Los Angeles Times: Battlestar Galactica: Say it ain't frakkin so! (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2007/05/say_it_aint_fra.html)
"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and finally, an end. 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," Eick and Moore said in the statement. "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 ."
Anyone else happy to hear this news? It's always sad when a great show comes to an end, but what better way to end it than for the show to go out on its own terms? To make that decision and commit to nothing else but telling the story that needs to be told, and then giving the show a proper and dignified end.
Too many shows these days have a problem with ending their shows. They drag on and on only for profit and advertisement's sake.
I think creatively, setting a definite end for the show opens up a lot of creative freedom for the writers.
When they say they're gonna go out with a bang, I believe 'em. I haven't even gotten through all of Season 3 yet, but I can't wait to see what the final season is like. :D
