Final season will contain 20 episodes.  Okay, cool, but... we might not see the finale til 2009.  I just might slit my wrists.

Quote
And some bad news: There are 20 episodes in the final season and the plan now from Sci-Fi is to show 10 of them in Feb. of 2008 and then wait until Feb. of 2009 to show the final 10! Needless to say, the large crowd at the panel was not pleased considering the 18-month gap we are already enduring.


Possible spoilers, you've been warned:

Don't forget, there's new BSG next month.  It's a multi-part bit that takes place aboard....

The Pegasus.



Well, that's not the name, but we'll see.  It takes place before the reunion, and should be interesting.

The shows been a bit of a let down for me. I STILL can't understand why they made Starbuck a woman. No offense, Ladies, but its like making the next Bond movie with a woman.

Tango, how many episodes did you watch?  This version of the show is waaay better than the original.  When's the last time you watched some Lorne Greene BSG?  I rented the series a few years ago, and was shocked at how much it sucked compared to my memory of it.

Simple, they interchanged the 80's hip homoerotic Apollo/Starbuck stance to a more modern heterosexual one. :aok

The show started out pretty good but it turned into a weepy, PC, soap opera mess.

A great TV series. It's no ROME, but it beats most prime time fare hands down. There were the blatant shark jumps though:

Chief as Union leader
Lee in the "Law and Order" episodes

and a few more minor ones

Oh, I've watched them all but as Lazs2, says its just a soap opera.

I really liked Farscape and wished they had left it on.

Farscape was a joke.

LEXX on the other hand... was a joke well done.
