Episode 411: Sometimes a Great Notion; 2009
6/14/08: President Lee's Cylon amnesty extended to Caprica Six and that was her alongside Tigh on Earth in the final scene of episode 410. From Mark Verheiden Interview
6/14/08: The second half of the season is likely to return in the first quarter of 2009. From Chicago Tribune
6/14/08: A bonfire is built by Kara on that desolate beach on Earth. From SciFi Channel Promo
5/21/08: There will be ten webisodes that will "link" the first ten episodes of the season to the 2nd ten. From Chicago Tribune
4/6/08: Updated Episode Speculation from TPR
4/6/08: Starbuck learns that the dire predictions of the Cylon Hybrid might be true, and a devastating discovery plunges the fleet into chaos and despair. From SciFi Channel [they find Earth, but are greatly disappointed in what they find there.]
3/8/08: KoenigRules has reported an episode title of "Sometimes a Great Notion." From The Doctor and Mrs. Who
1/30/08: Three's (Lucy Lawless) unboxing has to do with what she might know about the Final Five. [This seems to tie in with the long ago spoiler that her appearance would trigger the storyline for the latter half of the fourth season... if it gets filmed.]
1/16/08: More photos of the ruins set have surfaced. They show the campsite, which likely explains the bonfire that Katee Sackhoff mentions. A Raptor can also be seen. In addition to Aaron Douglas' (Tyrol) comments that they were on location for filming, Jamie Bamber (Lee Adama) and James Callis (Gaius Baltar) can be seen. Tricia Helfer (but which Six?) was also there. From bloginhood [We're assuming that the ruins are on Earth and those are the characters who actually set foot there. We're now also guessing that they reach a post-apocalyptic Earth (think Planet of the Apes).]
1/5/08: On an appearance on Vancouver TV's Urban Rush, Aaron Douglas echoed Katee Sackhoff's previous statement that the midseason two-parter could act as a series finale. However, he also stated that it would give the show a very dark ending. He added that the last day of filming was on location and no one was in their "regular" costumes. [so if it was Earth that they find at midseason, sure doesn't sound like it comes as great news.]
11/21/07: Katee Sackhoff indicated that Kara and Leoben have some sequences in a forest. Later, Jamie Bamber seemed to hint that those scenes were on Earth. From Roadrunner's LiveJournal
11/21/07: At a convention appearance, Katee Sackhoff indicated that the two-parter could serve as a series finale. From Roadrunner's LiveJournal
11/18/07: Ron Moore stated that filming on this episode just ended on Saturday and now BSG production has gone on hiatus. From Ron Moore Blog [This finally indicates that Ron Moore's episode is indeed the next one.]
11/14/07: Screencaps from a report on GlobalTV BC following a severe windstorm on Monday (11/12). Sets that were built to serve as ancient ruins were damaged. The BSG crew were going to attempt to salvage and repair what they could in hopes of resuming filming on the set later in the week. We're assuming that this set would be used for both parts of the mid-season cliffhanger.

11/14/07: [Now we're really confused. Based on Katee Sackhoff's comments, the spoilers about the Ron Moore episode might actually again belong to episode 12 like we thought in the first place. That would again mean that Bradley Thompson and David Weddle did indeed write both parts.]
11/14/07: Katee Sackhoff says that this episode is currently filming. From TV Tattler [This news fits with most of the previous spoilers except for Ron Moore's statements from below...unless he's treating the two-part mid-season episode as a single entity since he never actually mentions an episode number.
11/11/07: This episode would have been set to begin filming next week, but the writers' strike has nixed that. From IGN Article
11/11/07: We first attributed the 11/1 & 11/3 spoilers to episode 12, but looks like they really belong here. This also seems to contradict the earlier spoiler that Bradley Thompson and David Weddle were writing both parts of the mid-season cliffhanger. Apparently, they only wrote the first half.
11/3/07: This episode is "set deep in the Cylon world, as well as aboard Galactica. 'On Galactica, things have really begun to fall apart ... and the relationship between President Laura Roslin [Mary McDonnell] and Adm. William Adama [Edward James Olmos] is going to get pretty interesting'." From Los Angeles Times [This seems to contradict the spoilers about Roslin dying around midseason. Perhaps that breakdown of Adama's is for other reasons.]
11/3/07: Moore is also writing the episode that he'll be directing.
11/1/07: The episode that Ron Moore is directing is scheduled to begin filming just before Thanksgiving. From SciFi Wire [Our first guess is that this is episode twelve or thirteen.]
10/29/07: Edward James Olmos supposedly let slip that Adama has a breakdown in this episode when he hears of Roslin['s death]. From The Two Doctors Podcast [Again we're skeptical, but stringing the separate bits together, gives one something to consider.]
10/29/07: While supposedly visiting her daughter at Brandeis University, Mary McDonnell purportedly said that she only had two or three more episodes left to film as Roslin, which based on the film schedules would put it around the midseason two-parter. Ron Moore subsequently denied that Roslin dies. However, another bit of news (listed in Episode 11) seems to give it credence. [We're skeptical, but at the same time it fits. Back in the first season, Roslin seemed destined to be the dying leader. Also, the midseason two-parter seems to involve Hera's destiny and Roslin seems entwined with her fate.]
9/22/07: The midseason two-parter is being written by Bradley Thompson and David Weddle.
8/16/07: Helo has a large role in the mid-season two-parter. From Battlestar Galactica UK Convention Appearance [And we're guessing that Hera and/or her destiny will be a storyline in the two-parter.]
8/10/07: Lucy Lawless is set for a two or three episode return with D'Anna's unboxing serving to set the direction of the second half of the season. D'Anna and Roslin will have a scene together. From Comic Con Panel [We're assuming that this will be take place during the mid-season cliffhanger.]
