Article: 'Battlestar's Final Season In Doubt?

Battlestar Galactica's executive producer Ronald D. Moore has accepted that the show may never resume filming following the current writers' strike in America.

In a posting on his blog after production on the acclaimed show's final season shut down, Moore stated: “I refuse to believe that we won’t finish, that we won’t be back to film our final stories, but I know and accept there is that possibility.”

Currently, only 13 episodes have been filmed with nine yet to be completed. Moore added: “I am ready to put the rest of the story on the table and take the risk that I’ll never be able to tell it, in support of this strike. Like Adama says, you make your choices and then you live with them.”

I spotted this and thought it an idea to post it in here. I don't read Ron's blog but this would be a total balls if they can't finish BSG because of it.

Hes right though- sacrifes like this are worth it if it means the writers get what they deseve.

I live in hope of a feature film to wrap up the series, but with Glen having rights to movie releases, don't see it happening.

Balls to that.

Its true though: a month off production is a huge loss-maker. Late Night Shows like Conan O Brien have already resorted to paying their non-striking staff out of their own pocket to stop them from having to leave: and thats the problem all across the board. The BSG production could lose really key people if they can't afford to stay on, and the story may never be finished.

well i would love for them to finished, but after what i went though with SAAB , John doe and others i would be happy them ending bsg with direct to dvd movies or a book or anything! all i want is an ending if i dont get one then ill have to make up my own ending and that wont be as fun

whats wrong with creativity? TV spoils the imagination anyway: its funny cos you always have preconceptions as to how something might turn out - and I find pleasantly most of the time that while I enjoy the actual outcome Im frequently disappointed that I was unable to project my own version of events on to the television screen. You know, like when theres a stupid scene, or you think something could have been done better, or you had something better in mind as an outcome, etc.

Go sirrah, and write your own alternative ending. For me, they ultimately ally with the Cylons, everyone reaches earth and finds it dead and charred. HA HA.

This isn't like your typical Irish union strike where someone wants more pay because someone moved a paperclip and their "work environment has changed as a result". This is about making sure that writing continues to be a viable career choice and the long term future of quality television. The writers' demands are actually minuscule. Blame the studios for putting people out of work.
