Revision as of 01:55, 17 January 2008 by Joncnunn (talk | contribs) (→Season 4: per Sci-Fi Channel site, first new espidage airs is in March 2008, not April.)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) For the original 1978-1980 television series, see List of Battlestar Galactica (1978-1980) episodes.The re-imagined Battlestar Galactica was initially unveiled as a science fiction miniseries which was first broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel on December 8, 2003. It spawned a regular television series which premiered on Sky One in the UK & Ireland on October 18, 2004 and on Sci Fi Channel in the U.S. on January 14, 2005. The miniseries and seasons one and two have been released on DVD in both the U.S. and UK. The miniseries and episodes are also available for download on Amazon Unbox in the United States.
This is a complete list of episodes for the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series, in continuity chronological order. All titles are provided by the studio; however, in keeping with current trends and policies, these titles are not mentioned on screen.
In the second season, each episode had a Survivor Count, an official total of known Colonial refugees within the Galactica fleet. This number was shown at the beginning of each episode during the opening credits. The character Laura Roslin kept track of this number on a whiteboard in her office. The number often decreased as people died; occasionally it increased as children were born or new survivors were discovered. This count was not included in the early third season, but resumed with the episode "Collaborators".

Prequel minisodes
Starting in October 2007 and concluding in mid November, SciFi Channel released a series of short "minisodes" or "webisodes" (termed "featurettes" in their credits) called the Razor Flashbacks (the URL for each file suggests that the real title may be Takeover), featuring a young Lt. William Adama (played by Nico Cortez) and original-series-style Cylons and Vipers near the end of the First Cylon War. The bulk of the vignette takes place in Adama's fighter pilot days, though it concludes with a scene from the first episode of the miniseries and series, in which Admiral Adama is reminiscing before the Galactica's soon-to-be-aborted decommissioning ceremony. The plot involves the young Adama's discovery of a Cylon lab in which the Cylons have been gruesomely experimenting with live human subjects.
The minisodes were written by Michael Taylor and directed by Wayne Rose for the first two episodes and by Félix Alcalá for the last five. They were first made available directly from the official series homepage at SciFi.com/battlestar. and are also on the Razor DVD. These webisodes are somewhat independent and are not simply excerpted from Razor, although Razor integrates approximately half of the minisode material directly.
Season 4
According to SciFi Wire, the SciFi Channel has ordered 22 episodes to be made for season four, an increase from 13 as originally announced. It has also been stated that season 4 will be the final season of Battlestar Galactica. Production of the new season began May 2007 and SciFi plans to begin airing in early 2008. The 22 episode order consists of 20 episodes which will form the fourth season. These episodes were preceded in late 2007 by a special 2-hour television movie titled "Razor", which comprised episodes 21 and 22 of the 22-episode order.
Only the first ten episodes of Season Four (Razor is considered two episodes) were filmed before the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike halted production of all scripted TV shows. The final scripts of the season were not complete and production was temporarily shut down. As a result, the actors were placed in limbo, bound by a contract, but not paid. This may put the final episodes in jeopardy since the show could shut down completely if the strike continues.

The miniseries was released in the UK on 1 March 2004 and in the U.S. and Canada on 28 December 2004, and included deleted scenes, audio commentary, and a behind-the-scenes documentary.
The first season was released to DVD on 28 March 2005 and 20 September 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 without its deleted scenes and making-of documentary from the standalone miniseries DVD.
The second season was released in its entirety in a single volume in the UK 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 25 April 2006, as the episodes had only begun airing in January 2006.
The third season came out in R2 on September 3rd and is planned for R4 release on Nov 21st. R1 is set for a March 25th release date. The R2 & R4 DVDs do not contain any extras, other than a 45 minute recap of the previous two seasons (comprised of clips of the seasons strung together with a voice-over).
HD DVD release
On August 14, 2007, Universal Studios Home Entertainment announced that the mini-series and Season One will be released on December 4, 2007, in the North American market, on the new High Definition TV disc format: HD DVD. The technical specifications include 1080p/VC-1 transfers of the mini-series and each episode is in 16:9 widescreen Aspect ratio, plus Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 surround audio options.
Online availability
In January 2006, Apple began offering the miniseries, season one and season two episodes for purchase on the U.S. version of its iTunes Store. After a delay, season three episodes were also made available. NBC Universal, the producer and owner of the show, has provided a number of its shows for purchase the day after broadcast to U.S. customers. As of early December 2007 all of the iTunes Battlestar Galactica episodes have been removed.
