BSG – the end
I always wondered what’s going through the showrunner or lead writer’s mind as a show is airing its finale. As far as Ronald D. Moore goes (the Executive Producer and Developer of the freshly concluded new Battlestar Galactica), now we know, for he has posted his feelings on the subject at his blog.
My favorite line:
All I know is that today there is a show called Battlestar Galactica and tomorrow there was.
Senior year. Heh.
BTW – many of you know I’m a big fan of Ron’s post-show podcasts, where he breaks down the episode, what went right, what went wrong, what he did differently, and WHY. Here‘s what Ron was drinking during the final podcast. Hmm. 25 year old Scotch. Pity he couldn’t afford the new stuff. ![]()
