Trivialidades:

The season 1 finale, "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Parts 1-2", went through a number of changes according to the Podcast commentary for both episodes. Some of these early differences include:

• 1. Part One was to conclude with the Raptor crashing and Part Two would end with Starbuck stealing the Raider to finish the finale with a season-ending cliffhanger. This was changed when the original pacing wasn't working.
• 2. Originally, the ruins on Kobol were supposed to be a huge temple that was mirrored on Caprica. This was abandoned due to cost constraints.
• 3. What Baltar and Number Six experienced inside the ruins on Kobol went through a number of changes. Originally, Ron D. Moore proposed to the other writers that there was supposed to be a bright corridor of light. In a later version, there was to be complete darkness punctuated with music from a song recognizable by both the audience and the two explorers. Then, Dirk Benedict (Starbuck from the original "Battlestar Galactica" (1978)) was supposed appear and say something like, "Hi. I'm God." followed by TO BE CONTINUED... However, the other writers quickly disparaged the idea as implausible, and Ron D. Moore reluctantly agreed.
• 4. One concept that the writers liked, but were forced to abandon was the idea that the interior room of the ruins was to be located in "otherspace" or in a different spatial or dimensional location.

Quotes:

Doctor Gaius Baltar: So the fate... of the entire human race depends upon my wild guess.

No Problems with a Female Lead...but

At the risk of being identified as a spoiler I must make the following comments about this film. Technically I think the film is great. And I've watched it several times but, not because I'm an avid Sci-Fi fan. Rather, this avid Sci-Fi fan is trying, with each viewing, to "get over" the pathetic effort, by the female lead, to "de-feminize" her role. For heavens sake, it's possible for a female actress to portray the role of a strong person, even a fighter pilot, without literally turning into an on-screen cigar chewing, foul mouthed two- fisted bully. If you don't believe me, watch the original ALIEN and see "Ripley" pull it off nicely. Furthermore, if you've ever been in the company of military pilots you soon note that they're the most "unflappable" level headed folks you'll ever meet. They don't throw temper tantrums at the drop of a wrench to show their virility. If the Starbuck character is to be taken seriously as a pilot, regardless the gender, "cool it" and act like one. Now, I'm not blaming the actress for a script that likely originated somewhere upstairs. But, to those bosses upstairs I make this comment. It's an absolute bore to watch such a contrived and unrealistic performance. In this case it taints an otherwise fine movie effort. Let's hope that the follow on series lets up somewhat on Starbuck's "Amazon attack" mode.
