Battlestar Galactica DVD Box Set for Region 4 (Australia)
New report from Brent Hill at EzyDVD of Australia: "New DVD - R4 7 DISC version with Collectible Cylon head packaging - EXCLUSIVE! Great news! Universal has released 3000 DVDs into Australia and we have them all. They are 7 disc, with the silver Cylon head packaging. The cool part is the 7th disc. Here's the detail of what's on it: Special Exclusive Features On Disc 7: Collectible Packaging with Red Eye Lenticular, Deleted Scenes From Classic Episodes: Saga of a Star World (34.50), Gun on Ice Planet Zero (9.55), The Living Legend (12.14), Fire in Space (8.46), War of the Gods (21.59), Greetings from Earth (19.30), Baltar's Escape (6.38), The Hand of God (16.59), The Creation Of Battlestar Galactica: Glen Larson (5.40), Inside Battlestar Galactica (The Cylons-4.47), Working with Daggit (5.10), Photo gallery, and Documentary (44.54). A Sneak peak at Battlestar Miniseries (5.00). This, as far as we've seen, and Universal have told us, is exclusive. It doesn't appear anywhere else as far as we can tell. Just thought you may want to bring it to the attention of your members. We ship to the US and it's only A$134.95 at the moment plus shipping, so it works out pretty cheaply for you guys!" Many thanks to Brent Hill for the report.

A Continuation Script?
Battlestar Galactica fan RGrant has posted his own version of a continuation script: "Here's my work-in-progress that'll probably not progress anymore, but at least it's 100 pages, which is 80 more than I was planning on. After continuing on past Act One, my goal was to hit 130 pages, which with the font size I used would equal the length of one night of Moore's mini. 130 pages equals slightly more than 90 minutes of screen time. As I started working on it again, it was suddenly impossible to finish it in that length. If this is ever finished, it would have to be a four-hour mini too. If you already read Act One when I posted it last month, I took out the part about the Cylons bombing the Orion One colony and changed the name Phillips to Talbot." For the continuation script, be sure to visit RGrant's web site. Many thanks to RGrant for posting the report at Colonial Fleets.
