Issue 4 of the Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine is a Titan Magazines publication released in March 2006 covering the Re-imagined Series.

Notes

  • This special yearbook edition was the only 100-page issue of the magazine aside from the Special/Miniseries issue, justifying its premium $9.99 price point.
  • The issue was timed to coincide with the conclusion of Season 2, which had been one of the most critically acclaimed seasons of the series.
  • Michelle Forbes' portrayal of Admiral Helena Cain in episodes "Pegasus" and "Resurrection Ship, Part I"/"Part II" had been a major storyline in the latter half of Season 2, making her a natural choice for a featured interview.
  • The 10-page season guide provided the most comprehensive episode coverage of any single issue of the magazine.
  • This yearbook format would not be repeated for subsequent seasons, making it a unique entry in the magazine's run.
  • Like all issues of The Official Battlestar Galactica Magazine, this publication featured full-color photography and production imagery.
