Episode 419 Spoilers: Daybreak, Part 1; Series Finale Part 1; March 13, 2009

11/8/08: Tracey Anne (played by Leela Savasta), one of Baltar's followers, is set to appear along with new characaters named Rafferty and Captain Sarah Alchemer. From IMDB
9/20/08: The episode was written by Ron Moore and directed by Michael Rymer. From Galactica SitRep
9/18/08: Added the episode title. From Mark Verheiden Blog
8/11/08: Crewman Specialist Prosna (Michael Eklund) is listed as appearing. From IMDB [Considering Prosna was killed off in the miniseries, the finale is shaping up to be a flashback episode.]
8/7/08: Take it with a grain of salt, but Zak Adama (Tobias Mehler) is listed as appearing the final three episodes of the series. From IMDB [If this is real casting news, we assume that he would be a vision Zak or flashback Zak as opposed to the Final Cylon Zak.]
7/21/08: This is the first part of what will be at least a three hour season finale and it's still possible that it could be longer. In addition, there will be an extended cut of the finale on the DVD. From Chicago Tribune
6/21/08: This episode is indeed the first part of what is now a three hour season finale. From Chicago Tribune
6/21/08: Looks like it's time to put to rest the Tyrol kills Lee note that we posted on 6/15/08. Here's what Michelle at AaronDouglasFans passed along to us: "I sent Aaron a copy and paste of what was posted on your website and asked him to clarify whether or not he was mucking around with that comment. He said that yes, it was a joke." He's also apparently not laughing over the commotion so we're done with it. We hope that this doesn't affect his interaction with online fandom... though it seems arrogant to even think that TPR could have that kind of impact. In other words, we here at TPR just aren't important enough to have any effect on the relationship between BSG cast/crew and the online community.
6/20/08: Ok. Please stop bombarding Michelle over at AaronDouglasFans concerning the bit we posted on 6/15/08 about Tyrol killing Lee. She's sure it's a joke so don't email her anymore. We're hardly buying into it either, but but thanks to the "kill Cally" references Aaron managed to drop in long ago, we're still putting it out there. Either way, we're sure Aaron's enjoying a good laugh over the commotion we've caused. [6/21/08 Update: It wasn't "kill Cally." It was "dead Cally."] From AaronDouglasFans LiveJournal
6/17/08: Mary McDonnell mentioned wandering over to the Caprica set in a hospital gown with IV in tow and looking bald. The timing would seem to place this during filming of either episode 419 or 420 (series finale). From EW.com article [Sounds a lot like what she was wearing for the vision in "The Hub," but the mention of Caprica which just started filming indicates a late season appearance. This seems to be another strike against the rumors that Roslin dies not long after the mid-season break...unless she's just hanging around haunting Adama.]
6/15/08: Probably a foiler, but in a post by Aaron Douglas on June 10th [which is why we're tying it to this episode], he said, "Gotta run, have to go to set and kill lee adama.... whoops, was that out loud?" From FedConUSA Forum [As interesting as this is, we just can't buy it. Even though Aaron has managed to slip some other spoilers out there in plain sight before(Remember the "Kill Cally, Kill Cally" bit?).] [6/21/08 Update: It wasn't "kill Cally." It was "dead Cally."]
6/6/08: The two-part season finale might be stretched to three hours. From Jamie Bamber Interview
6/6/08: Shooting begins June 9th. From KoenigRules
4/20/08: Approximate shooting dates are June 5th - June 14th.
11/3/07: VFX supervisor Gary Hutzel has been told by Ron Moore to watch the FX budget because "there will be a full-on conflict at the end of the season. Develop the last two episodes, which are supposed to be gigantic, never before seen effects and also deliver fast, fast, fast, that's extremely hard." From VFX World [So if they find Earth sooner than "expected," then what is this battle? We're guessing it'll come down to pro-human Cylons and the fleet facing off against the anti-human Cylons in an effort to protect the thirteenth colony.]
