TV with MeeVee posted an exclusive interview with Battlestar Galactica producer Ronald D. Moore, in which he reveals some of his plans for the upcoming fourth (and last) season. Here are few excerpts.
You've already started shooting the fourth season. Is there a definitive ending yet?
We have mapped out in detail half the season. In general terms, we've talked about what the ending of the show is. We all kind of know what the shape of that's going to be. We have a general sense of these events will happen, and this where we're going to end up, but we haven't specifically lined up where say, each individual character is going. We just know the general parameters.
Have you thought about which Earth they're going to reach?
Oh yes, I'm pretty sure what Earth they're going to. I was just on the set yesterday, talking to a couple of writers and we had a new idea that it could be this other time too. That would change a lot of our assumptions about what we're doing, but we're still in a place where we're trying to be free and open to ideas.
Tell us about the new movie coming out midseason.
It's called "Razor." It's a storyline that delves into the Battlestar Pegasus quite a bit - back to the beginning, seeing the Cylon attack, what happens to Pegasus during the Cylon attack, and events that were talked about in backstories when those episodes were originally broadcast. It moves through time actually, sequentially. You get up to the point where Lee is in command of Pegasus and then you start dealing with his first mission as commander of the Pegasus. Eventually things that are said and done in "Razor" set up certain things that happen in the fourth season.
The full interview is here.
Plus, producer David Eick talks about the possibility of a Galactica feature film in a video interview at IESB.
