Ronald D. Moore you b*stard...

From his blog
"Could you please explain the writing process for an extra season stroy arc if you don't know if you are going to be signed from one season to the next? hopefully the Sci Fi network will come to there senses and offer a multi year contract. "

I just proceed as if it were already a done deal. I wrote the miniseries as a pilot for a series, without ever considering how to cover my bases if it didn't get picked up and I wrote the Season One finale as a cliff-hanger without any backup plan whatsoever if we didn't return.

Sometimes you just gotta roll the hard six.
In other words, he didn't know wether of not BG was going to be picked up for a second series when his wrote the final episode of the first season. Lucky for him it was. It could have gotten ugly othewise...
