Scheduling Dumbassery

Just how stupid can a network be?

Well, if the rumors are true, pretty fucking stupid.

What could possibly possess Sci-Fi to consider running the final season of BSG in two parts over TWO YEARS! Yup...that's right. They'd air 10 episodes in 2008 and then the other 10 in 2009. Sure you could stretch out the final season into two (sort of), but at what cost?

You'd think that the suits would've learned their lesson after watching shows like Jericho implode after a long lay off. Audiences don't want to stick around, twiddling their thumbs.

Then again, they might just be counting on the rabidness of BSG fans. We may bitch and moan, but at the end of the day we're still going to tune in to watch the finale.

But boy do I ever hope this is just an unfounded rumor.
