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.

But only FOUR seasons?
Certainly the story could go for more. I understand the need to “die” while still strong, but I get the sense that this show still has two or three seriously good seasons left. Keep it entertaining, keep it real, and choose to end the series just after it crests, not before.

The only problem there is that the “ratings” (which studios pay more attention to than quality) are slipping ever so slightly. I agree that they could easily go on for several more seasons if the story took them that far, and I would watch it to the end even of it started sucking. From a personal POV, I’m worried they’ll get into some New Caprica storyline again and from there it really will suck…

[...] official: BSG will end with the full fourth season. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Though I wish it would go on and on. [...]
