Er... And then they had to start retconning, and it didn't work out so well.
Nope it didn't, and somewhere along the way that ended up effecting everything from the basic story to the characters themselves. that said I get the feeling that BSG's double-edged sword is Ron Moore. he can be brilliant at times, but he can also be the shows biggest problem. For when be states in blog casts that he wanted to play with the fans heads by killing Starbuck, then you have a creator who's focus is the wrong way. It should be on the show and telling the story, not doing things "because they are cool". But I'll stop now before I start to ramble. I think my problem is that I loved S1 and first half of S2 of BSG SO much, that the fall from great highs was great indeed.
