BSG Press Conference
Les extraits de cette conférence de presse (01/06/07) de Ron D. Moore et David Eick qui m'ont le plus fait trépigner:
'On ‘bringing closure to relationships’ between characters on the show.'
Moore: Well, that’s the plan, that’s how we approached the story lines as we were breaking them out for the season. The intention would be certainly to concentrate on the characters and their relationships and sort of bring them all to an end point. I don’t know if we’ll resolve every single thing about every single relationship. There’s value in leaving some things to the imagination and having some things that are sort of tantalizingly unresolved. But the intention is to move toward what is the final chapter.
(...)
'On when they began thinking of mapping out the ending.'
Moore: I think it was somewhere around the midpoint of the third season, when we were working on the story where they got to the algae planet and discovered the Temple and the Temple gave D’Anna a glimpse of the Final Five, and then that triggers the beacon that points the way to Earth. Both of those events felt like you were promising the audience that you were moving toward revelation.
And indeed by the end of the season, we had taken that moment, and moved it to, OK, we’re going to reveal four of the final five Cylons, and one of our characters has actually been to Earth and seen it. That was sort of probably the moment when I think we started feeling like, if we don’t start paying this off, if we don’t really reveal those secrets and start moving in that direction, you get to a place where you feel like… you’re just treading water. And we never wanted to be in that position, we wanted to always striding forward and always pushing the show to its limits…
'On whether they have enough time to wrap up the series.'
Moore: It just felt like yeah, this was really the right time. In terms of, have we had enough time -NDLR to tell the stories they wanted to tell-, I feel like we have. We really start taking our cues from the story itself, and it just feels like the story has moved forward aggressively, and that’s one of the things I’m proud of about the series – NDLR it’s - unafraid to take risks and unafraid to move strongly forward instead of trying to tread water. And it just feels like the momentum of the series is now moving toward the conclusion.
(...)
'On how they selected who the four Cylons of the finale would be.'
Eick: Well, there was a big dartboard in the writers room with all the cast members’ pictures on it…
Moore: It was a process. We sat and we talked about it, who would be the final four, and actually we gravitated kind of quickly to these four names, for various reason.
* Tigh was the sexiest, because he was the one with the biggest hatred of the Cylons, he’d killed his own wife because she collaborated with the Cylons, he was a drunk and had all these completely human qualities. There was something amazing about realized that he’s a Cylon.
* Anders has participated in two resistance movements and was drawn to Kara Thrace for reasons unknown. And she had a specific destiny within the mythos of the show.
* Tyrol was the everyman, in some ways one of the most human characters. He was just very unexpected, to believe that he was a Cylon. And yet we’d already built into his backstory that he’d had a religious connection that seemed greater than anyone else’s. When he was on the Temple of the Five on the algae planet, he was sort of drawn there by reasons that had nothing to do with reason or rationality, he had a specific connection to it, he had dreamed about being a Cylon. He’d had emotional reactions about -NDLR Cylons-, he was in love with a Cylon at the beginning of the miniseries.
* Tory was a wild card, she’s the one we knew the least about and could have more fun with, because we weren’t locked into as many choices with her as we were with the others.
