I’ve never gotten into Battlestar Galactica as much as I should have.  I know that it has a huge following, and has received a lot of critical praise.  Maybe over the summer I’ll check out the DVD’s.

Anyway, SCI FI announced today that the upcoming fourth season will be the last for the show.  From the press release:

“This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and finally, an end. Over the course of the last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward that end and we’ve decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude the show on our own terms,” stated Eick and Moore. “On a personal level, it’s been a creative privilege and an honor for all of us who work on the show and we know we’ll be lucky to ever see its like again. And while we know our fans will be saddened to know the end is coming, they should brace themselves for a wild ride getting there – we’re going out with a bang.”

Personally, I think any time a show makes the decision to go out on top, a la Seinfield or Lost in a few years, it’s a good move.  BG fans should consider this a good move, rather than have the show fade away into obscurity.
