See BSG: Razor early, but Season 4 not until April

In case you haven't already, if you live near one of the eight lucky cities below, be sure to register for tickets to the upcoming free theater screenings of the two-hour episode/film Battlestar Galactica: Razor on Monday, November 12. Even though Helo won't be in it, it looks to be an entertaining double episode.

As announced by Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune:

"There will be free screenings of the film in movie theaters in eight cities on Nov. 12: Los Angeles, New York/New Jersey, San Francisco, Dallas, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle and Chicago."

Registration is now live over at battlestarevent.com.

In less happy news, Denise Martin of the L.A. Times Show Tracker blog reports that the Sci-Fi Channel will debut season 4 of Battlestar Galactica in April of 2008. Read the full press release thanks to Ryan at the Tribune.

That explains the delay on the Season 3 DVDs. The release also reveals that Battlestar writer/producer Ron Moore will direct one of the series' final episodes.
