I have the highest admiration for Moore in him making this decision based on creative reasons and not anything else. By the way, please keep this thread spoiler free since I have not seen season 3 yet. Thanks.
Battlestar Ending Next Season
The producers of SCI FI Channel's Battlestar Galactica <http> confirmed that the upcoming fourth season will be the show's last. Executive producers Ronald Moore and David Eick said that it was a creative decision to end the acclaimed series with the upcoming 22-episode season.
"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and, finally, an end," Eick and Moore said in a statement on May 31. "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. And while we know our fans will be saddened to know the end is coming, they should brace themselves for a wild ride getting there: We're going out with a bang."
In November, a special two-hour Battlestar episode, "Razor," will air. The fourth season kicks off in early 2008.
At last month's Saturn Awards, Edward James Olmos said that the upcoming season would be the show's last, prompting Eick to say at the time that no decision had been made. "I promise you that when Ron and I make a decision about Galactica's future, we'll let you know," he said then.

I believe you are thinking about that 2 hour episode called "Razor" which will bridge seasons 3 and 4. It's supposed to be shown in September or October.daofcmacg wrote:what happened to that damn August in betweener I was hearing about?

I just checked Sci-Fi's schedule for August and September and the only BSG they are showing are season 3 episodes. I guess then that season 4 wont be until October.daofcmacg wrote:I heard something about August, man they are starting to get on my nerve.

Here is your definitive answer DA:
Beginning in October, SCI FI will air Battlestar Galactica "mini-sodes" entitled "Razor" during episodes of the hit series Flash Gordon, Fridays at 9 p.m. The two-to-three-minute shorts will lead into the Nov. 24 premiere of "Razor," the two-hour Battlestar special TV movie, which will tell the story of Lee Adama's (Jamie Bamber) first mission as commander of the Battlestar Pegasus and will reveal the story of how Adm. Cain (Michelle Forbes) served her ship during the original Cylon attack on the Colonies. "Razor," which airs at 9 p.m., will provide a backdrop to events in the rest of Battlestar, which returns for its fourth and final season in early 2008.
"Razor" is written by Michael Taylor and directed by Felix Alcala. It also stars Katee Sackhoff and Tricia Helfer and introduces Stephanie Jacobsen as Kendra, Adm. Cain's protege.
