With the way Edward James Olmos is preparing fans for the end of "Battlestar Galactica" early next year, it's kind of hard to believe that Ronald D. Moore and his team are going to carry the theme of dark and brutal right to the end.

Following up on comments he made a few months ago to fans, Olmos -- who plays Adm. William Adama in the signature SciFi Channel series -- made it clear once again that viewers should have those Kleenex ready to go when they tune in to the final hours of the show.

For him, the finale is "heartbreaking," he said during FanExpo 2008 in Toronto, courtesy of The TV Addict.

"I'm telling you this for a reason, because I don't wnat you guys to think you're going to go through this without getting yourself really twisted ... it's brutal what happens to us," Olmos said. "Not many of us make it."

Olmos shares some other tidbits about the show, including how both Aaron Douglas and Michael Hogan -- who play Chief Tyrol and Col. Tigh in the series -- were mad about becoming Cylons, something Hogan himself shared with reporters last year (including Airlock Alpha) on the set of "Battlestar Galactica." In fact, Hogan still refuses to accept his character is a Cylon, even after filming ended, Olmos said.

Olmos also shared details about the upcoming Battlestar telemovie, including the fact that it will focus mostly on the first three seasons of the series, and be a very Tyrol-specific story, which will give Aaron Douglas a starring role.

"Battlestar Galactica" returns with its final episodes in January on SciFi Channel, and the telemovie -- written by Jane Espenson and directed by Olmos -- is expected to hit store shelves in the summer.
