Second Half of Battlestar Season Extended

The Chicago Tribune reports that the remainder of BSG’s season will be 11 hours long, instead of the 10 initially expected. And the final episode will run three hours, apparently. All Sci Fi Channel will say is that the final episode will extend past the allotted time.

The Trib also cites “well-informed sources” saying there will be a BSG TV movie. That’s expected to air on Sci Fi before a release on DVD, as they did with the Razor movie.

As for when the best show on television returns. It seems the wait will extend into 2009. Both co-creator Ron Moore and Sci Fi’s president have gone on record saying 2009, so we are in for a lengthy wait. Sorry, gang.
