Lampkin May Limp Back To 'Galactica' Finale

Miss that great defense attorney Romo Lampkin already? Well, fans may see more of Mark Sheppard again by the end of "Battlestar Galactica" as showrunners for the SciFi Channel series admit they are trying to get him back.

Sheppard originally played Lampkin in the tail-end of Season 3, defending Gaius Baltar (James Callis) in his treason trial. Lampkin's time on the show was supposed to be short-lived, but it's possible that the extremely positive fan reaction helped with Sheppard's return.

That's not the only thing fans have to look forward to when Season 4 finally premieres in 2008, according to TV Week. Starbuck may be back from the dead, but Katee Sackhoff won't be playing the same character everyone saw in the first three seasons of the show. In fact, Sackhoff won't be playing the character that was originally intended for the fourth season.

Sackhoff told fans at Comic-Con International in San Diego that the original plan was for Starbuck to be more serene, since she has seen the face of god and had also seen Earth. However, that just didn't work out, and now Starbuck will have moments of clarity, but will operate at an emotional state so much higher than what she had before.

All of that, of course, will help fuel the Adama-Starbuck conflict (it's not clear if this William or Lee), especially in the first episode.

Finally, when will fans finally get to learn who the fifth and final Cylon is? Get ready to wait, because executive producer Ronald D. Moore hinted that the final Cylon could be revealed as late as the series finale.

"Battlestar Galactica" returns with a telemovie "Razor" in November, and its fourth and final season in early 2008 on SciFi Channel. The show is up for a number of SyFy Genre Awards, including Best Series/Television.
