David Weddle, producer of Sci-fi's BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, has talked a little bit about final season of the show to SyFy Portal's Michael Hinman. Part of the topics discussed was the "break" between the first half the season and the last half of the season. The producers don't know whether it will be a short break or a break like the final season of Sopranos(spaced apart many months). The mid-break question comes from a last week quote of actor Jamie Barber leaking out that the Sci-fi Channel could possibly put a year long break between the mid-season finale and the second-half premiere. According to Weddle, they've also started planning out the final episodes of the series so they're prepared when time comes for them to get behind the camera.
From SyFy Portal:
"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."
"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 tv movie, RAZOR, hits the Sci-fi Channel in November and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA returns to the airwaves in early 2008.
