The Sci-Fi Channel confirmed on March 22, 2007 that Battlestar Galactica has been renewed for a fourth season of 20 episodes, an increase from the previously-announced thirteen episodes. The order — originally announced as a 22-episode commitment — included the two-hour TV movie "Razor", which went back and told a story involving the Battlestar Pegasus[9][10] and aired in the fourth quarter of 2007. The regular, 20-episode fourth season is rumored to be split into two halves — the first 10 episodes airing beginning in March 2008, and the second 10 installments possibly airing as late as 2009.[11]
The Sci-Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica web site now features at virtual reality tour of a major section of the Galactica's bridge in the upcoming mini-series. The bridge is a major departure (downgrade?) from the original bridge. The new bridge ... features some high-tech features, such as rolling office chairs with wheels, and non-cordless phones with dangling power cords.

This is not your father's "Battlestar Galactica." It's not your children's, either. With its sex scenes and violence, this revisionist version of the 1970s show earns its late time slot on the Sci-Fi Channel. In fact, the only reminders of the old series are some of the spaceship designs and the plot about a fleet of humans fleeing their destroyed worlds with their aggressors, the Cylons, in hot pursuit. By shunning the "Star Trek" model (no alien monsters here), creator Ronald D. Moore has fashioned a space drama rather than a space opera. This thoughtful allegory about 9/11 is one of the best sci-fi shows ever. Extras: Moore's erudite commentary on each episode will add mileage to these discs.
Battlestar Galactica (2003, 2005–) is a science fiction miniseries which was first broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel on December 8, 2003. Due to stellar ratings, it spawned a one-hour television series co-produced by Sky One and Sci Fi Channel, which premiered its 13-episode first season on October 18, 2004 in the UK and January 14, 2005 in the United States.
