Battlestar gone for now....?

[Mike in Cincy]

So this ended up being a "mid-season finale". But no announcement of when it will return. I heard a rumor that it won't be back until 2009. Anyone else have any news?

What did you think of the finale?

The SciFi channel pres. has said the show will come back in the first quarter of 2009. They are also prepping as many as 3 made-for-TV movies, one of which should shoot this year. Finally, the series finale will likely end up at 3 hours instead of the standard 1. While the long wait kind of sucks, it looks like it may be time well spent.

3 battlestar movies? or just scifi movies of another subject?

These guys simply deliver. Whatever it is it will be worth the wait. A 3-hour finale? Can you imagine what they will do? Unreal.

My question is: can the last season of "The Shield" approach a similar standard? Or has it been too long?

3 BSG movies. The first one will probably take place during season one because the actor who plays Helo is currently shooting another movie and would likely be unavailable. Since Helo was on New Caprica at the time, all is well. I don't know anything about the other two though.

Am I confused about something? Didn't they show a preview of the next episode?

Alls I know is that this summer finale kicked butt. That was one great episode.

They are currently filming the final episodes so it's very possible you saw a clip from the next episode.

Spoiler:

Was I the only one that was glad to see that they landed on a post-apocalyptic Earth? I'm currently running on the theory that the "final five" are the cylon survivors from Earth. Earth independently developed their own cylons who rebelled and the rebellion destroyed the planet.
