Galactica Season Four News

Originally it was announced that SciFi Channel would only renew Battlestar Galactica for a 13 episode fourth season. Now it looks like they are going forth with a whole 22 episode season plus a movie that will air on SciFi Channel and will hopefully be better than all of those b-rated movies they seem to show (c’mon SciFi Channel! I can write better movies!).

Honestly, as much as I love this show I hope the fourth season is the last season. It will allow them to wrap things up, for the fans to anticipate a finality they never got with excellent shows like Firefly, Space: Above and Beyond or even the ill-fated Enterprise. It would allow the show to end on its own terms instead of being suddenly cut off. Plus it can go into syndication and I garuntee the DVD sales alone will make a fortune.

No one likes a good thing to end but its even worse to flog a dead horse and Galactica is far, far from dead. I’ve always said its better to leave a party while the party is still good. I can’t wait to see just how good this party is going to get.
