Io9 reported (or passed on a rumor) today that there may be more BSG after season 4 ends. These additional stories would most likely come in the form of made-for-TV movies, similar to the Razor movie broadcast late last year. According to I09, “The Doctor and Mrs. Who radio show host Jim Laccino cited inside sources claiming there will be a series of movies following up on season 4 of BSG. The movies will go into production over the summer and will include some of the original cast. He speculates that we’ll see one of them by the end of the year. And he reminded us that actress Mary McDonnell did say that this was not the last we’d see of BSG (but is the last of the one-hour show).”
While Io9’s Meredith Woerner said she prefers the stories end with season 4, I’m eager to see as much as I can, assuming the quality doesn’t deteriorate substantially. I’ll hold my judgement until more comes to light about who will be writing, directing and producing them.
I don’t know if I’d want post-season 4 films. I’ll need to see how the show wraps up first.
However, I wouldn’t mind seeing made-for-TV movies that took place within the time period of the four seasons of BSG–like Razor and some of the Babylon 5 movies.
Based on a follow-up io9 post today, it sounds like your vision for within time-period movies is the direction they’re headed. I’m keeping my fingers crossed on the quality factor.
If they keep up the quality, I’ll be watching.
