Battlestar Galactica Season 4 is Approaching
As March 2008 approaches, Scifi fans will finally get another season of Battlestar Galactica. Perplexing us all, no doubt, is why the Scifi Channel has not totally rerun Season 3 episodes leading up the the Season 4 premiere in March. Regardless, those of us with a free DIRECTV DVR can watch them in the correct order. Here is a brief teaser of where the last episode of Battlestar Galactica Season 3 left off.
As the Galactica scans this waystation on the route to Earth, the entire fleet abruptly loses power. In the darkness and confusion that follow, Tigh, Tyrol, Tory and Anders are nearly overcome by the insistent song, and they each follow it to an obscure workout room on the Galactica. When they lock eyes with each other, they guess the obvious but horrifying explanation for the mental summons that they’ve obeyed: they must all be Cylons.
At that moment, a massive Cylon armada bursts onto the scene. Lee Adama joins his old Viper crew and flies out in defense of the Galactica. In the light of the mysterious nebula, to his shock, Kara Thrace appears in a Viper next to him. Kara — a.k.a. Starbuck — appeared to blow herself up in Episode 3 Maelstrom, after she suffered a series of hallucinations involving the cylon Leoben, the colorful mandala that she painted long ago (that looks remarkably like the newly discovered nebula) as well as herself as a little girl. All these introspective trips seemed to push her over the edge. While pursuing a phantom cylon ship, Thrace and her viper blew up on the edge of the nebulonic cloud. Seemingly back from the dead, Starbuck has come bearing a message of cosmic importance….Thats it. We all have been waiting for Season 4, and its almost here!
We watch the Scifi Channel on DIRECTV.
