BSG Season 3 begins October 6, 2006

The Futon Critic has the call:

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (Sci Fi) - The show's third season is set to kick off on Friday, October 6 at 10:00/9:00c according to advertising sales materials recently released by the network. The series will run for 10 consecutive weeks (through December 8), after which it will return for an additional 10 installments in 2007.

Looks like they are going to hold BSG in the same timeslot. I guess all those rumors of the show going to network are over? I am fine with that. I like SciFi having a flag ship.

Good stuff!

Bah. Going network could only hurt the show. Besides, sci-fi should have at least one show that isn;t embarassing to watch.

remind me, season 3 is another 20 episode deal, right?

Aragorn - Season 3 will be 20 episodes last I heard:

Woohoo! Happy birthday to me (mine's the 7th).

BSG scripts were stolen by the people from scifi. Just so you know the work was incomplete and from this point on it is their writers finishing the story. See if the quality is the same, better or worse. Thanks F.X. Toole

The ones that moralize tend to not advance the plot. They generally try to make a social commentary and are usually pretty boring. Dirty Hands (Season 3, Episode 16) is little more than an overdramatized illustration of negotiating with unions and resolving problems that arise due to unfair labor practices, lack of job rotation and ineffective or nonexistent human resource departments.

Like other viewers, I have noticed with some dismay the deference to military authority over democratic processes that is exemplified repeatedly throughout the show. Of course, having the ships on armed lockdown and not having any democracy at all is what's called for in a situation where you are trying to save the last remnant of the human race from a deadly predator while being chased across the universe. The filmmakers, however, perhaps out of a misguided sense of social responsibility, felt that it would be good to include within the BSG series some sociology lessons. In these lessons we are shown that the decisions made by flawed and human military leaders, although initially misguided perhaps, still always turn out for the best-- and that with just a teeny bit of workers' rights, or tolerance for black markets and corruption, or respect for other cultures and religions, or torture and execution of only the really, really bad people, the angry masses can be quelled and we can all get back to sipping our vodka in our luxury offices while the workers keep on shovelin' the trillium ore down in the furnaces.
