"Sorry, nobody told me you were one of us..."
For a short time this show was able to transcend it's humble, somewhat embarrassing roots, but now I just don't care about it or its so-called secrets. Nevertheless, there's this news:
So for all you "Battlestar Galactica" die-hards, here's a rundown of what to look for in the show's fourth and final season.Who is the final cylon? How will Adama and Starbuck resolve their relationship? What will Baltar get up to? What can we learn of the mysterious House-like Romo Lampkin?
- Showrunner Ron Moore confirmed that the identity of the fifth and final Cylon will be revealed late in the series, perhaps as late as the final episode.
- This season will see lots of Adama-Starbuck conflict, especially the first episode. No one will be left saying "Gee, I wish there was more Adama/Kara scenes."
- Baltar's arc will be shocking and thrilling to fans of the character. Said Tricia Helfer (Number Six): "Baltar's getting a lot of action this season, and I haven't been involved."
- Moore is hoping to bring back lawyer Romo Lampkin from the season-three finale.
Who freaking cares?
I'm sure the answers to these questions and others will be just as arbitrary, just unmotivated, just as self-indulgent as everything else that's happened on this show.
You have to think that this show would be going past four seasons if it hadn't gone out of its way to be provocative for the sake of being provocative, while not actually having the writing chops to live up to its own hype. Ultimately all Ron Moore has achieved with his show is the large number of casual viewers and fans he's chased away.
