Battlestar Galactica
Season 3 Spoilers: in of course Inviso-Text, (highlight to reveal)

The following information is gathered from various sites including:
— Official SciFi Channel Battlestar Galactica Website & Forum
— Galactica Actual (offline)
— Gateworld: Battlestar Galactica
— Hangar Deck 5
— Various publicity articles and cast/crew interviews.

Despite efforts to filter out unreliable content, this information can be considered RUMOR and subject to change or otherwise inaccurate. In a effort to track spoilers a bit, Season 3 spoilers will actually be dated.

All spoilers that are posted will stay posted (though they will be edited for clarification when additional information warrants) in an effort to have a track record (good and bad), rather than revisionist history. That said, seemingly innocuous details like which supporting characters are still around will continue to be included and not be edited out as an episode moves closer to air. There are fans of various supporting characters and are interested when they appear. An example is the spoiler that Helo appears in the third season's first episode, which was first reported about half way through the airing of Season 2.5.

General Spoilers:

7/13/06: Season 2.5 DVD is available for order NOW.
6/20/06: Season 2.5 DVD is to be released September 19th.
4/12/06: As was the case in Vichy France in WWII, there will be a lot of collaborators and those who play both sides.
4/12/06: Lee will be "fat" for the first 5 episodes.
4/12/06: The fleet will be more of a factor in the storyline in episode 4 and return fully for episode 5.
4/12/06: The occupation will be dealt with by episode 4.
4/12/06: In addition to the death in Episode 4, there are to be other "significant" deaths over the first part of the season, so some recurring characters are likely to bite the dust.
3/31/06: Ronald D. Moore last week confirmed that Zarek is Baltar's Vice-President, but their relationship soured quickly. Zarek stopped cooperating altogether beginning with the Cylon occupation [Thanks to Eric for passing this one along.]
3/10/06: There will be an ongoing story arc dealing with the Cylons, which will center on the Cylon homeworld. The use of a parallel storyline sounds similar to the Helo/Sharon Caprica storyline from the first season and early second (2.0) season episodes. The first seeds of this story arc were probably planted in Episode 2.18 (Downloaded) and furthered by the Caprica Cavil in Episode 2.20 (LDYB, Pt 2).
3/10/06: The plot point about Leoben looking for Kara will take three episodes to be tied up.
3/10/06: The Cylon occupation will be dealt with in either the first four or first six episodes of the season.
3/10/06: Kara, Tigh and Roslin will put together a resistance that echos Vichy France of WWII.
3/10/06: Episodes will begin airing on on SciFi in October, not July.
2/21/06: Episodes will begin airing on on SciFi in July.
2/21/06: Season 3 picks up the storyline [immediately] from the end of Season 2. [Update: Apparently not. It will pick up 4 months after Season 2.]
2/21/06: According to Aaron Douglas, six teleplays have already been completed.
2/21/06: According to Aaron Douglas, filming begins on April 10th.
Filming starts April 3rd (?)
The Cylons will have some internal turmoil of their own and perhaps find that they are more like humanity than they had believed.

A D'Anna Biers model [Webmaster's note: the one killed by Reborn Caprica/Baltar Six?] will claim to be the Cylon God [Webmaster's note: 'leader' might be a better term], which leads to some factions developing in the Cylon culture.

Lucy Lawless has signed to appear in ten episodes in Season 3.
Kara's "missing ovaries" will be a major plot point in Season 3.
