I'm going to write more extensively on the final episode of the season ("Crossroads, Part 2") later, but for now, here's a link to an interview with Ronald D. Moore in which he talks about the season-ender and where "Battlestar Galactica" is heading next.
In the Koreablogosphere, Stafford gets full honors for scooping us regarding Starbuck, who is apparently alive (meaning that Ron Moore is using his podcasts to mislead his audience). Looks as though my original intuition was correct. I shouldn't have second-guessed myself.
Ah, yes: Stafford offers a great link to this very, very geeky unofficial podcast that discusses the final episode. Only for true BSG geeks.

Arrrrgh! What a cocktease that last five minutes was... but I'm not gonna jump to conclusions and say that Starbuck isn't dead. Maybe its a "head Starbuck"? Or a cylcon-made animatronic version that we'll only see from the waits up?
ReplyDeleteSucks that they couldn't use the Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower"... this version sounded like something you'd hear on American Idol.
Buuut... for those with DVRs, did you also rewind to the very last shot to see just how close they are to Earth? Pretty damn close (relatively speaking).
