Slashdot confirms the fluctuating rumor of Galactica's end - detailing a press release which states creative reasons for ending the show "on their own terms".
I think it's probably a good idea. If they want to extend the franchise, spinoffs will probably do more justice to the storyline than trying to stretch this one out. Lost is a great example of what can happen to your premise when you do things like add Nikki and Paolo into it.
I am happy about this. It means my DVD collection won't be so expensive to complete, and it means the 4th season should have plenty in it.
ReplyDeleteSeason 3 had too many slow parts.
The only thing that concerns me is that I understand they are getting a lot less funding per episode due to the low ratings. I hope it doesn't show too badly.
I was so oblivious to BG's declining ratings. S3 was definately not as strong as either season before it, but I do think it ended well and look forward to seeing S4 close out the story.
ReplyDeleteI think the comic book syndrome has finally latched onto TV serials. They just should not last for extended periods of time.
ReplyDeleteI like my comic books in the form of graphic novels, and I want my TV/Movies the same way: A definite beginning, a satisfying end. And if there happens to be another semi-related book in the series, then okay, I'll check it out.
Thus, I think this is a great thing for Battlestar.
