Ronald D. Moore Battlestar Galactica The restart has established the standard for science fiction television, and the fans have been demanding more of this universe since the last episode broadcast in 2009. This desire for fans is only strengthening among the failed efforts to resuscitate this venerable franchise in another television incarnation. If you are one Battlestar Galactica Fans who wanted more content, we have good news: a kind of miniature prequel is hidden in the special features of the “spanded” episode.
The secret prequel to Battlestar Galactica of “dispersed”
“Disphered” is the first episode of the second season of the show, and he opens with Commander Adama wrapping the surprise shot of Boomer and Colonel Tigh before taking command while Cyons get closer to our heroes. Originally, however, Battlestar GalacticaThe producers wanted to make the whole episode a prequel flashback, rigging the fans who hoped that “dispersed” would quickly resolve the end of Cliffhanger of life and the death of season 1. Once they abandoned this idea, they still filmed many flashback scenes that showed how Adam and Tigh met for the first time.
If you are a Battlestar Galactica Fan is hungry to check the value of a flashback prequel, you just need to consult the special features for “dispersed”. Several different scenes in the distant past have been filmed, and all were intended to show how the surprisingly tight relationship between Adama and Tigh has formed over time. These scenes go very far beyond the limited flashbacks that we see in the finished episode, which are there only to expand the character of Tigh.
So you are probably asking a simple question right now: if the Battlestar Galactica The producers filmed enough flashback sequences to create a prequel the size of a bite, then why did they finally left them out of the finished “dispersed”? It all started with the fact that no one wanted to throw younger versions of our favorite characters, so we have Edward James Olmos and Michael Hogan Play versions of their characters who are supposed to be decades younger. This was accomplished by putting the actors in terrible wigs, and the producers finally decided not to torment the viewers with all the flashbacks they had filmed.
Of course, as hardcore Battlestar Galactica Fans know this, the last episode teased always in the prequel that we could have had because “dispersed” do Include the most effective flashback. In a particularly dark scene, we see that a younger carpet was about to commit suicide and was not prevented from doing so by the discovery that Adama had restored it to the military service. Moore saw this scene as a tribute to Apocalypse nowAnd as in this film, it serves as a dark revelation of the way the protagonist is really tormented.
Obviously, we are huge Battlestar Galactica Fans, but although we are grateful for his miniature prequel full of deleted scenes, “displored” is a better episode to keep the flashbacks at least. The last episode does a better job to maintain the momentum of season 1, and we get just enough flashbacks to expand our understanding of TIGH as a character. If we had to watch the terrible flashback wigs longer, we would please Laura Roslin with pleasure the effort and hunting ourselves in the airlock.
