All those rumors about the ScFi Channel splitting up the final season of Battlestar Galactica into a “season” that spans two years are apparently true:
Battlestar Galactica fans are well-advised to sit back and savor this Friday’s midseason finale, because the balance of Season 4 — the series’ last, lest we forget — won’t be hitting the tube until after “the first of the year,” says executive producer Ronald D. Moore. And that’s a best-case scenario.
At a Wednesday-night screening of this week’s episode, Moore explained to TVGuide.com that even though they are currently filming the series’ final scenes, the “practical realities” of post-production — coupled with the formidable end-of-year competition presented by new fall series, baseball and football — places the onset of the final episodes at the start of 2009, at the earliest. “Realistically, there’s no way to get back on the air faster,” he apologetically added.
On the bright side, I now have three reasons to look forward to January 2009
- 24, Season 7
- BSG, Season 4.5; and,
- The end of the most embarressing and painful Republican Presidency of my adult life.
But still, crap.

Dirk,
I didn’t realize they had net access on a desert planet.
Last time I checked that’s where the “other” Starbuck was left
