'Battlestar' season finale runs over timeslot

The season finale of Battlestar Galactica ran over its timeslot on the US Sci-Fi channel on Friday night, igniting online protests among those who DVR'ed the show to watch later only to find the last few minutes of the show absent.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!," wrote one blogger, adding: "I hate when networks have to get off cycle on the schedules. Thanks to Sci-Fi's timing, I missed what was probably the last 30 seconds or so and probably 2 or 3 lines of dialogue for the Battlestar Galactica season ender."

"Frak," exclaimed another. "If you Tivo'd the season finale of Battlestar Gallactica you may have a heart attack when you get 2 minutes from the end and realize the show ran over and the last scene is chopped off."

The schedule run-over happened again on the west coast re-airing later Friday night; the channel is going to repeat the episode on Monday night.
