It’s sad, but true, Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica will definitely be its last. Producers David Eick and Ronald Moore have stated that they wanted to end the show on their own terms. They also revealed that Battlestar was always meant to have a definite beginning, middle and end, unlike other science fiction shows and dramas in the US, which don't usually have storylines that extend beyond individual episodes.

Although it will be sad to see it go, at least we won’t have to suffer watching a show’s premise stretched way beyond its use by date.

The first episode of Battlestar’s last season will air in the US in early 2008.
