Battlestar Galactica Ends After Season Four - another well-written article.

I think the producers are doing the series justice. Too many shows are drawn out, and the story diluted, and then dumped before we get the end of the story.

With this decision, we can view the proper story arc & be privy to the ending, without a lame cancellation by TV Execs.

I actually like this concept. My DH and I were talking the other day about all the shows we get in to but never get a conclusion. I think even canceled shows should produce some kind of conclusion for the loyal fans who watched.

I hope we even get to see that. The channel that shows it here seems to think it a hoot to end the screening in the middle of a season and then pick it up again three or so months later on a different night of the week at a ridiculous time slot like 2AM! (Did I mention our video recorder is about to pack up on us and only records if it really feels like it). Most times we don't religiously scan the TV guide so it is several episodes before we realise BSG is back on. Grrrr! We have missed so much of this show, but not really enough to feel like getting the whole series out on DVD and watching some episodes over again. It's frustrating.

Elle, you might want to see if BSG is available for download from iTunes. I know a friend of mine does that with Heroes (another favorite of mine.)

Moe, yes, I still remember almost all the shows that I got into that were cancelled without "closure." It really makes me not want to get "into" new series.

I totally agree with you guys. As an example, I can't help thinking about how "The X-Files" would have left a better legacy if it had ended a few seasons sooner.

I totally agree with this. I know at the beginning of the season at least 1/2 if not more of the shows I get into will disappear.

We have the same problem up here with a show airing a few episodes and disappearing and coming back on a new day or time. I've actually give up on shows that do that. It annoys me.

Luckily Battlestar is not one of them. We watch it on the Space channel and last season they showed all 20(22) episodes right after one another. It was great. No repeats. Then they repeated the whole thing again. IN ORDER! Too bad all networks couldn't do the same thing.

The example of what not to do with a TV series was what happened with Babylon 5. A 5 year arc, which was threatened with being canceled at the last minute (literally) after season 4 -- then it was renewed. Unfortunately, it was written to satisfactorily end at S4, so S5 was a less than memorable season.

A lot of fans felt the same way about Farscape which is why they had to come back with a 2-hour movie to give some closure. I'm really looking forward to see what they do with BSG.

I'm also really looking forward to the last season of Battlestar Galactica, and glad to see that they choose to go out with a bang rather than a fizzle. And here it is... days away from March, and I still haven't heard of a premiere date?

We've seen previews for it to start in March but the Official website says April 4th.
