Friday, March 20 will mark the end of Battlestar Galactica

With practically none of my predictions coming true in the nine episodes leading up to the finale, I shouldn’t be writing what I think will happen in the two-hour finale. Instead, I will offer my condolences to the show.  The two-hour finale will air on Scifi Channel at 8:00 ET.  A Battlestar marathon will take place starting at 8:00 AM ET leading up to the series finale.  The finale promises that no extra surprises to extend the show will exist and that it truly will be the end.  A sad day for BSG fans, DVD’s of the ultra popular show will come out shortly after the finale.  Reruns of the show will continue to air on SciFi Channel and tentative arrangements for the show to be aired on local networks are in the works.  Whatever the case may be, BSG did something for Science Fiction, particularly the SciFI Channel by creating a new culture within the genre.  Battlestar gave life back into the SciFi channel, and ultimately the station and fans are grateful.  Though the show never made it to 100 episodes, it left its impression on society and culture as we see it.  Don’t be sad, Battlestar fans.  You were treated to something special.  Whether you see a return of the classic series or not is yet to be seen.  Bid farewell to the series on March 20.
