In case you don’t know, The Sci Fi Channel’s “Battlestar Galactica” will be closing up shop after its upcoming and final fourth season. But don’t worry, BSG fans, the show will continue on with a string of direct-to-DVD movies (though for contractual reasons, the movies will all premiere on the Sci Fi Channel first as a tele-movie). Jamie Bamber, one of the stars of BSG (he plays Lee Adama, aka “Apollo”), talked to SciFiWire about the upcoming final season, and the atmosphere on the set now that everyone knows the fourth season will be the show’s final one.

“Inevitably it changes the vibe, because there’s suddenly a horizon, and you can see over the horizon,” Bamber said in a press conference on the set in Vancouver, Canada, on June 26. “Knowing it’s the last time changes everything. So, yeah, it’s a different deal.”

Despite feeling sentimental, Bamber added that he believes it’s the right time to end the show. “There’s also a real peace of mind that comes with the fact that we’re going to get to finish this story,” he said. “And this story has always begged an ending. And we’re going to get to give it to you. So there’s a lot of excitement and anticipation that’s attached to that. But it feels like … every moment that passes is gone forever now. It’s like the last performance of a play on the last night. You start with your monologue in the first scene and you know when you finish it, that’s the last time you’ll ever do it.”
