Sorry.. didn't word it all that well.

I just mean that like with Lost, Heroes and so on they seem determined to be all "clever" with an absurd number of plot twists, gotcha moments and so on. They start out quite cool, but after a while it gets to seem rather pretentious like they're wanting to walk around saying "Ha, ha, ha, ha we know and you don't". Story telling should contain a fair balance of "Wha... huh?" moments and "Ohhhhhh" resolutions. BSG has (to me) felt like it's had way too much of the former and very little of the latter.

For those who are annoyed with never getting any answers watch E15 ASAP.

More answers given than questions posed!

twas awesome

that is all

I've seen it and listened to RDM's podcast and I still can't quite wrap my head around some of it. There are still missing questions. Baltar's visions of 6. 6's visions of Baltar. Though I have no real clue if Caprica 6 is dead or not with all the damn clones. What is Starbuck? Some sort of hybrid? There's an interesting theory bouncing around that makes you think. What if they're all Cylons? The past is so complex that at some point they may have forgot that they were all Cylons.

If you don't listen to RDM's podcasts you should. "This is an interesting thing and it sets up a story line that takes us right to the end." He's such a tease but its great to know that its all going somewhere. Annoyingly I've heard that that somewhere may not be a nice place. Oh and his wife is hilarious. "Well if you were a better writer things would make more sense."

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

President is definitely done. Galactica is quite possibly done. I have this feeling that Adama and Roslin are going to go out in a blaze of glory on Galactica. They're all old things due for retirement.

End Spoiler Alert!

RDM has said that they've tried to save as much money for the finale as they can. Thats not far off now. God I can't wait for that.

I'm still confused with Starbuck myself

I think these law few are going to be awesome, I'll just be gutted when it finishes.

petemc · 15-02-2009, 22:43

Better to be gutted than to think "fking finally." Its ending on hopefully a spectacular note and it'll answer most of our questions. Its a good ending. There is a tv movie planned called "The Plan" which is about the events of the mini-series and up to s2 set from the Cylon perspective afaik.

leowyatt · 15-02-2009, 22:55

Sounds good. Caprica sounds promising too.

was it true they were planning on having a 2-3 hour finale?

petemc · 15-02-2009, 23:43

I'm not entirely sure. I've heard this though.

Quote:

Executive Producer Ron Moore has said that the final 10 episodes will run 11 hours in length – or longer, with the series finale running three or more hours

I would love that. Basically have a miniseries size ending. Its sort of hinted at in the podcasts cos RDM keeps saying the show is returning to how it started, to some extent. Remembering that Galactica was once a damn fine ship. Tyrel fixing the ship. Kara kicking ass and taking names. I'd love a 3hr finale.

Ep15Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

So who do we think Daniel is and how does he fit in?

First thoughts was that Baltar could be an escaped Daniel but Cavil has spent time with him so would have noticed he was still alive.

My guessing is that Daniel knocked up Socrata Thrace explaining why Kara has returned from the dead and could find Earth.
