Season finale aired last night. Out of consideration for those of you who have it Tivo'd, I won't give anything away - not even the explanation behind this post's title. Suffice to say that - while it wasn't nearly as shocking or fantastic as the end of Season Two (see previous post) - the show did follow the lead of the last episode, and maintained the much needed intermingling of plot and character. And while I'm not sitting on the edge of my proverbial seat waiting for next season to start - again, as I and others like me were at the end of Season Two - it is a shame that we'll have to wait until - ahem! - January 2008! On the plus side, the Sci-Fi Channel has officially bumped up Season Four from the original 13 episodes to the standard 22.
In the meantime, showrunner Ron Moore has come clean on a couple of BSG-related items. First up, this Fall a Sci-Fi Channel movie will follow the Battlestar Pegasus. As reported on Ain't It Cool News:
Also, in an interview with Salon.com, Moore suggests that the proposed Galactica prequel series - Caprica - might be dead in the water:The “Galactica” TV-movie will tell the tale of Admiral Cain and the battlestar Pegasus. Cain was assassinated by a Cylon in season two and the Pegasus was destroyed in a Cylon battle earlier this season.
It's possible. It's been in development at SciFi for a while and they haven't picked it up. And I don't know if they're going to pick it up at this point. There's talk of doing it as a TV movie and seeing how that works, as a back-door pilot, much as we did with the "Galactica" miniseries. Right now there's nothing telling me that they're going to move on it anytime soon, so I'm starting to feel that it's going to remain on the development shelf.Good news all around, as I for one never held much interest in the prequel, which would only take place some fifty years before the current series. You know what that meant? No Cylons. And we know what happens when there are no Cylons (see previous post).
