wired.com — Wired Magazine has posted online an interesting interview with Battlestar Galactica showrunner Ron D. Moore. In it he discusses several topics such as his philosophies behind BSG's relaunch and its prequel series Caprica and his new Fox show Virtuality, his work on the Star Trek franchise as well as his personal history and religious beliefs

When he decided it was to end this season, this season tightened up considerably over much of season 3.(Also, I digg [almost] any reply that properly uses "its.")

You are plagued with misinformation. WGA Strike. It's not the ratings.

He didn't steal s**t. It's called they both used the same special effect company and Glory Josh Whedon didn't invent the "Hand Held Camera"

Oh frak.Well, we know S4 is the last series, but do they have to screw around with it?OK, mebbe the WGA strike does have an impact (I don't know if there is a direct correlation), but I see shows getting the rug pulled out from them because of awful scheduling....Bionic Woman was a very good example, two eps, then three weeks off before one ep, then another two week break (Super Bowl was one week), then another two eps...etc...how can a following for a series build with that lack of commitment from the networks?

Somebody better let Joss Whedon know he stole "herky-jerky" camera from Ricky Gervais

I am a fan of both Lost and BSG, with heavy leanings towards BSG as the better show n terms of writing and great characters. Thus is pains me to agree right now. Lost season 3 was a mess and was losing its' way while BSG was firing on all cylinders. Season 4 seems to have reversed that trend. Lost got really compelling this season while BSG is off to a pretty disappointing (though still far from *bad*) start for their final season. I'm hoping this has more to do with the writers' strike earlier this year than anything else, hence the second stretch of this season will be vastly improved. *crosses fingers*To those who bitch about BSG being more soap opera than sci-fi... have you actually been watching the show? The sci-fi has always taken a back seat to the drama and characters. Some of BSGs best episodes were grounded in reality while some of the weakest elements have centered around the mythology of the show IMHO. It's the great characters that make you care about such goofy things as some magic arrow that points the way or off the wall hybrids spouting seemingly random riddles. The only reason the sci-fi elements work at all is because the characters sell it and you care about their plight.
