On October 27, David Eick, Ronald D. Moore, Jane Espenson, and Edward James Olmos released upon the world Battlestar Galactica: The Plan<\/a>. The film follows the story of the Cylons from just before the destruction of the colonies to just before they settle New Caprica. It deals with the reason for their attack on the colonies, what they had hoped to achieve through the destruction of the human race, and why they continuously failed to do so.<\/p>\n

But that’s all beside the point. That’s cold, unfeeling words that describe what happens. That’s not what the movie is<\/em>.<\/p>\n

BSG: The Plan is a gorgeously crafted, perfectly choreographed new dance to the same old tune (the one that you kept hearing from the end of season 3 onward). It is a love letter, penned by a poet, and written as a tribute to the fans of the series. It is jaw-droppingly beautiful. It is gut-wrenchingly painful.<\/p>\n

It is a testament to the world crafted during the course of this series that it could be tied so neatly together in one 2-hour package. Not only that, but by revisiting key scenes throughout the first two seasons with gaps filled in, you finally understand how certain characters could change so much by the end of the series. You even begin to see how the decision to work together first came to light.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend that anyone that has seen the series to its end watch this. Twice.<\/p>\n

Oh, and don’t turn it off when the credits roll. The music has to be heard to be believed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
