We all know that the upcoming season of Battlestar Galactica will be its last, but fans may have something else to cry about.

There’s a strong possibility that the final season will be split into two parts, the first airing in March of 2008 and 2009.  Fans are already suffering through an 18 month hiatus as we speak.

Now, nothing is officially set in stone…the comment, which you can read about here, was said in semi-jest, but if it’s true, it’s a terrible idea.  Nothing will kill a show like hiatuses (hiati…what’s the plural of hiatus?) , as evidenced by Jericho this year.  Asking fans to wait a year and a half, followed by another 12 months will destroy any momentum that the show manages to build.
