    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>With the writers on strike, will this break up the 22-episode final season of Battlestar Galactica? Will it delay the season altogether?</p>
<p>Show creator and WGA member <a href="http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?act=findpost&amp;hl=&amp;pid=4455963">Ronald D. Moore certainly isn't going to be crossing any picket lines</a>, even if he is in that gray area of writer/producer/show-runner:</p>
<blockquote><p>Some tense times as we head into the strike tomorrow.</p>
<p>Just wanted to take a moment and express my thanks to those of you who've made clear your support of the writers and of our staff in particular. <strong>There will still be a Galactica to finish when this is all over, and I'll be back to talk to you more then.</strong></p>
<p>Thanks again and I'll see you on the other side of the Jump.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>My hope is that <a href="http://syfyportal.com/news424393.html">they will run with the 15 or show shows already written</a>. April 2008 is long enough to wait anyway.</p>
<p>The good news is that the strike will almost certainly leave NBC a bit thin on prime-time show programming -- <a href="http://www.syfyportal.com/news424341.html">this may</a> prompt <a href="http://www.boxxet.com/Battlestar_Galactica/NBC_may_air_Battlestar_and_4400_during_writers_strike.18kfym.d">NBC to air Galactica</a> which would be way cool for the show itself. Galactica sets a real standard for television. It would be really nice to give it a chance to capture more of the audience I really feel it deserves.</p>
