DPP: Mix & Match

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

I love the early seasons of BSG. There was a sense of humor, a sense of hope, a sense of humanity...all of which slowly got leeched away from the show in later seasons in favor of darkness, doom and cylons. I often comment that I wish that tone of the first 25 episodes could have gone on forever. That I would have liked to see how *that show* resolved.

However, the last few seasons aren’t all bad. We never would have gotten to seen Tigh with his eye patch if not! Or, that gorgeous brig scene in Six of One. So here’s my question--where would you stop the show or change its navigational course (i.e. "My personal canon ends with Unfinished Business Extended") and what would you graft on to it or keep from later seasons?

Maybe they'd never find the Pegasus and that would change things, but Lee would still quit the fleet? Or perhaps all you needed was a perfect 13 and you wanna end it at KLG1 but give Tigh an eye patch from the beginning?

Or the reverse...maybe some of you like seasons 3 and 4 much better than the early seasons, so you'd wish themes in those two happened earlier and there were just a few things from 1 and 2 you'd keep...like the Colonial Day water fight?

Basically it's all about cobbling your ideal or preferred show together from what we saw. What would you take? What would you leave?

BBC time.
