Ron Moore Speaks Up About ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Finale

January’s arrival brings the return of many top shows, as well as the end of some beloved ones, such as Sci Fi’s Battlestar Galactica. What better way to start off the finale than to talk about it, especially if you’re hearing words straight from the mouth of the series’ creator? The Star Ledger recently posted an interview they did with Ron Moore, and the Emmy Award-nominated legend discussed what’s to come. “I knew the series of “Battlestar Galactica” was going to end with a period at the end of the sentence,” Moore declared. “Because of the way we’re ending “Battlestar,” I didn’t see other stories beyond it that I felt were interesting or had any real relevance to what the show is about. But we had a very rich backstory to deal with.” – From buddytv.com

We’re counting down to “Battlestar Galactica’s” final episodes. But you know that. May as well start off with the only real bridge to the original series that Ron Moore cultivated: Richard Hatch. The original Apollo, Richard Hatch crusaded for a very different “Battlestar Galactica” than the one most critics now praise. Never actually against Ron Moore’s re-imagined version, he was a strong proponent of just continuing the old series. He was not alone, and though many may not recall the angry e-mails, protests and threats by fans to Ron Moore and any others who plotted to ‘re-imagine’ such a great, albeit short-lived, cult favorite, Hatch does. – From LA Times
