Battlestar Galactica comes to an ending this Friday … but why does it have to terminate at all ? Never listen Caprica , here’re some other possible additions to the BSG family unit that could one Clarence Day happen .
ungentle Drama Series
For an SF serial publication about spirituality , humanity ’s true nature and the hotness of the cylon women , Galactica has always had a curiously gentle - leash feeling to it ( especially in episodes like “ Dirty Hands , ” where Tyrol stands up for the rights of the refinery worker ) . So why not lionize that with a dramatic play all about the unnamed schlubs who are n’t part of the military , nor have luck to fulfill and prophecy to gather … but are just judge to make an good day ’s living in the middle of the destruction of the human raceway ? Keep the cylons out of it as anything more than on occasion - name boogeyman and allow Galactica ’s societal commentary to come up to the stem and quell there for once . Let The Wire ’s David Simon consort the writers ’ elbow room and see what chance .
Friday Night Frak - Up
Who would n’t want to see thirty minutes of various members of the Colonial Fleet beating the crap out’ve each other ? Yes,“Unfinished Business”was only the root , and Friday Night Frak - Up could be exactly what an audience who found themselves all hot and bothered at the mint of Apollo and Starbuck pugilism is look for : Half an minute of Katee Sackhoff and Jamie Bamber hidrosis and grunting a lot , with added violence . It ’s a ratings winner , allow in it .
Cottle MD
The high concept speak for itself ; it ’s House in space . Galactica ’s chain - smoke , crotchety doctor has been an oddly calming mien throughout the show ’s story , never failing in his ability to speak bluntly and make even the worst site just a little bit bleaker . This is what I ’m suggesting – An hr - longsighted dramatic play about Cottle moving to a new infirmary ship where the boss hate him but also has a calf love on him , he has three blemished wizard as assistants , and John Hodgman ’s genius surgeon is his long - suffering best friend . cabbage it onto NBC as a renewal for er and Emmies look , I ’m telling you .
‘ Til Death And Subsequent Resurrection Do Us Part
marital bliss is impossible for most sitcom couple … but what chance when the blushing St. Bridget is a human - obliterate political machine ? That ’s the interrogation behind what could be the most groundbreaking situation clowning ever see on the Sci Fi Channel . One human male person , one cylon female person and a whole household full of “ uproarious mistaking ” await as the union between humanity and the cylon raceway reaches the domestic frontier , where they ’ll be glad that – in blank – no - one can hear you scream “ I want a divorcement ! ”
Top Colonial Chef
This one ’s a winner . Fifteen chef fight for the claim of Top Chef … but one of them is a cylon sleeper agent who keeps sabotaging everyone else ’s dish . And , as if that was n’t enough to concern about , the ever - dwindle food provision keep all the contestants on their toe – which is a good thing , conceive that there ’s no knowing which of the contestants will discover their domicile under attack from cylons , military coups or even just plain routine thuggery . The tagline sells itself : “ It ’s reality … but out of this world ! ” No ? Well , perchance I could interest you in “ Gaius Baltar ’s Spiritual Awakening Hour ” or “ My Own Worst Enemy ( Is A Sexy blond fair sex In My Head Who May Be A Cylon Or Possibly A Personification Of My Own ego - Loathing ) ” … ? Sadly , I fuck off too many of ’em …
