TV/Movie Talk - Battlestar Galactica: The Plan

Well, it took me a while to re-watching this one again. I’ll get into why down later, though. Battlestar Galactica: The Plan was released on DVD during October of 2009. I didn’t end up seeing the movie until it aired on Syfy in early 2010. I haven’t done much research in this, but it was shot alongside the final episodes of the show. The idea for the movie was to show what the Cylons’ plan was for humanity. That shouldn’t have been too complex to know: they wanted to blow them up! Still, the creators wanted to add a little more to the mythos. They even got Edward James Olmos to direct the 112 minute feature.

The movie revolves around Cylon #1 or “Cavil” (Dean Stockwell) as he and the rest of the Cylons plan humanity’s destruction. Cavil also has plans for the Final Five Cylon models (the ones that helped the Caprican Cylons with resurrection) to see what they’ve done to humanity. The fall happens but plans change when it’s revealed that a group of humans (the BSG and the fleet) are still alive. We then see Cavil and the other Cylons scheme and plan to take down the fleet over the first two seasons. Meanwhile, on Caprica, a Cavil model tries to befriend Anders, one of the Final Five. It all ends pretty much where “Lay Down Your Burdens” ends with the two Cavils being shot out into space.

My Top Eight Best Series Finales

Well, since I have jumped on, destroyed, and "threw into the sun" my five worst last episodes, I think it's time to talk about my favorite last episodes. First, here are the honorable mentions:

Lost: "The End"

We are gathered today at.... Saint Blabbady Due-Wow Synagogue.

Yes, it didn't make it to the final eight. I do think that it was a good finale. It focused on the characters and explain what that alternate universe was. I won't say what it was because...it's kinda open to interpretation. Yeah, they didn't explain everything, I know. Anyway, I came into the show late, and I still think it was a pretty good end.
