LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The upcoming fourth season of Sci Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" will be its final one after all.

After months of speculation, the show's producers are set to make the announcement at a press conference Friday.

Ending "Battlestar" with the upcoming 22-episode fourth season was a creative decision made by the hit show's executive producers Ronald Moore and David Eick.

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

The fourth and final season of "Galactica" will kick off in November with "Razor," an extended two-hour episode, with the rest of the season slated to run beginning in early 2008.

Sci Fi executive vp original programming Mark Stern said the channel's brass "respect the producers' decision to end the series."

For months, Sci Fi had dispelled rumors about "Battlestar" ending its run after the fourth season.

A couple of weeks ago, one of the show's stars, Edward James Olmos, was quoted as saying that the upcoming batch of episodes were definitely the last ones. Sci Fi issued a statement denying such a decision had been made.

It's absolutely awful. Who can sit through their awful "films" with bad acting and plastic sets?

But that's just it. Battlestar was the one show they got right and now its going to end. I don't get it.

It certainly does and they could do so much more with that network. I could never follow Battlestar Galactica and I tried. Boy, I tried!

well according to the article that YOU just posted,
Sci-Fi isn't "cancelling" the show,
the producers have decided to end the series.

Believe me, i'm pissed off about it too,
because i love that show.

But Sci-Fi Channel doesn't want it gone,
the producers have decided
(just like the producers of the Sopranos and Deadwood)
that the show has run it's course
and they want to go out on top.

they had a Heroes marathon; they can't be all bad.

I've had serious issues with Sci-Fi channel ever since they basically sabatoged - then cancelled - a fantastic, smart program like Mystery Science Theater 3000 but continue airing garbage movies and endless, tired reruns of X-Files.

If Ed Wood were still alive, he would be making movies for Sci-Fi Channel.

I used to watch the scifi channel all the time..I loved it even the bad acting....I hardly watch it now, but I do on the weekends.

Hey, DinoCroc was quality stuff

I miss watching Tripping the Rift.

I also hate watching Doctor Who on there because of all the damn commercials. I had heard that they actually cut out scenes to make room for more commercials, but I don't know if that's just a rumor or not.

..and if they really had balls, they'd run "Torchwood", too. I don't see them picking it up at all, though. Too risque for them, I'd imagine.

I used to watch doctor who...then they switched to another man and I stopped

Tennant is really quite good. You should give him another chance.

JediTodd said:

he was cute too, but I just stopped for some reason...ok, I will give him a chance.

JediTodd said:

True! Very very true! I never watch DW on SFC...


The ONLY show I watch on SFC now is The Dresden Files but the season has ended for that and I'm still waiting to see if it will be renewed.

unlucky7 said:

Yeah, Tennant is a MUCH better doctor than Eccelston, imo. He played him like a manic depressive and I absolutely hated that aspect. Tennant has it just about right.

Otoh, I loved Rose but am not so fond of Martha AT ALL.

jtfolden said:

Martha is okay, but yeah...I liked Rose better. And her mother was a riot!

I'm still waiting for a McGann/Eccleston/Tennant team-up.

JediTodd said:

Yeah, Martha is "okay" and that's pretty much the extent of it. While watching the Human Nature episode last Saturday I realized the big difference between Martha and Rose. Rose always stood out. You could easily see why she was the companion vs everybody else. With Martha, I don't feel that's the case. If she weren't there, I don't think it would make a bit of difference.



Russell T. Davies has stated, IIRC, that he doesn't like multi-doctor stories.

Otoh, rumors are that he will be leaving the production after the 4th season so perhaps the person that takes over will feel differently.

I was talking to my brother about this. When the Sci-Fi channel first started they used to show some real good ole skool horror flicks, some commentary programs and ofcourse the Mystery Science Theater. But what happened???? Sci-Fi posted a message on their website they were getting complaints about the number of horrors shows, so then they started showing stupid comedy sci-fi really awful movies and cut out the commentary programs.

They show Star Gate 24/7 and I HATE that show, and all the shows they run are terrible and their original programs and movies are just bad bad bad.
