I can't wait until BSG returns with Season 3 in October!
SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT (2nd warning)!!
SPOILER ALERT (final warning)!!!:
Word is that the season opens with a two-hour movie (two episodes: "Occupation" and "Precipice"). Season 3 picks up about four months after where last season left off.
Mediagab.com reports that a Web series BSG spin-off will be debuting later this year. The Web series is called Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance and will fill in the gap between season 2 and the upcoming season 3. The Web series is planed for ten episodes, or "webisodes," as they call them. Supposedly, these will provide some of the backstory so we'll understand characters' motivaions for actions we see them take in the TV show this coming season. There are supposed to be characters in the webisodes who we haven't yet seen in he TV series.
In Episode 3, "Exodus," expect a "To Be Continued..." It's going to be a two-parter.
In a July 13th interview, Executive Producer David Eick revealed that episode 7, "Hero," "involves a human POW who’s been trapped on the Cylon base ship for the last four years, and when we meet him we realize it’s a great homecoming for him because he was one of Adama’s pilots. But by the middle of the episode you realize the reason why this guy was taken prisoner was because Adama shot his ship down. And it becomes sort of an episode about why such a thing would have happened and how Adama begins to believe that on some level he might have been responsible for provoking the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies."
Word is that a central character will die in Season 3!
In an Entertainment Weekly article, Grace Park said that one Cylon character will be permanently killed. On Ron Moore's blog, he says there are no plans to destroy either of the Boomers. So, I guess we can assume she's not the one who dies. It may be Caprica-Six. This is likely because a Season 3 trailer (not quite the same as the one below) that was shown during a BSG discussion panel at the Museum of Television and Radio reportedly showed "one of the Sixes getting shot."
Oh, and Apollo will stay overweight for about the first 5 episodes.
