It is a known fact that Battlestar Galactica is the greatest show on earth — if you don’t know that, what rock have you been hiding under? — and is on it’s final season. The last season has been divided into 2 parts, 10 episodes each with the final 10 scheduled to air next year. I quite agreed with the decision to end the show because seriously, how long can the colonial fleet be on the search for earth? The first half of the season has been wonderful and the 10th episode had you at the edge of your seat with tension for all the what if’s and the what now’s. Despite knowing that this show is going to end it’s run next year, I’m very much excited to see how the other half of the season goes.

That’s one SciFi show off the air after next year. More sad news are a-comin’.

BBC’s Doctor Who, currently starring David Tennant as the tenth reincarnation of the Doctor being syndicated by SciFi in the US, has ended it’s 4th season. We saw the end of Donna Noble’s (Catherine Tate) time as the Doctor’s companion and the closure to the Doctor and Rose’s (Billie Piper) story. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself really enjoying Donna as the current companion. She was fun, sarcastic and a good match to the Doctor’s manic self. All the Doctor’s previous companions returned for a grand finale this season. The most anticipated come back would have be Rose Tyler’s return to this universe. Ever since losing her to a parallel universe at the end of season 2, she has apparently been trying to find her way back to him. Their reunion is bittersweet as after all the things she’s done to get back she has to see him regenerate into somebody else. That was the show’s great cliff-hanger for the final episode of course. Without a full regeneration, the Doctor is reunited with Rose and is off to fight his mortal enemies once again — the Daleks. The Doctor is joined by Captain Jack Harkness, Mickey Smith, Jackie Tyler, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane Smith, Harriet Jones and even trusty K9 for the battle to save the planet.

I did not like the way they resolved the Doctor and Rose relationship. Somehow dumping Rose with a human clone of himself just doesn’t quite cut it for both him and Rose but that’s the way it had to be. And if that loss wasn’t painful enough, he has to now wipe Donna’s memory and take away all the things she’s experienced travelling time and space with him in order to save her life. From the TARDIS brimming with people he once travelled with, the Doctor ends up being alone again at the end of the season.

That isn’t really the sad news about this show, it’s the fact that there will only be 4 Doctor Who specials to air next year and the very real possibility that David Tennant might not come back to play the Doctor after next year’s specials.

That’s another highly probable SciFi show off the air after next year. Wait, there’s more … and this is what’s breaking my heart right now.

I always said that even though I’ll be losing Battlestar Galactica next year and there’s a chance I won’t be watching Doctor Who after David’s stint, I will always have Stargate Atlantis to enjoy. But wait, what kind of frakkery is this I’m reading? They’re cancelling the show? They’re cancelling Stargate Atlantis? Why in the name of the gods are they doing that?

Apparently they’re ending the 5th season with some sort of a cliff-hanger that will be continued in a series of Direct-to-DVD movies much like SG-1’s ‘The Ark of Truth‘ and ‘Continuum‘. Along with the news of cancellation, SciFi has greenlit Stargate Universe; a new addition to the Stargate series. That is made of absolute fail.

All I’m saying is, they shouldn’t brought on Jewel Staite as part of the main cast. Anybody remember the Firefly curse?

That’s three of my favorite shows off the air! WTF SciFi?
