Battlestar Galactica: We Will Get Answers
I’m getting more hyped up for Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica and one big thing that whetted my appetite is this interview with the show’s big honcho Ron Moore over at The Star-Ledger. Near the end is a long list of burning questions that the interviewer asks Ron whether or not they’ll be answered in Season 4:
Obviously, the identity of the final Cylon, we will find this out?
Yeah.
The origin and nature of the Final Four and how they different from the rest of them?
Yes.
The origin of the rest of the skinjobs?
Yes.
What happened to Earth and what happened to the 13th Colony?
Yes.
Who, if anyone, is orchestrating all of this?
Basically, yeah. I don’t know if it’s going to be wrapped up in a neat bow. The show has an answer for it, whether it’s a satisfying answer, I don’t know.
Will “All this has happened before and it will happen again” be explained in some way?
Yes.
The opera house?
Yes.
What happened to Kara when she went through the Malestrom?
Pretty much.
Identity and nature of the “head” characters?
Yes.
Tigh and Six’s baby, and whether that means Cylons can breed?
Yes. That’s not a “yes” to whether they can breed — the question will be answered.
The fate of Boomer and whether there are other 1’s, 4’s and 5’s floating out there?
Yes.
Roslin’s health?
Yes.
Okay, that’s a “yes” on all of them.
Awesome — that’s good enough for me. Especially key is the nature of the “head” characters, explaining what the hell is up with Baltar and his perverse relationship with Number 6. I’m aboard!
I’m trying really hard not to get too excited about the final episodes, but am failing horribly!
heh — this article definitely pushed me over the edge. If they manage
to answer that list of questions in a satisfying way I’ll be very happy.
I’m trying to be optimistic, but that’s a lot of plot points to wrap up in the final season.
