From Cinescape Online:
The executive producer of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, David Eick, sat down with Now Playing Magazine to talk about the upcoming third season of the show.
Eick confirmed that 20 episodes have been ordered and will be run continuously except for a break over the Christmas holiday.
Eick said, "The first three episodes are serialized. Episode Four is pretty much a standalone. Five and Six is a two-parter about the discovery of a dying base ship and a plague that has befallen the Cylons. Seven is standalone. Eight is a memory episode that goes back to that lost year and some of the things that took place. Nine is basically teeing up where we're going in the season finale, which is discovering the next big clue on the road to Earth. That is the centerpiece of the next episodes, the 10 and 11 two-parter".
The shows season arc hasn't been fully planned as of the interview, but Lucy Lawless, Richard Hatch, and Dean Stockwell are all returning to reprise their roles.
The pre-Christmas episodes are expected to run with the second season of DOCTOR WHO, while the second half of the season should run with STARGATE.
