From The Chicago Tribune:
QUOTE 'Plan' for 'Battlestar' fans: Wait a little longer for TV movie Since it went of the air in March, "Battlestar Galactica" fans have been waiting for the debut of the "BSG" film "The Plan." But unless they plan to purchase the film on DVD, they're going to have to wait a bit longer. Syfy had said in the past that the two-hour film, which was written by Jane Espenson and directed by Edward James Olmos, would air on the network this fall. As recently as June, Syfy president Dave Howe said that it would likely air in November. However the network has confirmed that "The Plan" will not air on Syfy in 2009. The film, which revisits events from early in the run of "Battlestar Galactica" from the Cylon perspective, is still on track for an Oct. 27 DVD release. And presumably "The Plan" will arrive on Syfy some time next year. If I get more concrete information about a time frame, I will update this post. In March, Olmos said this at a "Battlestar" press event: ?When [?Battlestar? fans] see ?The Plan,? they?re all going to have to go back and watch the entire series again.? Syfy tried this "DVD then a long-ish wait" gambit with another upcoming project. The two-hour pilot for "Caprica," a "Battlestar" prequel series, came out on DVD in April, and the drama debuts on Syfy Jan. 22. "Caprica" is set 50 years before the events of "Battlestar," stars Esai Morales, Eric Stoltz, Polly Walker and Paula Malcolmson, and has made news recently with the casting of high-profile guest stars such as James Marsters and Patton Oswalt. -------------------- Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity.

Hmmmm. I don't really watch BSG, but how is Patton Oswalt a high-profile guest star?

I'll get the DVD, because it is fun to watch an "Adult BSG" since the censors here in the land of the free seem to think killing is okay but cursing and sex are bad.

Anyone else actually see The Plan yet? It's gotten me motivated to do some catching up with BSG (along with Marc Guggenheim's comics version of Galactica 1980, which I highly recommend), starting with the mini-series and Razor. As a fan trying to get back in, I hope they have a special release for the series finale at some point. Also, if people recommend Caprica, I might check that out, too.

I will probably watch The Plan when it airs on Syfy because I am a glutton for punishment. It cannot be any worse than the last season of the series, right?

Well, it does cover only the early seasons, so at least you won't have to suffer the events of the last season...

I read a few threads about this over at the Syfy forums and the general consensus seemed to be that it was a waste of time that did not answer any questions and felt like a glorified clip show. Thoughts?

Not having been a devout fan of the series, I was reasonably amused by it, but like I've said, it doesn't cover, curiously, the whole series, much less a coherent "plan," which is funny because that's the name.
