Nothing terribly special, as trailer go, but it does seem that

Gaeta and Zarek are going to be having an interesting time of it.

Also, the new episodes will start airing on January 16th. So say we all!

Yes, seems it was. :eek:  
I can’t wait for this, it looks wonderfully overangsty and like a good big bang to the end of the series. I will be very sad when it’s gone.

I’m extremely eager to see how they pull a credible ending out of the corner they seem to have written themselves into. The reports of cast members being blown away/moved to tears by their scripts indicates they’ve done it - I want the proof!

I’m very happy to see that the season premiere is in January and not March as I feared it would be. Anyone know how many eps we have left? Will the miniseries air over the summer?

No - read it in another thread here so don’t take my word for it.

With Saul using the line from All Along the Watchtower, does that mean that the song carries a hidden meaning for the end or is it just a throwback to the Final Five hearing it?

There are ten left, one having been filmed before the writer’s strike and the other nine being filmed afterward.

I haven’t heard anything about when the movie will air.

Would someone tel me the signifigance of the (spoiler below)

Admiral Adama in a blindfold?

Apparent President Roslin will attempt to airlock Adama (it’s the outer space version of lynching). It could be a dream sequence. Or it could be real.
