Battlestar Galactica's End Officially After Season 4

Posted by Zonk on from the on-their-own-terms-is-better-than-the-alternative dept.

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."

  1. Not a tabloid this time... by Oink · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Hopefully this is more reliable than the Doctor Who drivel that was posted here yesterday or the day before.

    Sad to see it go, its been fun while it lasted. But its better that they end on their own terms than dragging out several seasons more...
