BSG to NBC?

Apparently the rumor is swirling that NBC is about to aquire SciFi's Battlestar Galactica. From DH:

"Word has begun to circulate that NBC's acquisition of "Battlestar Galactica" is in the "waiting for the ink to dry" phase at this moment, and an official announcement could be days away reports this BSG Site...

The talk is that the show may make the move to NBC as a mid-season replacement to shore up a weak Fall line-up of shows with high profile disappointments like "Kidnapped", "Friday Night Lights" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip". Its sole big new hit has been the sci-fi centric "Heroes" which continues to grow each week in viewers and its third episode pulled in 13.3 million viewers on Monday night.

The question is will the show remain intact in its move from cable to free-to-air networks. One of the show's big draws is its dark and edgy examination of issues, most notably this season seeing some controversial criticisms of terrorism and US foreign policy mixed in with its sci-fi trappings."

Oh this is horrible. NBC ruins everything they touch. I am so depressed.
