Oh, for shame. The end of an era is rapidly descending upon us.

As its fans have feared, Sci Fi's Battlestar Galactica will end its run after this, its fourth season.

Executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eik said they will wrap up the storyline with these 22 episodes. The fourth season is in production in Vancouver and will premiere in November. Broadcasting & Cable reported this despite the fact that the official announcement is planned for Friday.

"This show was always meant to have a beginning, a middle and finally, an end," said Eick and Moore in a joint statement. "Over the course of the last year, the story and the characters have been moving strongly toward that end and we've decided to listen to those internal voices and conclude the show on our own terms."
