On April 19, 2008 at Fedcon in Germany, our colleagues of the German Battlestar Galactica site Caprica City, met up with Mary McDonnell, better known for her part as President Laura Roslin in Battlestar Galactica 2003.  They asked her about how having an Oscar winning performance early on shaped her future career. They also delved into how her character handles the responsibilities of being president, and would it be better instead to wield power behind the scenes as either a First Lady or Vice President.

On April 4, 2008 Season 4 of the Battlestar Galactica 2003 series will air. We already got hold of the first images of the episodes  "He That Believeth in Me", "Six of One", "The Ties That Bind" and "Escape Velocity" (since Battlestar Galactica: Razor is seen as episode 1 and 2 of Season 4, these are called episode 3-6). The images contain no spoilers, but it's great to see the new material already! 

An official press release by SciFi Channel just stated that the pilot for the prequel Battlestar Galactica series Caprica is now officially a go! Production will begin this spring and Battlestar Galactica executive producers Ron D. Moore and David EIck will also lead this project.
