Moore and Eick speak up about Battlestar Galactica’s future
OK, now it’s official, Battlestar is over after four seasons.
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
The season opener will not be connected to how the third season ended, not picking up after the cliffhanger but instead going back a bit in time a season or two ago (perhaps into the second season), connecting events there with what will happen in season four.
Aww FUCK. It’s going to end just as blatheringly talkative as season three, isn’t it? You know what I loved about Rome? Every episode started and ended as if it were one huge 24-hour long feature film. There was time compression, obviously, but what you saw at the end of 1x03 was what led 1x04. The end of season one ended with Julius Ceasar dead on the floor of the Senate, and season two picked up with what looked like the exact shot that ended season two. It was a thing of beauty to watch those episodes straight through.
You know what I love about The Shield? CONTI-FRIGGIN-NUITY. Each episode leads to the one that follows. If old information is needed, they just fucking tell us.
Man, BSG started out with such promise. The mini-series and seasons one (and most of two) were amazing. I have very little faith in season 4 but I will watch it faithfully nonetheless.
Later on in the fourth season it will be further explained why ‘All Along The Watchtower’ is significant. They also reveal that originally they were going to have the Simon & Garfunkel song ‘America’ instead.
Oh. I have a bad feeling about the political content of season four. Please, please PLEASE let me be paranoid and wrong.

That’s what you loved about Rome? I thought it would have been the gratuitous nudity and violence. That’s what I liked best, anyway.

Orpheus, good point. :) I should have said one of the things I loved about Rome. :)

Jim that apparently is supposed to be the 2 hour movie “Razor” so not really the true opener. Of course I’m dreading it a lot like you.

Sounds like a retcon to try to explain how Tigh is a cylon.

I guess we’ll just have to hope Heroes stays true and watchable. Oh well. Can’t say I’m looking forward to Bionic woman.
