Battlestar Galactica to end next season

Tuesday, June 12, 2007

This totally sucks. I really would have followed this show 10 seasons like a Star Trek TNG. It seems that some people just don’t have faith that this show could go the distance and since the main one is leader Ron Moore, then everyone naturally assumes the ship will sink.

Ron Moore, executive producer of SCI FI Channel’s Battlestar Galactica, said that he and fellow executive producer David Eick are planning to send the series off on a note of finality at the end of the coming fourth season. “The plan is to end the show,” Moore said in a conference call on June 1. “The plan is to bring us to a definitive conclusion. There’s no plans or thoughts in our heads, really, of then doing a follow-up feature or any series or anything beyond that.”

Moore and Eick announced on May 31 that they would wrap the acclaimed series at the end of the upcoming fourth season and elaborated on their decision in a call with journalists a day later.

Moore said that he and the writers have been thinking about how they wanted to end the series since the middle of the second season and began talking seriously about the conclusion toward the end of the third.

“Those ideas about where we were headed and what it all meant started to really sort of coalesce over the course of the third season,” Moore said. “And in between seasons four and three is when we started talking in earnest about ‘OK, if we do end it next year, what would it really be?’ And it just felt like, yeah, this is the right time to do it. … We’re really sort of taking our cues from the story itself, and it just feels like the story has moved forward aggressively.”

At least their going to wrap things up nicely so the DVD sets will be like a very long movie. i actually like that a whole loit better then when a series is going and poof…it’s gone.

Still, this sucks…
