Home"Battlestar" fans blessed by strike?
The looming WGA strike could be the best thing that ever happens to fans of Battlestar Galactica. Though the fourth and final season of the cult hit finally has a start date (April 4, 2008), Sci Fi network programming exec Mark Stern admits that only 10 episodes are scheduled to air, followed by a mid-season hiatus that could delay the final batch until 2009. But here's the twist: If the pending writers strike puts the bulk of Sci Fi's slate on hold next year, the network could air the last Battlestar episodes -- most of which are already written -- through next summer. Talk about taking advantage of Hollywood's misfortune: What will those wily Cylons think of next?
