Syfy Is Set To Entertain You With Marathons Of ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ And
‘Battlestar Galactica’

Syfy is delivering two full-series marathons to help get your mind off of
the state of the world– ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ and ‘Battlestar Galactica’.

Syfy will air all six seasons of ‘Xena’– 134 episodes– on Thursdays, with
star Lucy Lawless serving as host. ‘Xena’ will run during mornings and
afternoons, with Lucy providing “host wraps.” Syfy also promises “special
surprise guest appearances.” Intrigued? The ‘Xena marathons are sponsored
by Syfy Fangrrls. This event kicks off on Thursday, April 16.

While ‘Xena’ is being broken up, ‘Battlestar Galactica’ will air for three
days straight in one large chunk. Tricia Helfer (Number Six) will host, but
once again, Syfy promises “surprise guest appearances.” Syfy will air all
four seasons– 76 episodes– plus the two-part miniseries that kicked the
whole thing off, and the movies ‘Razor’ (set between Seasons 3 and 4) and
‘The Plan’ (set after the series). This event kicks off on Monday, April 20
at 12 am EST and will run through Thursday, April 23 at 9 am EST. This
marathon is sponsored by Syfy Wire.

]Lucy was on BSG from 2005 to 2008 as D'Anna Beirs, a Cylon (#3)
infiltrator posing as a video journalist/reporter.]

This is a perfect opportunity for those that missed out the first time (or
weren’t alive the first time) to check out these groundbreaking series.

The shows couldn’t be more different. ‘Xena’ was a campy fantasy romp,
while ‘Battlestar Galactica’ was a surprisingly sophisticated update of a
campy ’70s romp.

If you don’t want to live-watch, both ‘Xena’ and ‘Battlestar Galactica’ will
also be available on Syfy.com and NBCU’s OneApp. Also available on Syfy.com
is ‘Battlestar Galacticast’, a podcast hosted by Helfer and
writer/journalist Marc Bernardin. On Monday, April 20, there will be a
special bonus episode which features a reunion of cast members Edward James
Olmos, James Callis, Jamie Bamber, Katee Sackhoff, Michael Trucco, Rekha
Sharma and more, plus a live-reading of the pilot episode, “33”.

Another source says that Renee will show up, just not how often
or when. But at least she'll be there. and, probably, during the morning
airings while I am at work. bummer
