In a conference call with reporters on Friday, Battlestar Galactica executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick talked about the end of the series after the fourth season, as announced yesterday.
"I think it was somewhere around the midpoint of [last] season, when we were working on the story where we'd gotten to the algae planet and discovered the temple" devoted to the final five Cylons, Moore said "And by the end of the season, we had taken that moment and moved it to the revelation of four of the five Cylons, and one of our characters had actually been to Earth and seen it. But that was sort of the moment where we started to feel like, if we don't start to pay this off and don't really reveal those secrets and move in that direction, we'd get to a place where it would feel like we're jerking [around] the audience."
About the decision to end the series, Eick said "This is a decision that took some time to arrive at, and like all decisions this large, there were a number of questions we had internally and a creative agenda we wanted to serve. I think we all had to collectively decide when we wanted to be definitive about it. That time is now,"
The network wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of giving up its most buzzworthy show, but Moore says once he and Eick made their case, Sci Fi didn't stand in their way either.
"They didn't really fight with us," Moore says. "They expressed concern that the show might be able to go on longer and wanted to make sure we weren't passing up opportunities to continue telling stories, but they were very accommodating. When David and I were very clear that this was what we really, definitively wanted to do, they supported us."
Regarding "Razor", the November telemovie about the story of the Battlestar Pegasus, Moore said "Some of the events of the Pegasus' back story during the original Cylon attack are dramatized, and some after the death of Adm. Cain [Michelle Forbes] while Pegasus is still in the fleet are covered,"
Regarding the proposed prequel series Caprica, Eick said "I don't think we know the immediate answer, it's not on the immediate front-burner. No one has said to us definitively that it is dead. It's something we believe in wholeheartedly as it would not only capture a lot of 'Battlestar Galactica' fans, but shore up a whole new audience to the mythology, because it's a very different type of show."
"The end of season three showed a glimpse of Earth; you actually saw it. And you will see more of it," Moore says. "We're going to get to a place that we're going to call Earth by the end of the series."
