On that note - There hasn't been an update on the strike has there? Seems pretty gutsy of Scifi to name a date when the whole issue hasn't been resolved yet...

that release date was plane WAY before the strike, and the whole seaons's been shot already.

You mean the whole truncated season, since the strike hit with 8 episodes to go, including the finally.

Oh ok. I was under the impression it was meant to start early-mid March...

you can't start shooting a show 3 weeks before it airs mate..LOL..

True, but you could start shooting the second half of the season as the first half is coming to air. Hopefully they will air the whole season in one continuous run, but the TV execs seem to love their mid-season breaks

The back nine have not been written or filmed. The last show taped was Episode 413 (Mid season finalle). From Ron D Moore's Blog:

Galactica wraps
Saturday, November 17, 2007

Production wrapped on episode 413 late last night, and there’s no certain date to resume shooting. No more scripts exist. My office staff has been laid off. My cast has been suspended, without pay.

I refuse to believe that we won’t finish, that we won’t be back to film our final stories, but I know and accept there is that possibility. The strike will be a seminal event for many of us in this business as it’s put literally everything we care about in the balance (if only for a short time so far) for something we all believe is important.

Writers talk a lot about the strike, about the reasons we’re out on the picket lines and our feelings and experiences in the business. It’s been an interesting three weeks. I’ve connected with more scribes in the last few weeks than in many months before and I come away from it to date with a sense of optimism about the solidarity of the membership and admiration for my peers.

Galactica’s coming back, I frakking promise you that. But I am ready to put the rest of the story on the table and take the risk that I’ll never be able to tell it, in support of this strike.

Like Adama says, you make your choices and then you live with them.

Still.

A helluva gamble.

That's great ! Just a month ago I got Sci-Fi in my part of the world (Poland is always left behind ...) and now I will get Galactica too

I stand corrected then..cause they usually have it all done by now, the person that told me they were done, might have been refering to the first 9 doh..

I think you got Sci-fi Europe and not the US channel.
Sci-fi Europe to my knowledge has not Even shown the New BSG.
Though it could be different to what they show on the Sci-fi Channel here in the UK.
Have you seen any advertisements for it?
If the has not been any advertising yet you still may have to wait a little longer.
