Check out a well-informed, far-ranging interview with Ron Moore, creator and show-runner of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica. No spoilers for the impending Season 4.5.
Battlestar Galactica is one of the finest shows on television, and that’s not just me talking – though it has struck out on major Emmy nods, it’s run the table on critical acclaim during its run, including accolades from Time and the American Film Institute, amongst many others. It’s first season compares favorably to The West Wing in the quality of its storytelling and ensemble acting. If you’ve already exhausted the re-watch possibilities on Lost and Mad Men BSG’s mix of action and intrigue is the perfect mid-point between the two.
(If you prefer your BSG news with spoilers, head to SyFy Portal to read about the identity of the final cylon and the last scene in the series. Careful – the latter one is shocking.)
Hi Peter,
I am a big fan of BG. I keep thinking that the final Cylon is Madame President, but then I’m not sure that a Cylon could get breast cancer as she has had.
B – It is by bar our favorite show! We just bought the DVD of 4.0, and I’m re-watching every scene with the potential final cylon(s) as if the actors are playing it as cylons. I have to say, though I share your doubts about Roslin, her scenes ring the truest.
Perhaps we should pay a visit to catch one of the final episodes :)
