The title says it all - Wired has a nice interview with Ronald Moore:

Read an Extended Version of Wired's Interview With Ron Moore

I know I'm going to regret saying this - but I've been disappointed with the last 4-5 episodes. I feel like the show is stuttering - like it's using "filler" episodes instead of really moving the plot along.

I mean sure things are happening, but what's really gone on lately?

We had a civil war. But it seemed to peter out into nothing.

Starbuck went out... and found nothing.

The president was kidnapped. Ok, that was big - but nothing more happened with that last episode.

I don't know - but I'm getting frustrated. I don't mind the reflective episodes. The trial last season was very well done. But I think things are moving too slow now.

Well of course it is! But seriously - what I mean is - like Lost, are we in a world where magic (or religion, whatever) rules, or will everything have a technical explanation? We all saw Starbuck blow up - but you possibly could squeeze out some of kind of technical way for her to get out (transporters?), but with the all the mysticism in the show, I'm learning more towards a "magic" answer. That's not necessarily bad of course, but it does open the door for possible endings quite a bit.

And this is a minor thing - but why was Starbuck's ship rebuilt? It seems like a minor detail, but they made a big deal out of it.

Oh - and how many people think the Hybrid in Razor was right about Starbuck leading everyone to their death? I don't think he said death precisely - something more vague like their "end", but that could have multiple meanings. It could be the end of their civilization as they know it, but not a physical death.

You can now watch the first episode of BSG at SciFI.com. Unfortunately, I'm at a conference, and while I thought I'd give it a try, the wireless isn't fast enough to stream it. I'm staring at a black screen while banging my head on the desk.

Playing around with hulu.com tonight, I found this gem. It is one of my favorite scenes from Battlestar Galactica. Chief Tyrol visits Baltar in the cell and they are discussing where Gaius claims to be from. Enjoy!

No, not that way. SciFI is airing the season premiere online 10 hours before the network television premiere. Head over to SciFI.com on April 4 at 12:00pm EST.

Oh and how does a robot get drunk?
