For some time now, at least some members of the press and other media outlets have had an early copy of the fourth season premiere of Battlestar Galactica. This season, however, Sci Fi has made everyone sign and adhere to an embargo agreement, making us keep our traps shut about anything at all to do with the screener until today.

I'm not going to reveal what I consider spoilers here, though I will warn you that I will discuss some key plot points below. Consider yourself warned.

Ron Moore has offered a few new spoilers with regards to season 4 of Battlestar Galactica. Much of it can be determined from a two-page spread in Entertainment Weekly (the one with Matthew Fox on the cover). Or you can see the two-page spread directly from here.

I know that in today's Internet-laden society, it's tough for anything entertainment-related to remain secret, but it sure says something when the creator of the show offers goodies about the show's final season.

Spoilers after the jump...

If you are one of the few people who haven't watched ABC's Lost yet and want to start this coming season but don't want to have to watch the DVD sets for the three previous seasons, ABC just put online what you seek: the ultimate Lost recap!

Narrated by a hyper woman, this 8 minutes and 15 seconds recap (get it? 815...) will not only bring those who never watched the show up-to-date but also help hard-core fans remember what happened since Flight 815 crashed.

Those of you who have been diligently sending Mars candy bars to Dawn Ostroff, head of CW programming to save Veronica Mars from permanent cancellation may want to hold off on the next shipment when you hear what creator Rob Thomas has to say. In a recent newspaper interview Thomas pretty much said that VM is over for good as a television series.

Oh, he's not upset with the fans for trying. In fact, according to the interview, he loves that the fans have been making this all-out effort to renew the show. It's just that the CW's Ostroff doesn't get to make the final call if the show stays or not. That call is made by sister company CBS. Thomas believes that head honcho Les Moonves doesn't want to continue the show.

Damon Lindelof played a game of "False, True, or Hell No I Won't Tell You" with E! Online's Kristin. I'm not sure that what he reveals in the interview can be counted as spoilers, since he's the co-creator and exec producer of the show and I would think he'd avoid spoiling anything about next season, but if you're one of those people that don't like to know a single solitary thing about a show, do not click the link. Those interested in the (vague) direction Lost is headed next year, follow me after the jump!
