Sci-Fi Orders Up More "Battlestar"

Sci-Fi has picked up nine more episodes in season four of "Battlestar Galactica," which will bring the new season count from 13 to 22. That will also include a two-hour event slated for the fourth quarter of this year, just prior to a release on DVD.

The show has won a Peabody Award and, in addition, has been honored by the American Film Institute as one of their top 10 television programs for two years in a row. But the pick-up of the cult favorite could worry some viewers, as there is speculation that if Sci Fi were to pick up the back nine episodes, it could end the series for good.

The finale of third-season "Battlestar" is set for Sunday, March 25, while production of season four starts in May with an eye toward premiere early in 2008.
