Can I make a request? After the final episode, can someone explain how this picture gave away the ending? I'm pretty sure that this will go unexplained, and it will drive me crazy.
Doc Cottle, MD? Damn, that would be the first medical drama I'd be interested in in about 33 years. I seriously hate medical drama and law shows, but Doc Cottle, MD ... that sounds awesome. Speaking of law shows, I might think about watching a Romo Lampkin spin off. But only because Mark Sheppard rocks.
Trouble is, they've meandered this last season. So many questions, no time to answer them. Two hours? Give me a break-- I've got FOUR SEASONS worth of questions.
I said this a couple of years ago, back when "Caprica" was first announced. My major complaint wasn't that a prequel wasn't necessary-- it was that Ron Moore, *knowing he was making another Galactica-related show*-- was going to screw up BSG's ending. Either he'd be distracted by Caprica, he'd want to add in a little retconning to BSG to make things fit into his plans for Caprica, or worst of all, he'd just not answer some questions raised during BSG *within* BSG-- instead, Moore would leave some things dangling, teasing us to all watch his NEXT show where he would wonderfully answer the questions from his LAST show.
I've feared that scenario for years. Now, Moore and Eick and gang have exactly two hours left to show that he knows how to end a show well.
@Daveinva: But why should all questions be answered? I mean, for one thing spending all your time answering questions promises to bog a series down. For another thing, life just ain't tidy and this is a show where life is a whole lot untidier than we're used to. I think it would feel too canned if all questions were answered.
@Boas_MC: I'm not looking for plot resolution or character arcs here. I'll sleep fine next Saturday if I don't find out who lives, who dies, who marries whom, etc. I'm okay with an ambiguous ending.
HOWEVER, I only want BSG to answer the questions that are unique to BSG, it's Colonials/Cylons mythology, and how we got to where we are.
I'll come out and say it: any finale that doesn't explain Head Six, why Hera is important, the Opera House, how Starbuck got resurrected, what happened to Earth, who built the clues on the path to Earth (and why), and what the Dylan song is all about. . . BSG will have failed mightily in my book.
@Daveinva: With only 2 hours left, and the way they've... not been answering anything... it's probably good you're a pessimist. So you won't be quite so pissed off when they don't answer all those.
How about "Saul in the Family" an ornery biggoted self hating Cylon who lives with his drunk wife, his sexy lover and his two stupid kids. They want him to be more open minded but he just wants to get drunk with his best friend Bill Adama and pick on "Toasters" and their silly ways. Things really get crazy when his daughter starts dating a number 4 "Simon" model.
I think new Doctor Who is cheesy and embarrassing, with none of the charm of old shows (though that could just be my rose-tinted goggles working overtime) but having said that...I'd love to see Patrick Stewart play the Doctor.
Y'know, I know that he's British, but after seeing him in BSG for all these seasons, it'd be super weird to suddenly see him in a British series with his natural accent.
You know what really bugs me? One of my buddies watched Reign of Fire and dismissed it on the basis that Christian Bale's accent sounded horrible and he should stop trying to do other accents. Of course, I pointed out the fact that he's actually a Brit.
...in between fierce whacks to the skull with the DVD and screaming that the reason the movie sucked had nothing to do with Christian Bale's accent.

(Except for Snoop who sounds even more like Snoop out of role than in.)
