My brother sent me this.........

"When's Battlestar Galactica: Season Three coming out? When is Universal going to announce the third season of Battlestar?" You know, aside from "When is this format war going to be over?" I don't think we get asked anything more often.

Well, folks... it just so happens that we're Battlestar fans around here at The Bits too. So we asked our friends over at Universal. The long answer is (of course) that what follows is unofficial, as the title hasn't actually been announced yet and production is still underway on the special features. However... their short answer is that it's tentatively penciled into their release schedule for next Spring, specifically April 2008.

Yeah, I know that's a fracking long time. Don't kill the messenger. I'm just telling you what they told me. There's no specific word on why they're taking so long to get it done, other than presumably they're just trying to get all the extras finished. Perhaps they want to give Battlestar Galactica: Razor plenty of time by itself on the DVD shelves, so that all you fans will make sure to buy it. Maybe they want to have another DVD product to sell during Season Four's mid-season break. Maybe they're working on an HD-DVD version as well (that's not official or anything, but it seems a likely possibility). Anyway, as of now, April 2008 it is.

Stay tuned...

Sigh. And this is especially painful for someone like me who has NOT seen season 3 yet and has been trying his utmost to not come across any spoilers. I finished watching season 2 of BSG in the Spring of this year so it has already been a long drought for me.

Thanks for the news though Buffalo!

I missed the LAST episodes of season 3 so I am screwed there.

Tho have not gotten season 2 yet as why on earth do I need to get 2.0 and 2.5 both 50$ when season 1 is 50$ for entire season idea right. So sort of waiting for the sale of the box set.

Check out Gogamer.com. They have season 1 for $41. But yeah, I agree that the whole pricing thing with the BSG dvd's is stupid.

This doesn't make sense ... wouldn't they want it out for the holidays AND to have it out before the final season starts in Jan?

You'd think that. I guess they're behind on the features though.
