Galactica finale expanded!

Looks like Ron Moore and SciFi have learned their lesson from the mid-season cliffhanger "Pegasus."

In his podcast, Moore talked about how "Pegasus" ran long and they debated a long time over having an extended episode or cutting it to the essentials for the plot. Eventually, the two decided to go for the 60 minute version with Moore promising the extended cut would be on the eventual DVD release (it was not, but is scheduled to be on the release of season 2.5 later this year. And yes, I'm still pissed about it).

Now Dark Horizons is reporting that the season finale of Battlestar Galactica will be expanded and run 90 minutes. (Warning: The article does contain spoilers for the season finale!)

All I can say is--more Battlestar Galactica is a good thing in my book.
