Hopefully this project will die like his unnecessary remake attempt of John Boorman's "Excalibur".

Memo to Bryan: Go back to making ORIGINAL movies like oh, The Usual Suspects?

I saw a Futurama rerun last night where there was a concert featuring Cylon and Garfunkel singing Scarborough Fair.

I don't think this will go anywhere.



The Jedi Master

I really want to watch Futurama. Maybe around 2018 I'll get to it.

You'll enjoy it PM, it's very funny.

I'm not sure I like Singer's plan, or would like his work after the Superman Returns debacle, but I have to admit that I'd kind of like to see something new on BSG to wash the bad taste of the ending of the SyFy series out of my mouth.

The rest of the show was great, but that last season and ending just really bugged me. To me, the fourth season of BSG was the like the Star Wars prequels for a lot of people - almost ruined the good stuff that came before it.

Was your issue with the fourth season the pacing and lesser action set pieces compared to previous seasons or was it more about possible story loopholes? Or maybe something else? I mentioned the pacing because I've heard that complaint from some BSG fans before.

In an attempt to avoid fulfilling RawKryptonite's prediction there, I'll keep it brief. It was largely the story loopholes, and the overall change in tone and story focus. Action was a component of that, but not the biggest part, I don't think. I felt it went from kind of a story of survival to a story of the mystic and supernatural.

And just to head off some comments I can see coming, I have no problem with mystic and supernatural stories, I just felt like it was not the show I got interested in at the start. Add that to what I consider to be lazy writing and enormous story loopholes, and it just didn't work for me.

There's no doubt that the mystical/supernatural aspect was there from the very beginning with the miniseries but it indeed came to the forefront in season 4.

Some fans liked that shift and others didn't. I'll just leave it at that.
