Re: OT: Season 3 BSG
billy should've exited during the election scandal, that would've been a far better exit for him, and allow him to return for cameos.
I personally think the exit of pegasus would've been not because of story concerns, but because of budget.

Re: OT: Season 3 BSG
I don't see why it would be a budget thing. IIRC all the ships in the new series are CG, aren't they?

Re: OT: Season 3 BSG
SciFi channel is infamous for their budget. Normally they only allocate 3/4ths the normal amount of money. RDM and Eick has both commented how scifi has been riding them on the budget since captain's hand and the declaining ratings.
Budget is a huge factor when you consider the average BSG episode runs 2-3 million dollars, and ones like pegasus, ressurection 1 & 2 , captain's hand, lay down your burdens 1 & 2, and Exodus can run as high as 3-5 million each because of all the CG shots and location shoots.
Budget was a huge factor in Enterprise (2-4 million per episode) being cancelled and Stargate SG1 (upwards of 3-5 million).
I should also point out the reason why all the corners are cut on paper and displays from BSG is an injoke about SciFi channel's insistance on cutting corners for the budget.
Pegasus's internal sets are also the sets of the Jupiter II from ost in Space

Re: OT: Season 3 BSG
So how much does a 30-second advertisement on BSG cost?
The last episode was 43 minutes out of 60,
which gives about 60-43 = 17 x2= 34 30-second spots.

Re: OT: Season 3 BSG
That was some good Galactica! But does anyone know the name of that episode? Was it just Exodus Part 2, or...? I don't actually get Sci-Fi where I am, so I have to rely on downloading it the next day, but this week's download didn't have an episode title for some reason.

Billy, the actor, waited and waited and waited to sign a contract to re-up for the series, ultimitely didn't and was killed off.
EDIT: But I agree - it would have made more dramatic sense if they could have waited until during the scandal to off him.

Re: C&C3:Tiberium Wars
Okay, I know I'm a little late but I just caught up with the latest episode of BSG and I have to say they done did good.
I'm glad to see the Pegasus (that "elephant in the corner") finally go, but I'm also happy they did it with a certain flair. Love how many Basestar's it cost the Cylons to finally kill the ol' Beast.
And ya REALLY gotta love Adama's "Atmospheric Ambush Manuever" !!! You have to admit, THAT was truly original.
