It's been rumored for at least a month, but finally officially folks have acknowledged that next year's Battlestar Galactica will be the end.

The producers of SCI FI Channel's Battlestar Galactica confirmed that the upcoming fourth season will be the show's last. Executive producers Ronald Moore and David Eick said that it was a creative decision to end the acclaimed series with the upcoming 22-episode season.

"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and, finally, an end," Eick and Moore said in a statement on May 31. "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. 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."


In many ways, I'm quite happy, because it means that BG will *get* its beginning, middle and *end*. And from where we were at the end of next season, it really looked like they were moving toward an ending.

Which just leaves us to speculate where the last season will go. Why, that ultimate episode was a doozie.

Are are secret four really cylons? (I think so.)

Are they going to find Earth? (I think so.)

Will there be a civil war among the cylons at the end? (I think so.)

Will the Earth they find still be stuck in the 1960s? (I dunno. I don't think it's going to be modern day, that's for sure; I could see past or future.)

It doesn't really say a lot, but there's a new interview up at scifi.com:

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."
