for start of the second half of the season very likely.

Preview for Caprica is up:

Interesting. Not necessarily what I was expecting, but it looks appealing. I'll definitely check it out.

From what I've read about the premise, I still don't exactly understand how the whole timeline fits. Not that I'm such a geek that it will make the show unwatchable for me, but it just seems that the timeline doesn't fit well.

[Neon_Chaos]

Wow. Just wow.

And they're not done YET.

The final 3 episodes were amazing. Bill Adama lying in a crumpled heap crying his heart out to his son was one of the best scenes in the entire series.

The cliffhanger was brutal.

Can't wait for the final 10 episodes to come out.

Agreed. That part of the episode where Adama just out and out falls apart was fantastic, simply because it was the first time we've seen the man so much as show weakness in the entire series.

Technically, I think this is the closest we've ever come to actually guessing something correctly.
