Galactica prepares for the end

'BATTLESTAR Galactica" may be making its final landing after next year.

The creators of Sci Fi Channel's acclaimed space opera are consider ing ending it after its fourth season, according to studio sources.

"Like many other serial dramas, such as 'Lost' or 'The Shield,' these series have a beginning, a middle and an end," says an insider at Universal, the studio that produces "Galactica."

"Right now it seems to have become fashionable for the makers of these shows to talk about how and when they want their series to end."

In recent months, the creators of "Lost," ABC's increasingly confusing island drama, have said they hope to end the series in about two years, but ABC brass has downplayed their statements.

"With any of these shows lately, it's comes down to the basic struggle between business and creative," says an official at a rival cable network.

"Galactica" is nearly done with its third season and Sci Fi execs are expected to inform advertisers tomorrow about when its fourth season will begin.

Sci Fi officials say that it is still too early to say when "Galactica" will end, but acknowledge its future is uncertain.

"At this point, we don't know," says Mark Stern, executive vice president of programming at Sci Fi. "It's still early days. We need to sit with [creators] Ron [Moore] and David [Eick] to hear what their plans are for that [fifth] season, and what they'd like to do about any future seasons."

"Galactica" is one of the hottest, most acclaimed and beloved shows on the NBC-owned cable channel.

It follows the adventures of a group of humans fleeing though space from a race of machines bent on their annihilation. But the series has also become one of the most politically informed shows on TV, filling its episodes with rich metaphors about war, race relations and prejudice.

well thats just fracking prime, end the BEST show on television after only four years. Well I can't complain overall though I'll be pissed if it is ended right after season four. Too many potential storylines for the survivors to explore and their eventual trip to earth and the discovery that earthers just plain suck ass. Shear classic right there.

Id rather they end it properly after 4 years than have them cut it after less than a season (Firefly) or after two seasons and a bloody cliff-hanger (Dark Angel), or start on a new story arch then end the whole show in a rush in the same season (Angel).

I've never watched BSG, it never caught my attention, but I understand how you'd be upset. It's pretty ridiculous to cancel a show in it's prime, but....it's better to end on a high note, than before it sinks into Lost territory.

Apparently die hard fans (at least some) are sick of it by now.
I would be too, how many intricate stories can you make about being stuck on an island?

Or cancel it a season early and then cram the entire final season into a four-hour mini-series (Farscape).

Most shows tend to go downhill after the 4th or 5th seasons anyway. (The X-Files is a great example)

I'd much rather see BSG go out on top than watch it drag out and eventually become a joke of what it originally began as.

I'm more than happy to see BSG go. I mean, it's nothing against the show, but more against SciFi. I hate them. They cancelled SG-1, and for that, they should suffer and pay...and their network should be taken off the air.

I aint seen the second series, but I watched the first and am currently working my way through the third. It's one of the best series around. Great character driven plots amongst the war epics. If they do cancel it, I hope Galactica goes out in a blaze of glory defending Earth from a Cylon invasion (the way ST:voyager SHOULD have ended). Or at least have a proper ending.
