Battlestar Galactica's End Officially After Season 4
Ant writes "First it was off, and then it was back on. Yahoo is now reporting on a release put out by David Eick and Ronald Moore stating that they will conclude Battlestar Galactica at the end of Season 4. They said it was a creative decision, and that they wanted to end the show on their own terms. The show was always planned with a definite beginning, middle and end, unlike many other sci-fi shows and dramas. Sci Fi Channel has accepted the decision. The news had been foreshadowed this spring through statements from stars Edward James Olmos and Katee Sackhoff. Ronald Moore himself had said that the show was heading into its final act, although he said the final act could be one or two more seasons. Now we know that the final act will last for one season. The special 2-hr. episode 'Razor' starts off the season in November. The first regular episodes of Season 4 will air in early 2008."
Then executive producter David Eick directly contradicts Olmos and says that Battlestar is an open-ended adventure and that Season 4 WON'T be the final season, but there is the possibility of having more seasons. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/12/124725 6
Now, David Eick (and Ronald Moore) says, Oh, JK, what I actually meant to say is that we have no idea what we're doing and we finally decided that Battlestar really is going to end after Season 4. I enjoy watching this show and the fact that its confirmed to end will hopefully make it interesting as they now have the freedom to kill off major characters and finally give the viewers the definitive end they've been waiting for, but with this kind of mis-management, who knows what will happen.
Stay tuned for more post-season drama as we discover that nobody at Battlestar Galactica knows what the hell is going on with their own show...
File Deletion is Murder.
FRACK! This leaves a big whole in the Sci-Fi channel line up.
A big whole what?
This guy's the limit!
Let's just hope there aren't flying motorbikes there!
Humans: NOOOOOO0000ES!
Only three things are certain; death, taxes, and apocryphal quotations - Ben Franklin.
For the last four years, it's been the case that if you're stuck in a hole, the chances are it has a W in it. I think that's why people now spell "hole" "whole".
And they're finally going to let the writers in on it!

They find earth and all earthlings turn out to be cylons, except CowboyNeal. No cylon could edit that poorly.

Unfortunately, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, BOTH fleets are eaten by a small dog.
As long as Starbuck doesn't find Patrick Duffy in her shower, we'll be fine.

So Tricia Helfer would then be my mother? Damn you! I'll never be able to fantasize about her again!
Now, what did I do with my analyst's phone number?
Naww, earth is just every-day modern day earth. They'll find it. When they realize we spend most of our time on slashdot and obsessing about tv shows both the cylons and the humans will turn away in disgust.

Wow, congrats, you poked a whole in the premise behind made-up technology in a fictional universe. What will be your next trick? A thrilling deconstruction of the infeasibility of humaniform cylons? Maybe an exposition on the impossibility of FTL drives?
I'm going to have to ask you to kindly shut the frell up. Too right. What a smeghead.

Or I could just mock your spelling but that might be a bit dickish.
Not to mention about as clever as your original post.
If they land on the planet, exhausted from battle and hoping to find a new home, only to get a snarled "The boat's full, we don't want any more aliens to steal our jobs".
Now that would be a way to end it with a bang!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I'd pay money to see her find Claudia Black or Amanda Tapping in her shower though! ;-)
Add to that list:
How did Seven, after returning from the Delta Quadrant, get all the way to Carpica?
What caused her to forget about her Delta Quadrant adventures?
Why did she increment her name by 1?
Dude...its BSG, not sex.
Leave the poor guy alone, he's married. BSG is as close as he's gonna get...
I bet if they used SFTP engines instead the cylons would have a harder time hacking into their computers.
