Considering that there were some rumors of BSG not being renewed for a 4th season, it's not completely surprising. When I compare Season 3 to Seasons 1 & 2, it does seem likely it has more filler episodes (racial episode with Sagitarrons, Chief Tyrol fighting for workers' rights, to name a couple) and some of the character subplots (love quadrangle between Lee-Kara-Anders-Dualla).

Don't get me wrong. I still consider BSG to be the best show on TV, as we had great moments with the rescue on New Caprica, the trial of Gaius Baltar, and even some episodes revolving around the Cylons.

But the ratings have not been that good, even for cable TV, with the show averaging 1.8-2.2 million viewers, which is low compared to other popular shows like the Shield or Nip/Tuck, which average 3.5-4 million viewers.

I think it feels just about right that the 4th season will be its last.
