..not that there was *ever* any if to it.

I'd be mighty disappointed if they'll go ahead with the 13eps order, but then again nothing happens in these eps of late; I guess I could easily eliminate 4 or 5 of them which would leave exactly a kick-ass TV-movie event and a cohesive mind-blowing 13eps season, just like season 1. therefore, I welcome the idea of going back to a shorter season. Ron Moore is excellent at crafting up well integrated stories, which leave you wanting more; just look at Carnivale season 1 and you'll know there's nothing to worry about. btw, look what happened to Carnivale in season 2 without Ron... BSG might be back for season 5 or even 6 if it goes back to it's season 1 glory. I mean, I had high hopes for this season, what with the explosive 4episode arc at the start and all, but then they got tangled up in stand-alones and we get eps like the last two or Hero which leave you blank.
