If you’re a fan, then you’ve done the following:

1. Watched Season 1 & 2.0 on DVD
2. Watched the web-only episodes of The Resistance (up to Episode 9 now)
3. Fell in love with Tricia Helfer (ok…maybe just me)
4. Bought and are watching Season 2.5 on DVD currently
5. Watched The Story so Far web primer
6. Told everyone you know it’s the greatest show EVER!

There is also great stuff with podcasts, video blogs and more. For now though, check out this interview with Producer Ronald D. Moore about the upcoming Season 3.

What are you trying to do with the upcoming season?

Moore: Well, a lot of it was informed by where we ended the second season, which we ended with them down on a planet with the Cylons a year later in our narrative, with the Cylon occupation beginning on New Caprica. Now, the remaining [Colonial] ships are out there someplace, trying to figure out a way to get back and rescue the people down on New Caprica. The show is going to deal with suicide bombing, it’s going to deal with issues of security and freedom, and it’s going to deal with issues of collaboration in a time of war and freedom of speech.

We’re going to be going through some pretty tough stuff this season. We’re going to lose some people along the way, and there are some beloved characters that are not going to make it all the way through the season. But we’re also going to get some victories that we’ve never gotten before, and we’re going to get an insight into the Cylon society by doing a long-running story inside a Cylon base ship for the first time: We’ll get a firsthand look at how they operate and what they’re all about. I think it’s a really interesting season.

The series was created five years ago, in the aftermath of 9/11. It’s been interesting to see how the show is paralleling the events and issues in the real world, only in the context of the struggle between the Colonials and the Cylons.
