If Battlestar Galactica is such a great show, then why are they cancelling
it? It hasn't been on very long and they made very few episodes.

It wasn't cancelled. It was ended by the producers just like "Star Trek: The Next
Generation" and I believe "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" were. They did it in this cas
because they felt that it had a definate end to the story. There will be a prequel
series "Caprica" NOT set on the Galactica and very few if any BSG characters
appearing. There will however be at least one loose end prequel movie maybe,
(hopefully) two more movies (set during the time period of the show, not after it so
they won't be true sequels) and then that is it. BSG was and is an EXCELLENT show. It
is just some times that the producers have the desire to tell a certain story for a
certain period of time and let go. The producer of "Babylon 5" was the same way.
