WGA strike

The ongoing Writers Guild of America strike has resulted in the suspended production of the Re-imagined Series's fourth season, along with the majority of scripted US TV and film. The strike began on 5th November 2007, by which time 11 episodes (half) of Season 4 had been completed.

The strike continues, and may result in season 4 having a large mid-season hiatus, being split into two separate seasons or the series as a whole ending prematurely.

There is widespread support for the strike among cast, crew and fans. Show-runner Ron D. Moore's new blog keeps a track on various strike-related activities including the "Pencils2MediaMoguls" campaign.

A deal brokered in early February 2008 looks likely to be ratified by the WGA rank-and-file. Productions may resume as early as the 13th.. E! Online has suggested, based on comments by writer Jane Espenson, that production on BSG will resume quite quickly, but the remaining episodes of season 4 may not air until the autumn of 2008 or the start of 2009.
