BSG is dead! Long live BSG!
This morning I read that EJO and KS may have prematurely announced the end of the Battlestar Galactica. Oops. I feel like an ass. Or maybe I don’t.
Let’s face it BSG is a great show. Yeah, you might not like the drama or character development of last season, but it helps provide motivation for story elements.
I stand by my words from yesterday. BSG should follow the natural termination of the story: earth found, cylon threat no more. How the latter develops, I don’t care, but it should be plausible (hints of biological threats, network viral threats and other ways have been provided across the seasons and can be built upon to end the series).
What no fan of BSG wants is Battlestar Galactica 1980. And it can happen: I recall Enterprise using the <sarcasm>novel and unique mix</sarcasm> of time travel, Nazi’s, and technology to fill holes and tie up loose ends. What happened to Enterprise? Oh, it got canceled. Not to my dismay—I hated the series; watched maybe five complete episodes and turned it off when the alien Nazi’s entered stage right—but some people were disappointed.
Save BSG by praying for an end. Please don’t pray for more.
