'The Battlestar Galactica Ending That You Didn't See'

Moore said they ultimately didn't go with the ending because they wouldn't have been able to reconcile it with the "reality" of the series.

heck i don't know...that seems more 'real' than what they ended up with.

i think that would have been purty cool.
 
Interesting to say the least. It would have been a killer ending IMHO. It sure would have made viewers think. Nothing like an ending where you sit there in shock with your mouth wide open.

I've always said we were put here on Earth, we didn't evolve out of the primordial soup to what we have become. We are here as BSG showed or put here as an an experiment, which went totally wrong. ;) That's the reason for UFO sightings, and they want nothing to do with the mess they made. :costumes:
 
Change Galactica's final resting place to the Moon and you solve the historical branching problem, explain how artifacts last 150,000 years and simplify landing Galactica.

Of course, one of the most exciting finds would be the remains of the autonomous AI robots. Just think of all the possible applications!

The finale wasn't bad, but could have been so much more.

Maybe the next BSG re-imagining. After all, what has happened before will happen again. :)
 
The last comment there speaks to me. The writer suggests that they should have had a planned story arc -including the ending- before they even began scripting the series.

JMS has proven the "story arc" paradigm works beautifully. The only "bump in the road" for the five-year arc of Babylon 5 was not JMS' fault, but the brilliant recovery of the delayed "fifth year" demonstrates that a well-developed story arc can survive even such a disruption.

As for the "Lost" series, the ones who're truly lost are the script writers...
