Battlestar Galactica: Ronald Moore talks about Earth BSG creator talks about Season 4 and the Prequel. Fred Topel, CraveOnline June 13, 2007 It's official. Battlestar Galactica is coming to an end. In only its fourth season, they are going to wrap up the series with a capper of finality. I know, get out your hankies. At least series creator Ronald Moore made himself available to talk us through our feelings of depression. And at least the fourth season will be a full 20 episodes, plus a two hour flashback introducing a new character, so that's still a lot more Battlestar to come.
CRAVE ONLINE: Are you planning a definitive end with no questions left? Will we see what life on earth is like?
RONALD MOORE: Well, I think at the end of season three, we showed you a glimpse of earth. You actually saw it and I think that you will see more of it. We will get to a place that we're going to call Earth by the end of the series. Yeah, you'll get to see it.
CRAVE ONLINE: But will we know what existence is like on earth?
RONALD MOORE: I think there's a good chance. I'm being sort of deliberately vague, not just for surprises. Also because we haven't written that show yet so it's a little premature.
David Eick On Battlestar Galactica June 13, 2007 Battlestar Galactica creator Ron Moore has answered every iteration of the question "Do you really have to end the show now?" At least he has support from his colleagues. Producer David Eick defended Moore's choice.
David Eick on Closing Out Battlestar Galactica "This is a decision that took some time to arrive at," said Eick. "Like all decisions this large, there were a number of questions that we had about it, internally, and creative agenda that we wanted to serve, and we all had to collectively decide when it was time to be definitive about it, and that time is now. I certainly don’t blame him for keeping it close to the vest until every side of this equation had been vetted."
Totally Frakked: Will We Ever Get A "Battlestar Galactica" Movie? By Liz Lacy
As is inevitably the case when a popular show announces its end, people are speculating on the idea of a "Battlestar Galactica" movie. Ronald Moore and David Eick have said up front that they're excited about the idea, and it seems fairly clear that there's a market for it. So, are all systems go? Well, not yet, no. It seems there's an intergalactic party pooper, and his name is Glen Larson.

WATCH THEM, PLEASE! The Galactica crew will be heading home after this season — how many of you will see them off?
Dalton Ross is an editor-at-large at EW and swears there are better pictures of him out there...somewhere.The executive producers behind Battlestar Galactica announced the other week that they were wrapping up the space drama after the upcoming fourth season. A statement from Ronald Moore and David Eick reads: ''This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and, finally, an end. Over the course of the last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward that end, and we've decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude the show on our own terms.''
Glen Larson Holds the Key to BSG's Future Written by Chris McKeown Tuesday, 12 June 2007 Glen A. Larson, the original creator of the 1970's series Battlestar Galactica, has won his battle with Universal over intellectual property rights to the BSG franchise. Now, it's up to him to decide if the series has a future on the big screen, or even with direct-to-DVD films. Larson has retained all motion picture rights to both the franchise and the name, and it's unclear if he intends to allow the Edward James Olmos & crew version to rent those rights or not... Larson has, however, expressed an interest in revitalizing the original series with a theatrical-release movie picking up where the original story left off.
