Well, looks like David Eick didn’t confirm Edward James Olmos‘ statement… but he didn’t outright deny it either.

Hmm…

Still, I would rather have BSG end this season, rather than having two seasons with mediocre “filler” episodes. Makes for tighter story telling — just look at Babylon 5’s fourth season. Half the season ends the Shadow War, the other half deals (and ends) the Earth Civil War, and it still had character development to boot.

Moore… Eick… Give JMS a ring, will ya? Seriously.

So, yes, it’s been confirmed that Battlestar Galactica will have one final season, which will air in 2008.

I’m rather pleased with this news myself, seeing as most shows overstay their welcome with the audience. Most stories or shows just don’t know when to end, and just fizzle out. Like Sliders, Star Trek: The Next Generation, The X-Files (with the story that really went nowhere very, very slowly) and, most recently, Stargate SG-1.
In light of the announcement, I feel much better about the quality of the show’s fourth season, since I feel that the creative force behind the show will put their balls to the wall and produce some amazing hours of television.

I’m now psyched.  We now have 24 hours of Battlestar Galactica left before the end. w00t!
