Re: Season 3 BSG
Atlantis lost me as a member of the audience once I saw the red/yellow/blue uniform color coding they use.
I also think SG1 hung around too long, btw. MGM only intended it for 5 seasons, but when scifi offered to pickup the bill and pay a hefty royalty, who was MGM to refuse?
hopping back a bit,
RDM has said in a few interviews that he's felt extremely strained writing more than 3 episodes in a row, and often points to the bad filler episodes as evidence of that. I think he said he wrote the first five episodes this season back to back and burned out on it. He gave kudos to JMS for his ability to write that whole season of b5 on his own.
Now tv guide had an interview with Eick, talking about the future of the show, the movie, and caprica. He said the movie is an almost certainty, and it's pickup will most likely green-light caprica as well. and as for bsg, he feels 13 episodes is best -- but scifi may give them 7 more to wrap up storylines.
