BSG to end after season 4?

[Target]

A friend has just told me that season 4 will be the last, is this true? What Sci-fi (space based) will that leave on TV?

[Ziroc]

Yeah, I saw that too.. Seems like all we'll have is Bionic Women (which premeres in the Fall) and Stargate Atlantis...


Eh.... I am re watching TNG and Voyager in Spike TV.. the commercials are so lame though.

Oh dear
I also read that the people behind Stargate are thinking about planning a third show, mind you I've only seen bits of season 1 of Atlantis.

Third Stargate Show Developing?

Robert C. Cooper, executive producer of SCI FI Channel's Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, confirmed to SCI FI Wire that he's developing a third series with the working title Stargate Universe, but remained mum on details. (The project has not yet been picked up by any network, including SCI FI Channel.)

"It's being developed," Cooper said in an interview on the Vancouver, Canada, set of the two series. "Not a lot to say at the moment, other than it's ... not the characters from SG-1 or Atlantis. It's a completely third entity. The third series is born of the mythology that's been established."

SG-1 will draw to a close after 10 seasons with the episode titled "Unending," airing June 22. Atlantis is currently finishing up its third season and will return with a fourth season later this year.

Cooper added that the proposed third series will take place in the present day. "One thing that we think contributes to the success of [all of] the series and the concept behind the series is that it takes place in the here and now. ... It's about us and our age of people dealing with fantastic things, like Stargates and wormholes and aliens. And then there's an identifiable quality to the people in the show. It's not like an antiseptic version of humanity sometime 500 years in the future. [SG-1's] Jack O'Neill [Richard Dean Anderson] was a guy who everybody could relate to, and his reactions to the more fantastic elements of the series were the reactions the average Joe on the street might have."

SG-1 and Atlantis executive producer Paul Mullie added: "It's all top secret."

Either that, added fellow executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, or "it just hasn't been written yet. I'm not sure which." —Melissa J. Perenson

Not really interested in even more Stargate, but I'm glad BSG might end after season 4. There's only so much you can do to drag out a storyline, and it should simply stop before overstaying its welcome.

That said, I'm still interested in season 4. [img]smile.gif[/img]

More stargate!? Huzzah!

Really, I love stargate. I never really watched it religiously, I'd watch it once in awhile, and then buy the seasons- so I'm dedicating this new stargate season (If it's good) to me watching it religiously.

More Huzzah!

I posted this a few days ago but it must not have worked.

It said I would recommend "not" using an acronim in the title of the post. At first I didn't what you were talking about. I'm guessing it's Battlestar Galactica, which would be BG though.

If it is that, I lost track of it. They changed it around on Space so much I couldn't find it anymore. The writing was nothing short of excellent though.
