According to reports, the upcoming fourth season of Battlestar Galactica may be it’s last:
March 20, 2007 — ‘BATTLESTAR Galactica” may be making its final landing after next year.
The creators of Sci Fi Channel’s acclaimed space opera are consider ing ending it after its fourth season, according to studio sources.
“Like many other serial dramas, such as ‘Lost‘ or ‘The Shield,’ these series have a beginning, a middle and an end,” says an insider at Universal, the studio that produces “Galactica.”
“Right now it seems to have become fashionable for the makers of these shows to talk about how and when they want their series to end.”
In recent months, the creators of “Lost,” ABC’s increasingly confusing island drama, have said they hope to end the series in about two years, but ABC brass has downplayed their statements.
“With any of these shows lately, it’s comes down to the basic struggle between business and creative,” says an official at a rival cable network.
“Galactica” is nearly done with its third season and Sci Fi execs are expected to inform advertisers tomorrow about when its fourth season will begin.
While it would be sad to see the show end, it’s better to go out on top than stretch things out for years on end just for the sake of making money, which seems to be what happened with more than one incarnation of Star Trek.
What? WHAT? WHAT?!?!?!
Crap. I guess, in their defense, I have to agree that it would be pretty ridiculous to just have the rag-tag fleet wandering around looking for Earth and running from the Cylons forever. That would get pretty stale eventually. I suppose that the thing to do is end it on their own terms before viewers get sick of it and if there’s enough demand they could continue with the plans for a spin-off with it’s own seperate story arc.
BSG is so cool I can’t believe it
TO be Honest BSG is a big waist of time and who ever watches it needs to get a life. I only watched one episode and after that I decided that I would rather watch paint dry.
Way to go with that consistent train of thought there Jordan
