How many of you are tired of the wait?

Hello but may I ask a question?
How many of you are tired of waiting for Battlestar Galaticia new season 4?
I really can't believe that I'm saying this but the thrill is gone and in truth I really could care less if it ever airs now! If you knew me you would be shocked at me saying it but there it is!
Razor offered us absultly nothing and honestly think that it might have damage the show in the long run.

I honestly think Moore & Ecart should be ashamed of how this show has been bounced around and not standing up to the SCI-FI channel for their network abuse of the show!

Trust me you really can't defend this behavior because it was both of them who wanted to do a direct to DVD movie and hold the series till Dec, 2008
(there own words) and that most of the profits would go to them, but Glen Larson refused to allow it because he owns all the movie distribution rights so it had to be Aired on television first and he was not going to give UNIVERSAL one inch of breathing room in regards to his property rights after they tried to hijack the series in 1981 and went to court over ownership! Everyone took a bath except Larson, and now it seem that the series is ending because Universal and the Sci-fi channel would not forgo the 5th seasons profits because all property's according to the Judgment order would revert to the original owner Glen Larson!

When Ron Moore & David Ecart wanted to do this series they both new the Larson would assume complete control of this series in 2010, but would have joint ownership until then but these 2 did the series anyway saying they could do 5 seasons without a problem!

Yes, yes the strike is part of the problem but the way I see it it's been a money grab from the Mini series and has never stop being one!

Personally I think that I'm fed up with the whole series, the waiting, the stupid choices, and poor attitudes in regards to the series and now am I asking AM I THE ONLY ONE TIRED TO THE POINT THAT I ALMOST COULD CARE LESS?

"When the GRIM REAPER comes a calling, I'm going to make the bastard earn it"!

Oh, is that show still running?

Hadn't noticed actually, never paid any attention to the series.

Sorry to hear ya'll are still waiting for it to wrap up.

I don't believe Razor is to blame: I think I remember this long hiatus being previously established, so Razor was a welcome refreshment during the long wait. Plus I don't believe Moore has any power to dictate airing dates.

These long intervals tend to water down any crave, that's true.

Earth. Just as in the old series.

And that's why I don't like the new show. It just has not the feeling of the good ol' series. It's a modern mix up full of corruption, sex, mischief.
The chief is rash idiot who does wrong what he can do, Starbuck's a hot-heated woman, and the Cylons are the biggest joke.

Isn't Sci-Fi known for screwing things up though?

Maybe if every episode wasnt an unending descent into even more human misery people might actually look forward to new episodes more.

"Couldn't care less" because "could care less" means you're not yet at lowest level of caring. Which is where I was when Starbuck came back to life.

Nice rant... What's the point in starting a thread just to flame something? There are plenty of people here who like BSG and have the patience to wait for the final series, so all your post is likely to do is cause a bloody big argument. It's almost as if that is what you are trying to do.

If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it.
