This season has 22 hours.

From Ain't It Cool News, and TV Week, it's being reported that BSG's 4th season has now officially been expanded to an order of 22 episodes. According to TV Week, that's 20 episodes, plus the 2 hour DVD movie, making a total of 22 hours. TV Week says the DVD film will air on Sci-Fi in the 4th quarter of 2007. Ain't It Cool News goes further and speculates that the movie's plot will center around the happenings on the Battlestar Pegasus just before and after the original attack on the 12 colonies. However, there is not any official confirmation on that yet. Thanks to reader Bret for sending in the information.
