they aRE REALLY DICKIN AROUND THE FANS. IM NOT HAPPY
| Quote: | hink waiting eight months at a time for new episodes of "Battlestar Galactica" is bad enough? Wait to hear how long you may have to wait to see how the story ends.
Jamie Bamber, who plays Lee "Apollo" Adama in the series, told fans at the recent Dragon*Con convention in Atlanta that SciFi Channel is considering splitting the show's final season to begin in both February 2008 and February 2009.
"The actors actually ripped SciFi, with Bamber saying that the channel is not used to producing high-quality material and now that it has a hit, it doesn't know what to do with it," a source known as Jedi X told the Ain't It Cool News Web site.
Following the site's initial report, other attendees at Dragon*Con said it sounded like the actors -- which included Aaron Douglas and Richard Hatch -- were simply joking. Jedi X, however, said that was not the case.
"Douglas, Bamber and Hatch were talking about the current gap in the show and one of them said that the plan was to split the final season between 2008 and 2009, a lot of people laughed and thought it was a joke and that they were ripping SciFi," Jedi X said. "But then Bamber said, 'No, really. That's the plan right now,' and then the audience groaned. So he may have been adding to the 'joke,' but that was not the impression I got. [Bamber] even went on to say that this is how SciFi essentially gets two final seasons for the cost of one."
There will be some significant changes in the upcoming fourth season. Bamber has longer hair and a beard, which the actor said indicates he will have more of a civilian role in the final season. And while Bamber may be growing out his hair, Douglas shaved his off apparently since his character of Chief Tyrol is apparently dealing badly with the fact that he's a Cylon.
Of course, none of this has been confirmed by SciFi Channel, so treat this as you would any other rumor.
