I’ve not written anything about Battlestar Galactica since November, due to there not being much to write about. We were given Battlestar Galactica: Razor, which was good, but it was also almost 5 months ago.
I remarked in that post that Battlestar Galactica was going to be gone until April of 2008, and luckily, we now found ourselves nearing April. Season 4 will start up on April 4th, a mere 25 days away. (When you’ve waited nearly a year, 25 days is nothing.) Truth be told, I’ve been looking forward to it coming back, but I haven’t been excited per se. What I needed, apparently, was to actually watch some Battlestar Galactica, even if it was an 8 minute recap of seasons 1 through 3.
The recap is currently here, but in case Scifi.com pulls it from the main BSG page or hides it in a nest of links, you can also watch it here. If you’ve not seen seasons 1 through 3, I really do recommend you watch them - they’re excellent - but if you’re strapped for time, the recap will at least get you ready for season 4. If you’ve watched all of the seasons thus far, the recap is a good refresher. It’s also got some pretty funny narration - “There’s a bun in the toaster.” Heh.
25 days… I think I can hold out that long.

I didn’t twig to the ‘bun in the toaster’ comment till after i’d hit publish on the roast and decided on a title! Next week!
And I really can’t wait till S4 starts. To be strictly true, I really can’t wait till S4 makes it to DVD because we won’t be getting it on the TV over here and I can’t do naughty things with streaming because that would be bad…
Just promise me to make sure any spoilers are clearly flagged so I can avoid them, m’kay?

First time I’ve ever seen the word “twig” used in that way; I had to look it up! (The dictionary I checked did say that it was “chiefly British”, though, so…)
Youch - waiting for the DVDs! I thought I had it bad waiting for a year, you’ve got a way to go yet! I think under similar circumstances I might cave and do naughty things with streaming.
Sure thing on the spoilers.

Steve: I miss all of ‘em. Well, except Gaius, who I suppose I do miss… hating.
