'Battlestar Galactica' Expands Season Finale

The end of "Battlestar Galactica's" second season will come a little later than expected.
A half-hour later, to be exact. The Sci Fi Channel series will extend its season finale to 90 minutes -- although the network says that still won't be enough time to resolve the show's myriad plot threads.
The finale, scheduled for Friday, March 10, will revolve around a coming election pitting current President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and Gaius Baltar (James Callis), whom Roslin believes to be a Cylon collaborator (she's right, of course).
Complicating matters is the discovery by the Galactica crew of a planet that appears able to support human life, which forces the candidates to consider whether they should abandon their search for planet Earth. With sentiment swinging toward the Baltar camp, Roslin ponders drastic action.
Sci Fi is already teasing a cliffhanger ending, so chances are fans of the show won't see the full impact of the president's decision.
"Battlestar Galactica" has become one of Sci Fi's most popular series since its October 2004 premiere (following a 2003 miniseries). The show, which regularly draws 3 million or more viewers, has also gathered a fair share of critical praise.
Production on season three is scheduled to begin in the spring.
