Harlan Ellison Interviews Ronald D. Moore on Why "Battlestar Galactica" is So Da

[robwright]

At the recent Screenwriting Expo 5 in Los Angeles, one of science fiction's finest novelists, Harlan Ellison, sat down for a chat with one of television's best writers, Ronald D. Moore of "Battlestar Galactica". The two talked about the success of the show, Moore's experiences with Star Trek, and how "Battlestar" parallels our own reality.

Brilliant story telling, damn good acting, suspense filled directing, you just simply can't miss an episode of Battlestar Galactica, Love the show, right from the 1st episode.

All I have to say is, I hope his 2 more season prediction is a low-ball guess.

Battlestar Gallactica has been sucessful because the series has been approached and produced with a serious view. The "cheeze" factor found in many sci-fi series such as "Star Trek: Voyager, Stargate SG-1, and Star Trek: Enterprise" is non existant.

The acting is superb as well as plot, story line, and execution.

I really hope to see at least 4 more season of this show, I get excited every Friday because I know there is a new episode coming.

Series 1 was uterly brilliant.

Didn't think series 2 could pull off the same but it started even better. Have to say some of the episodes towards the end of 2 haven't really been as good at all and I have yet to see any of 3.

In saying that though BSG has to be the best sci fi in years.
