CaP'N GRuNGe Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 'Battlestar Galactica': Say it ain't frakkin so! Sad but true: "Battlestar Galactica" will end its run next year after its fourth and final season. After weeks of speculation, the end is in fact near. According to a high level source at Sci Fi Channel parent company NBC Universal, the show will dock after its next 22-episode season, slated to kick off in early 2008. Sources say the decision came down from executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, who are said to feel creatively like this upcoming arc will be its last. Rumors began circulating this month when two "Battlestar Galactica" stars, Edward James Olmos and Katee Sackhoff, referred to the next season as the show's swan song while attending the annual Saturn Awards. “It’s the final season, so it’s definitely going to be the most vicious,” Olmos told reporters. “As far as we know, in respects of the way we have this show constructed, this is the final season.” Sci Fi Channel is expected to announce the news as soon as this afternoon. UPDATE: Minutes after this was posted, Sci Fi Channel sent us the press release confirming the show is ending. See what Eick and Moore have to say after the jump... "This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and finally, an end. Over the course of the last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward that end and we've decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude the show on our own terms," Eick and Moore said in the statement. "And while we know our fans will be saddened to know the end is coming, they should brace themselves for a wild ride getting there –- we're going out with a bang ." -- Denise Martin (Photo courtesy NBC Universal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I have have enjoyed BSG, but last season I thought it lost its focus. It's probably a good thing that it ends with season four because the writers will be able to create endings for all the sub-plots that have sprung up along the way.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 I rented the mini-series a couple months back and have been meaning to catch up on the rest of it but have not yet. I think I may start using my Netflix account to do so this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
