The Wait Is Over - Battlestar Galactica returns to SPACE April 4
Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 08:58 PM
Battlestar Galactica is back! The fourth, and final season of the
award-winning sci-fi drama, which Time Magazine and Newsday has dubbed
the "Best Show on Television," returns Friday, April 4 at 10 p.m. ET /
7 p.m. PT., exclusively on SPACE. The destination for all things
Battlestar Galactica, SPACE features exclusive content each week in
March on HypaSPACE and premieres two new Battlestar specials March
28.
Battlestar Galactica's gritty realism, issues-driven topicality, and
command performances have garnered it much adulation. The Wa****ngton
Post claims it is "one of the best science fiction shows ever created"
while TV Guide named it "one of TV's ***iest and most entertaining
series." Battlestar can also be credited with creating many notable
pop culture references, including the word 'frak.' Frak was used in TV
series Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, Robot Chicken and The O.C as an
homage to the series and its creators.
Season 4 follows the last remnants of humanity as they continue their
search for the fabled refuge Earth. In the season premiere, suspicions
arise around Starbuck's mysterious return, while four members of the
fleet continue to reel with the revelation that they are Cylons. The
first 10 episodes of Season 4 premiere on SPACE this spring, with 10
more to follow. Premiere date for the second set of episodes is yet to
be determined.
SPACE'S weekly entertainment news program HypaSPACE counts down to
Galactica's premiere with exclusive content each week in March.

To round out the countdown, SPACE premieres two exclusive half-hour

Phenomenon beginning March 28 at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. Battlestar
Galactica: Revealed features interviews with executive producers
Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, who serve up essential information on
the spine-tingling drama, including a recap on characters and
relation****ps. Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon is a celebration
of the show's impact on pop culture. Actor Seth Green, country music

Galactica is one of the best frakkin' shows on television.
