Archief - Battlestar Galactica (S1,S2,S3,S4)

eXowomb zei:

baltar is het beste karakter van ze allemaal... tijdens dat interview in't begin van de mini-serie pilot, hoe'm daar zat daar met zijne vettige grijns - compleet vol van z'n eigen

alleen starbuck is irritant, vooral early starbuck met haar over-the-top heroics. grootste afknapper was als ze tijdens de mini-serie apollo's viper ramde en zo richting landingbay duwde tegen kweeniehoehard. kutwijf.

All 'BSG' Questions Will Be Answered

If you were worried that a few questions wouldn't be answered in the final 10 episodes of "Battlestar Galactica," you apparently have nothing to worry about as, according to actor Jamie Bamber, the final run of episodes will not only reveal the identity of the final Cylon, but will also answer every question the series has offered.

"Yeah, yeah, everything," Bamber told SciFi Wire. "I can't really think of a really loose thread ... Not off the top of my head. I'm sure there are a couple, but I can't think of one."

In the new episodes, the characters will be forced to deal with their grim discovery of a scorched Earth with no 13th tribe awaiting their return. And if you thought that ending was shocking, just wait until you've seen what the season finale has in store.

"Every character has been tortured to death, basically, over the five years," Bamber said. "What you can expect is a really, really good ending. You know, a real ending. And it's all gearing to that, and I think the writers really took it upon themselves to be responsible for all the strange twists and story points and surprises and to try and resolve everything in a way that makes sense.

"And that's a big challenge when you're sort of story-making on the fly over five years ... They've tied everything up. So that's what you can expect, is a satisfactory, very elegant conclusion."

Despite reports that the ending to the series will have fans screaming for a happier ending, Bamber believes that the conclusion the series is perhaps the best written episode the show yet, not to mention the best thing to hit the small screen.

Bamber said he was "blown away," by the recently completed finale. "It's the best thing I've ever read for TV. Yeah. I mean, I hope it translates, and it comes across, and it's not just us, because we're so involved. But I had tears in my eyes, and the thing is, [series creator] Ron [Moore] wrote it on his own, without really any collaboration, and it's sublime."

"Battlestar Galactica" will make its return to the SciFi Channel in January.

SDCC 08: Battlestar's End Begins

Cast, crew call series finale a "perfect" one.

by Phil Pirrello

July 27, 2008 -

"Frakkin' A!"

Those two words best describe the sold-out crowd's reaction to the footage writer-producer Ronald D. Moore screened at the BSG Comic-Con panel. The trailer contained scenes from the series' final episodes.

Kevin Smith, who seemed to be the only thing more consistent at SDCC than the not-so-ELITE security guards, moderated the panel. Joining him in Ballroom 20 were cast members such as Tricia Helfer, James Callis, Katee Sackhoff, Michael Trucco and surprise guests Jamie Bamber and Tahmoh Penikett. Moore and writer / co-producer David Eick also sat in.

One of these people could be the final Cylon, according to Ron Moore.The panelists took their seats, Smith professed his love for the series and then the trailer played. Here's what we saw:

Over black, the following text: "After Four Seasons...The Epic Journey...Comes To An End."

A montage of clips and scenes from past episodes, intercut with the haunting images from the most recent quasi-finale, which revealed ( Spoiler Alert! ) Earth to be an ashen wasteland following what appears to be a nuclear attack. New footage from the remaining final ten episodes begins here, showing Chief Tyrol huddled against a black piece of debris, looking to someone off-screen and saying, "We never should have came here."

A few more flashety-flash cuts, and then we are aboard Galactica, her bulkheads scarred with battle damage. Cut to a room where President Roslin ( with red-hair ) shares a serious conversation with Admiral Adama.

Roslin asks, point-blank, if Adama is a Cylon. "If I am a Cylon," Adama says, "then you're all screwed." The line was met with both laughter and applause, which overlapped into a shot of Adama and a black-haired Roslin sharing a very passionate kiss.

Quick cuts ratcheting up to the climax revealed D'Anna having a conversation with the Hybrid, Apollo slammed against a wall, Six firing a gun, a lot of gunfire, actually - all leading up to the last shot, a push-in on Adama, wearing a white blindfold, with a white square of fabric over his heart and his hands tied behind his back. He's in the airlock, and his posture echoes that of a man before a firing squad, as the camera rushes in and we cut to black as the BSG title appears.

Bill Adama may find himself on the other side of that gun in the finale. DRADIS contact was made with the following final season tidbits:

Moore on the state of affairs after the crew discovered a dead planet: There is an "amount of recrimination, where to go next as they explore Earth. There is a tremendous amount of upheaval. Things aren't pretty on Battlestar. Things really get rough."

Callis revealed that his character, Gaius Baltar, "gains peace with himself", while finding quite the surprising resolution between himself and the cult of women that worship him.

Helfer told the crowd that, in the finale, she "gets to shoot some guns," and that Six's last scene with Gaius involved a lot of "guns, running." Whether they are shooting at each other or firing at someone else remains to be seen, but Helfer best described the filming the ending of BSG "like being in Apocalypse Now.

The final Cylon is "someone we've seen" before, according to Moore. "It won't be a guest star." And in a related note, of all the panelists present, Starbuck herself gave a semi-cryptic response when Smith asked her if she was the one. "I cannot confirm nor deny if I am alive or dead, the final Cylon or not [ in the series finale ], only that Kara finds peace at the end."

All of the panelists agreed that, when they read the script for the finale, that it was the only way for the show to end.

"The ending is a perfect way to finish the show. Does everyone and everything justice," Tahmoh "Helo" Penikett said. "There is a lot of closure, and still some questions left."

Don't frak this up, gang. The answers to many questions will be answered when BSG returns to SCI FI with all new episodes beginning early 2009. Set IGN TV as your jump point for future series updates.
