New Moore Podcasts

Sci-Fi.Com has posted new Battlestar Galactica podcasts. The Hub, has commentary by executive producer Ronald D. Moore, Jane Espenson (co-exective producer/writer of the episode), Michael O'Halloran (editor of episode), and Andrew Seklir (supervising editor). For "Revelations" you can listen to commentary by Moore, David Weddle (writer of the episode), Bradley Thompson (writer of the episode), and Julius Ramsay (editor).

If you subscribe to the podcasts you'll also note they added the commentary for "Faith" to the feed. But, that podcast was posted online to scifi.com a while ago. However it didn't turn out well, and is of really poor audio quality due to technical problems Ron was having.

So, that's why they recorded the podcasts for The Hub and Revelations at the studio, so as produce higher quality podcasts.

Check them out, they are well worth listening to.

Also, Trek Movie Report has the last segment of their interview with Ron Moore online.

That is truly, truly awesome. Worth the wait!

Very neat. Only checked the one for 'Revelations' but at least now its confirmed that it IS Manhattan we're looking at =D

I also agree that the ejected viper pilot was lacking the drama for the viewer to get upset about it.

Erm, you need to listen to it again. He does not in any way confirm that it's Manhattan.

Yeah, if they confirmed that it was Manhattan then I must have missed that in the Revelations podcast. Speaking of, I think the podcasts are more interesting and informative when it's just RDM.

I really liked both of the new podcasts. It was cool to hear from writer Jane Espenson about The Hub.

Freek said...

He said something along the lines of putting more skyscrapers and buildings in, the bridge was larger etc. and mentions Manhattan somewhere. You have to listen carefully because he doesn't just flat out say 'hey, it's Manhattan guys'

yes he mentions that it would have made it look more like manhattan or however he worded it. but yes he DID say manhattan but he didn't say it was definitively manhattan. although that is exactly what i believe it is. he did however make a comment about it being earth. so all the naysayers need to just give it a rest already. it IS earth. it may not be the earth the naysayers wanted but it IS earth.

Have any of you folks listened to that interview SyFy Portal did recently with David Weddle where he talks about Earth as the metaphor for all one's hopes, dreams and goals? An interesting thought.

A side-by-side-by-side composite image of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the Revelations BSG bridge ruins, and the Brookly Bridge show clearly that it is supposed to be NYC and the remains of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Here is the PhotoBucket URL for the image:

There are suspension cable remnants hanging down near the pier and pylons of what remains of the bridge. The thicker support cables of Sydney bridge are not near the end pylons as they are in the ruins image. We must assume the nuclear blast(s) blew off most of the brick pylon structures reducing them down to the size they are in the Revelations images. One pylon is a nub, the middle one leans toward the right of the image, and the third stands straight.

Settled.
