There could be 10 months separating the first half and the second half of the final season of "Battlestar Galactica," or there could be just a month. Either way, fans of the SciFi Channel series are in for a ride straight to the end.
"We were told that SciFi was thinking about splitting the final season, but we do not know how long the gap in that split will be," producer David Weddle told SyFy Portal's Michael Hinman. "As far as I know, SciFi has not decided yet. The SciFi Channel executives are the only ones who will be able to answer that question, once they've arrived at a decision."
Weddle, who has been writing with partner Bradley Thompson since the glory days of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," said he and Thompson would be writing the season premiere, as well as a two-parter that will serve as the mid-season finale and premiere.
"The writing staff just spent three days in a cabin in Lake Tahoe mapping out the final episodes of the show," Weddle said. "We now know how it will end and what each major character's journey will be, though the specifics may go through many changes between now and the conclusion of shooting in March. It was both exhilarating and sad at the end of those three days in Tahoe."
The writing staff actually recorded a podcast on the final night at the cabin talking abut writing for the show, and their thoughts on how it was ending.
"Needless to say, it was an emotionally charged session that will eventually be released online and, I believe, on the DVDs.
"There is much work left to be done, but we can see the end approaching, which both catalyzes and saddens us."
Last weekend, actor Jamie Bamber said that SciFi Channel was looking to put as much as a year between the mid-season finale and the mid-season premiere.
"Battlestar Galactica" returns with the telemovie "Razor" in November, which Weddle is listed as the supervising producer, according to Internet Movie Database, and will return with its fourth and final season sometime in early 2008.
