While some fans were disappointed with Battlestar Galactica's shocking mid-season finale, the episode left most of us in awe and hungry for more. Two days before "Revelations" aired on the Sci-Fi Channel, the Los Angeles Times gathered together executive producer Ronald D. Moore, television critics, Emmy voters, famous fans, and numerous cast members to screen the episode. The folks over at Entertainment Weekly were able to attend the screening, and they reported back with all sorts of juicy tidbits from the Q&A session with the cast and crew. Read on for news on the upcoming series finale, as well as an intriguing fact about the final five Cylons.

Last night's fantastic mid-season finale of Battlestar Galactica was entitled "Revelations" for good reason. We had been waiting all season, if not longer, for some of the major developments that took place in 2008's final episode. While the outing of the four Galactica Cylons was a huge development, it was the long-awaited discovery of Earth that will truly be a game changer for both the characters and the series itself. When Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos) stepped foot on the planet and picked up the soil in his hands, it wasn't the beautiful happy ending it was meant to be. Earth was supposed to be the utopia that saved the human race, but instead the crew found the remnants of a bombed out civilization. It was the perfect example of a theme that ran throughout the episode: be careful what you wish for.

Last week on Battlestar Galactica, I cried into my stylish yet manly hankie when Adama and Roslin were finally reunited aboard the Cylon Basestar. Before that touching moment, Helo and an Eight successfully rescued D'Anna from the Resurrection Hub just minutes before the Viper pilots blew it to bits. D'Anna promised to tell Roslin the identities of the final five Cylons, but only if she takes her back to the Galactica. Can the Cylon be trusted, or is she merely trying to ensure her survival now that she's the last of her kind?
Tonight's episode of Battlestar Galactica is the final installment until 2009. Sit down, buckle up, and prepare yourself for one of the most mind-blowing cliffhangers of the television season.

Battlestar Galactica executive producer Ronald D. Moore recently confirmed that the final episodes of season 4 won't air on the Sci Fi Channel until 2009. This news is especially frustrating since the BSG crew is currently wrapping production on the series. Though the episodes still have plenty of post-production to go through, they'll basically be sitting in the can for months before we see them. This is one reason why I'm especially excited to see tomorrow night's mid-season finale, entitled "Revelations." The title alone promises huge developments, and I have a feeling the Battlestar Galactica writers will pull out all the stops to ensure the fans have a lot to talk about until next year.
To prepare viewers for the big mid-season send-off, we have some promo photos and an exciting clip from the episode.

Yes, Tahmoh Penikett is one fine looking man, but what makes Battlestar Galactica's Helo a truly hot father is the dedication he has to his wife Sharon (Grace Park) and child. First, he stuck by his wife, even after discovering she was a Cylon. Then, upon discovering the death of their child Hera was faked, Helo killed his wife so that she could rescue their child (it makes sense of you know the show). Committing treason for the sake of your child is about as extreme an act of fatherhood as we can imagine, and this helps make Helo the hot dad he is.

"Hub," Last week's amazing episode of Battlestar Galactica, brought us copious amounts of good things: Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) taking charge while dealing with her inner turmoil, Baltar (James Callis) being generally hilarious even while confessing his deep dark secrets, the return of D'Anna (Lucy Lawless), some amazing space battles as the Cylon resurrection hub was destroyed and, of course, the heartwarming reunion between Roslin and Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos).
The fantastic episode was written by one of TV's most prolific and talented scribes, Jane Espenson, who also wrote for such classic cult TV series as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly. As fans prepare for the Battlestar Galactica mid-season finale this Friday, Jane Espenson made the internet interview rounds to talk about “Hub” and hint broadly at what may be coming up next on the series.

We're only a few days away from the midseason finale of Battlestar Galactica. After the credits roll on "Revelations" we'll likely have to wait until 2009 before seeing the final ten episodes of the series. With such a long hiatus in store, it's time for the BSG writers to pull out all the stops and attempt to leave us with our minds blown.
With the hiatus growing closer, we decided to come up with a list of five things we hope to see in this Friday's episode. We tried to keep the list narrowed down to things that might actually be revealed, which is why you won't find us pondering the mystery behind Starbuck's disappearance. These are not only things we long to see, but things we think the writers may actually show us. Let's get on with the list.

The first half of the final season of Battlestar Galactica has proven quite strong. From Starbuck's mysterious return and her descent into madness as she searches for Earth to President Laura Roslin's battle with cancer to the Cylon Civil War, all the pieces have been put into place for an exciting mid-season finale. With the Cylon Resurrection Hub destroyed, the stakes have never been higher. Going into the finale, there are plenty of questions that need answers, the most pressing being who the final Cylon is.
