BSG Split?
Any Battlestar fan will cringe when they read this:
According to reports from the “Battlestar Galactica” panels at DragonCon, it appears SCI FI is considering splitting the final season of the hit show into two halves…with a long wait in between. If the rumor is true, SCI FI would air the first ten episodes of season four in Febuary of 2008 and then take a hiatus until February of 2009 to air the final ten episodes, according to a report at Buddy TV.
Before you come completely unglued and go Cylon on your co-workers and friends, remember this is just a rumor coming out of DragonCon. We’ve had no official confirmation from The SCI FI Channel that they would do this or wouldn’t do this.
Hopefully, if SCI FI is considering this move, the swell of fan protest might cause them to reconsider the position or realize that ten episodes a year just isn’t enough for the fandom. And how they could easily destroy the momentum and goodwill the fans and critics have given them for “Battlestar Galactica.”
If they released the whole series on DVD tomorrow I’d probably buy it at any price. Which proves that models that call for them to drag out a series as long as possible… don’t work. I’m willing to pay money, and they won’t listen.
I’m angry, but it isn’t a deal breaker since I wait a year for 13 episodes of Doctor Who. This will just be one more show I’ll have to sit on my hands and wait for….

I have been trying to spread the word about the letter writing campaign that has started. If you go to my blog there you will see a copy of the letter and address of where to send it to. Please spend a few minutes to do this and tell your friends to do the same.
