I was ridiculed by some when I posted this last month, but it's official, "Battlestar Galactica" is ending after next season, according to Variety

Quote:

Low-rated but critically worshipped Sci Fi Channel drama "Battlestar Galactica" will sign off next year after its fourth season, producers said Thursday.
Move isn't a stunner. Rumors about the show's fate have been swirling for months, and the skein had to fight to get renewed for a fourth season.
Despite some of the best reviews for any show on TV -- and a fiercely loyal fan base -- "Battlestar" is a very expensive show to produce, especially for a cable net. Sci Fi has tried to turn that buzz into bigger ratings, but the show never seemed to break out beyond a core niche.

It's core niche seems to be newspaper designers ...

Ridiculed? All I remember is someone posting a quote from the producers (I think) saying it may not be the final season.

Either way – I'm too lazy to go look it up – I'll be sad to see it go. Crying or Very sad

I guess sarcasm doesn't transfer well. Perhaps a label would work.

I was sarcasm>>>> ridiculed <<<<sarcasm by some ...

Nah, that doesn't seem to work either.

I don't get it.

Are you being sarcastic or not?

Evil or Very Mad

If you took away sarcasm, I would not be able to communicate.

Over at collider.com there's a 2-part video interview with BSG head honcho Ron D. Moore where he sheds a little more light on the final season of the show. Each part is about 6 minutes -

iesd.net reports of a possible BSG movie but original series creator, Glen A. Larson, holds the movie rights and is not a big fan of the re-imagined current version.

BSG chief Ron Moore really liked the Sopranos ending, does this mean anything for BSG? Probably not. You can read his comments at SciFi.com over here...
