LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The upcoming fourth season of Sci Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" will be its final one after all.
After months of speculation, the show's producers are set to make the announcement at a press conference Friday.
Ending "Battlestar" with the upcoming 22-episode fourth season was a creative decision made by the hit show's executive producers Ronald Moore and David Eick.
"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and, finally, an end," Eick and Moore said in a statement Thursday. "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. 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."
The fourth and final season of "Galactica" will kick off in November with "Razor," an extended two-hour episode, with the rest of the season slated to run beginning in early 2008.
Sci Fi executive vp original programming Mark Stern said the channel's brass "respect the producers' decision to end the series."
For months, Sci Fi had dispelled rumors about "Battlestar" ending its run after the fourth season.
A couple of weeks ago, one of the show's stars, Edward James Olmos, was quoted as saying that the upcoming batch of episodes were definitely the last ones. Sci Fi issued a statement denying such a decision had been made.
Ugly chick with gun acting in story with insipid plot primarily ripped off from bad episodes of Star Trek surrounded by people talking in wierd voices. Farscape sucked.
Of course even if it didn’t suck the ratings were tanking, the show was expensive, and SciFi Channel didn’t have a lot of money. That particular 1-2-3 always leads to the cancelation of a show.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
So does this mean that Galatica and the rest of the fleet show up here in 2008? Or maybe we should ask them to setup on Mars and we’ll refresh their supplies as long as they take a few of us over....
I wonder if its too late for me to learn to fly a Raptor????
;D
I was watching the HD version and finally got sick of it. Too much character development and not enough plot. It’s time for this show to die.
I remember following BSG way back in it’s first season, and even then they seemed to be having great difficulties moving along.
Wasn’t there a movie a while back where a woman had a gun for a leg?
They’re running out of ideas.
Yeah, I was hoping Painkiller Jane wouldn't suck, but my prayers were unanswered, because that show SUCKS!
Why? Because it keeps it from jumping the proverbial shark. We'll get resolution of the plot without it completely becoming "Galactica 90210".
It's already lasted longer than the original BSG, without the cinematic abortion that was "Galactica 1980". (shudder)
