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."

Crappy ending redux

Ooh, ooh! Maybe in the last episode, all the cast members could listen to some Jimi Hendrix music and decide that they're ALL CYLONS! And the colonies weren't really destroyed--it was just some kind of CRAZY hallucination, like Starbuck really being dead! Then the series finale could suck as many balls as the season 3 finale!

Let us be thankful that our great show, that turned to shit, wont hit rock bottom before they decide to end it. I am happy to hear that it will be ending after this season because that means they ahve to actually advance the story instead of making filler episodes that brought the series down the last couple seasons.

FRACK!...I hope they can find a worthy successor.

As long as that successor doesn't use stupid, invented words like "FRACK" to mimic vulgar language, I'm hope so, too.

Beets, Bears, Battlestar Galactica

"Do you watch Battlestar Galactica?"

"No"

"No? Then you're an idiot."

It'd have been a shame to have to watch that show go into the toilet

That's where it started. I've got just one word to describe how I feel about it ending. Yay!
And I pray it never goes into syndication... It was like a stupid daytime soap with special effects. It belonged on the Sci-Fi channel like that WWE or WWF or whatever that "Wraslin" crap was. They can both sink down the toilet like the turds they are. I'd even give'em the old double flush just to make sure they don't float to the surface again.
oops I think that was more that one word though...

Re:future tech

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? Or I could just mock your spelling but that might be a bit dickish.
