Morning, shippers! So our game of Clue from yesterday is still going strong: 18 stories so far and some new prompts posted overnight. I've also added an optional twist for an extra challenge into the rules for today! Feel free to check it out and keep writing!

Now for today...I thought we could stroll down speculation lane for a bit...

A lot of folks lamented the rushed way the producers tied things up in the final season. What if our crew hadn't found Earth at the end of Season Four? What if Daybreak parts one and two never happened? If you were to end Season 4 with Ellen's info dump in Deadlocked (or was it No Exit?), before Hera went missing, where would you take the story in a Season Five? Let's imagine that cylon goo holding the ship together would have given them more time, where do you think the show could have progressed? What could have been gained with more time? What might have happened in Kara and Lee's relationship?

Alternatively, perhaps you're a canon purist. The only way you can imagine a Season Five is if it picks up right where the show left off...but there's a catch. All the players are still contracted to appear in S5, even ones who died (or poofed) in S4. Where do you take the story? Is it just endless versions of Macbeth--Lee and Bill being haunted by ghosts and talking to themselves out loud as they ramble around Earth? Can you make a story out of it? Can you make a love story for Lee and Kara (Hey, it worked for Ghost?)

Speculate to your heart's content! Or rant at the injustice of what we got! Or post an ode to K/L? Use this space as you see fit!
