[edit] Season 4

According to SciFi Wire, the SciFi Channel ordered 22 episodes to be made for season four, an increase from 13 as originally announced. The production of the season 4 initially began May 2007. A special TV movie (or "extended episode") premiered November 24, 2007, and was released on DVD a short time later. The rest of the season began April 4, 2008, but because of the WGA strike, it was postponed but was announced to continue January, 2009. Season 4 episodes were added (and in some cases re-added) to iTunes in SD and HD format, along with the miniseries and all the other Seasons on September 9, 2008.

[edit] Razor (TV movie)

Battlestar Galactica: Razor was the first television film based on the 2003 reimagining of the Battlestar Galactica franchise. The movie was filmed as the first two episodes of the 22 in the production order of Season 4, but was broadcast six months before the rest of the season on November 24, 2007. It was released in an extended form on DVD shortly after. Razor doesn't directly carry on from the events at the end of season three but follows several narrative threads set earlier in the series; the main framing story is set between "The Captain's Hand" and "Downloaded", but most of the film details the sparsely-known history of the Pegasus from just prior to the Cylon attack up until Admiral Cain's demise. Razor was also intended to act as a backdrop for season four by seeding subtle insights of events yet to occur despite its apparent discontinuity between the preceding and successive seasons.

Only the first 12 episodes of season four (including Razor, which is technically the first two episodes of the 22 ordered for season 4^{[1] [2]}) were filmed before the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike halted production of all scripted TV shows.

For the 10 regular episodes, Battlestar Galactica averaged a 1.7 Nielsen household rating, 2.2 million total viewers, 1.6 million viewers in the 25-to-54-year-old demographic, and 1.5 million viewers in the coveted 18-to-49-year-old demographic.^[3] This represented an increase of 13 percent in household rating, 11 percent in total viewers, 14 percent in viewers aged 25-to-54, and 6 percent in viewers aged 18-to-49 over the same set of episodes in Season 3.^[3] It was the best showing for the series in the 25-to-54 and 18-to-49 demographics since the first half of Season 2 (July to September 2005).^[3] Season 4 also saw an increase in female viewers: 23 percent in female viewers aged 18-to-49 and 25 percent in female viewers aged 25-to-54 versus the last 10 episodes of Season 3; the top four episodes of Battlestar Galactica in terms of female viewership all aired in Season 4.^[3]

[edit] The Plan (TV movie)

On August 7, 2008, the SciFi Channel announced that a two-hour television movie will air after all of the series episodes have aired. So far, the confirmed cast includes Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, Callum Keith Rennie, Matthew Bennett, Rick Worthy, Kate Vernon, Michael Hogan, Michael Trucco, Aaron Douglas, Dean Stockwell, and Edward James Olmos (who will also be the movie's director). The plot of The Plan spans across the first two seasons of the TV show, beginning from the destruction of the twelve colonies in the Miniseries but looking at the events from Cylons' perspective.^[10][11][12] It began production on September 8, 2008. The DVD release of The Plan will feature more than 30 additional minutes of footage than will be in the version that will air on Syfy. "The Plan is 2 hours and 6 minutes long the way you're going to have it on the DVD. When you see it aired, it's going to be 88 minutes."^[13]

The Plan was expected to be the final Battlestar Galactica television movie; most of the sets were struck after production and many of the props were sold at auction in January 2009.^[14] However, on July 24, 2009, Edward James Olmos stated that this movie will not be the last.^[15]

[b] In the title of this box set it does not say that it has the miniseries and this box set does not contain the second half of season 4 but rather episodes 1-12 (including Razor)
[c] This box set does not contain the TV movie, "The Plan".
[d] This box set includes "The Plan" as well as every episode from the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica series and the Galactica 1980 series.

The miniseries was released in the UK on March 1, 2004 and in the U.S. and Canada on December 28, 2004, and included deleted scenes, audio commentary, and a behind-the-scenes documentary.

The first season was released on DVD on March 28, 2005 and September 20, 2005 in the UK and North America respectively and included deleted scenes. The American set also included featurettes, and a tongue-in-cheek promotional special filmed for the Sci Fi Channel in addition to the miniseries. However, it does not contain the special features that were included on the mini-series stand alone DVD release.

The second season was released in its entirety in a single volume in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia, but issued in two separate volumes (dubbed "Season 2.0" and "Season 2.5") in the U.S. to correspond with the mid-season break in the broadcast schedule. Each U.S. volume contains half of the season, along with deleted scenes and podcasts that were previously available on the official website. "Season 2.5" also contains an extended version of "Pegasus", the last episode of the first half of the season. The region 2 DVDs include the extended version of "Pegasus", as well as the commentaries and deleted scenes from the U.S. 2.0 release, but do not contain any of the commentaries and deleted scenes from the 2.5 release (other than the extended "Pegasus" episode), nor the original, shorter version of "Pegasus" included on the U.S. 2.0 release. The Canadian DVD release of Season 2.0 was delayed until April 25, 2006, as the episodes had only begun airing in January 2006.

The third season came out in region 2 on September 3, 2007 and in region 4 on November 21, 2007. The region 1 release was set for a March 25, 2008 release date. The region 2 and 4 DVDs do not contain any extras but the region 2 box set came with a 45 minute recap of the previous two seasons (consisting of clips of the seasons strung together with a voice-over).

The fourth season, like season two, was released in two parts. In regions 1, 2 and 4 the television movie Razor was included in "Part 1" (as it is technically a part of the season despite it being released separately at an earlier date). In region 1, both the extended and shortened versions of Razor are included in the "4.0" box set.

A boxset of the entire series (not including the forthcoming television movie The Plan) was released in regions 1, 2 and 4 in 2009. The region 2 and 4 releases contain all the extra features from the region 1 release that are absent from the single-season boxsets.

Since May 2008, the newest episodes are added to Scifi.com Rewind and NBC's Hulu sites eight days after the original air date. As of May 6, Battlestar Galactica can be downloaded through the Zune marketplace.

All four seasons as well as the mini-series are currently available in both HD and SD format for purchase through the Xbox Live Marketplace for playback via Xbox 360 game consoles.

On September 9, 2008, all episodes so far including the miniseries were released on iTunes, being released in both Standard and HD format.

In February 2009, episodes of Battlestar Galactica became available in HD format at the UK iTunes Store.^[49]
