What's the motivation to do this? I will not watch and in 2010 I will probably can get it in BR or HDDVD.
Motivation? The lack of anything that comes close to being as compelling; thus, they think they can pull a Sopranos. Alas, viewers allowed HBO to pull that off, so the other networks think why not?
AND you won't have to wait to buy it in HD DVD. HELL, they will release a Season 4.0 disc set, AND then later a 4.5 set. Total B.S.

Those folks in programming at Sci-Fi just don't get it, do they? Stringing it out to that extreme isn't going to keep viewers watching...they'll just find other sources to get the episodes from to avoid 10-month wait between the first 10 and the final 10.
Stupid...just plain dumb.

The award was presented Saturday night (Sept. 8) at the Creative Arts Primetime Emmys as part of the 59th Emmy Awards presentation at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A.
In addition, Stargate Digital won for "Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special" for BATTLEGROUND (NIGHTMARES & DREAMSCAPES: FROM THE STORIES OF STEPHEN KING).
The winning creative team for Atmosphere included Jeremy Hoey, lead matte painter; Tom Archer, lead compositor; Andrew Karr, CGI supervisor; Alec McClymont, lead CGI artist/animator; and Brenda Campbell, lead compositor.
The winning BATTLESTAR creative team included VFX supervisor, Gary Hutzel; senior VFX coordinator, Michael Gibson; CG supervisor, Doug Drexler; and CGI sequence designer, Adam "Mojo" Lebowitz.
"Exodus, Part 2" featured the dramatic and dangerous rescue of the colonists from the Cylon-occupied surface of the planet New Caprica and an eye-arresting, explosive space show down between the Battlestars "Galactica" and "Pegasus" and Cylon Base Stars, which ends in fiery triumph and destruction.
"After a decade of being consistently and prominently honored with Emmy Awards nominations for visual effects," said Atmosphere principal Jeremy Hoey, "this is the first time a Vancouver-based show has brought the award home. We at Atmosphere are proud to share in this award and to take part in such an outstanding production as BATTLESTAR GALACTICA."
Meanwhile, the winning BATTLEGROUND creative team included VFX supervisor Sam Nicholson (from Stargate Digital); VFX supervisor Eric Grenaudier; VFX producer Mark Spatny (from Stargate Digital); CGI supervisor Adalberto Lopez; lead CGI Model Maker Michael Cook; lead CGI animator Daniel Kumiega; lead VFX compositor Megan Omi; lead VFX compositor Ryan Wieber; and VFX producer Marc van Buuren.

Wow!... if it wasn't for the annoying Razor promo lettering above the ScifiHD logo this would be really great!
Yeah, more channels are cluttering up their "bug" area with ads and promo's. It used to be that a channel only had to ID themselves once an hour, now they just put their bug up and leave it on during every program, only taking it down during commercials.
I wish they'd do just the opposite and put up their bug only during commercial breaks.

Spike TV is even worse. Their bug is a little bigger, and then they'll put 2-3 lines of text above their Spike bug. It's pathetic...and aggravating at times.
Interesting thought, but as far as we know, she's dead...unless they pull a "Starbuck" on us...
Maybe they will pull a Bobby Ewing and say all of season 3 was just a dream.
Maybe the starbuck that died ,was a cylon duplicate of Kara and the real Starbuck is on the cylon mothership.
Aren't they all just duplicates anyway? How many #6 (Gina) models have we seen now?
Does it matter?
