Moore: Cavill killing himself actually came from Dean Stockwell. There was some internecine warfare that occurred among the cylons themselves, which was another repetition in the cycle of “all of this has happened before and all will happen again.” Even they, who were the rebels that split off, enough of humanity in them as cylons that they eventually destroyed themselves. Moore: The backstory of the original Earth was supposed to be that the 13th tribe of cylons came to that world, started over and essentially destroyed themselves. Moore: We also had this image of Six walking through Times Square that we came up with long ago. Or, more directly, Lee said we would give them the better part of ourselves.Įick: There was a time when we were talking about “they land, and its Pterodactyls and Tyrannosaurus Rex.” But the idea that they were part of the genus of humankind seemed like the right-and more affordable!-way to do that. somehow spread down through eons and came to us through the collective unconsciousness. That only made sense to us in terms of a lot of things that we see in the show and we feel are taken from our contemporary world are actually theirs to begin with. In the early, we would talk about the fact that we would see a lot of contemporary things in the show from language to wardrobe to all kinds of production design details. I don’t think we ever really had a version of the show where we in the future or in the present, those didn’t seem as interesting.
Moore: We decided that a couple of years ago. The intention was that everyone who was aboard the colony would perish.Īt what point did you decide to make it Earth-of-the-past that we were going to wind up on, and what was your reason for that?
I think as we went through the, when we kept cutting frames and doing this and that, one of the things that became less apparent was that the colony was doomed. It was scripted and the idea was that when Racetrack hits the nukes-the nukes come in and smack into the colony-it takes the colony out of the stream that was swirling around the singularity and fell in and was destroyed. Moore: The final came out a little less clear on that than I intended…. Are we to assume there are a lot of pissed off Cavills out there still, or were they destroyed? We see Galactica jump away from the Colony. We decided that the more you try to put a name on it, the less interesting it became, and we just decided this was the most interesting way for her to go out, with her just disappearing and. We debated back and forth in the writers’ room about giving it more clarity and saying definitively what she is. That was her role, her destiny in the show. Kara Thrace died and was resurrected and came back and took the people to their final end. It’s easy to put the label on her of “angel” or “messenger of God” or something like that.
In couple of interviews and in the last podcast I tried to go out of my way to say "look, don’t spend too much time and energy on this particular theory," because it was never intended to be that major a piece of the mythology. Then people really started grabbing on to it and seizing on it as some major part of the mythology. I was kind of surprised when I started picking up speculation online.įor those of you who don’t know, there was a deep part of the cylon backstory that had to do with one of the cylons that was created by the final five was later sort of aborted by Cavill… it was always intended just to be sort of an interesting bit of backstory about Cavill and his jealously. It was an unintentional rabbit hole, to be honest. Ron Moore: Daniel is definitely a rabbit hole. What exactly was Kara, and were people chasing down a rabbit hole when they assumed her father was Daniel, the missing 8th model cylon? Needless to say, what follows below the jump contains MASSIVE SPOILERS if you haven't already seen tonight's show, so don't say you weren't warned! We were just as brimming with questions as you are about the finale, and here are some of the answers we got. Earlier this week in New York, Battlestar Galactica 's co-creators David Eick and Ron Moore, along with cast members Mary McDonnell (President Roslin) and Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama), sat down with the press for a Q&A session following a screening of the last episode.
