Hercules Twitters From Comic Con’s Friday GALACTICA: THE PLAN / CAPRICA Panel!!

Published at:  Jul 24, 2009 4:42:38 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!


I am – Hercules!!




My notes from Comic Con's Friday “Battlestar Galactica: The Plan”/”Caprica” panel, starring Ronald D. Moore, Jane Espenson, David Eick, Edward Janes Olmos, Esai Morales and Grace Park, for those who can’t yet afford Twitter:

Now in the rear of Ballroom 20 for the Caprica/BSG The Plan panel. Couldn't get on Twitter during the Stargate Universe panel.

The two Adamas, Olmos and Morales, are seated together -- maybe for the first time??

No, the two Adamas previously played father & son (Olmos the father that time) in “Mi Familia.”

Gimme Shelter used for The Plan trailer, which looks epic. Goosebumps!

Morales not a pre-existing BSG fan.

Espenson describes the PLAN script, sp rooted in BSG continuity, as a Rubic's Cube.

Not one of the many naked breasts in th CAPRICA pilot will not be seen on Syfy, says Ron Moore.

Espenson went through lots of old scripts to write The Plan -- faster, she says, than watching old episodes.

Moore calls the show's Emmy snubs "criminal.”

The moderator has seen THE PLAN and said Espenaon loaded it with dark comedy.

Jan 22 2010 is the premiere date of CAPRICA.

Olmos predicts more BSG movies after THE PLAN.

Espenson says an upcoming episode is set on Scopion.

The language of Tauron is ancient Greek

Moore says he's doing a commentary for VIRTUALITY whether they put it on a DVD or not.

espenson says BUFFY fans will enjoy the angry teenage robot girl, if nothing else.

morales says he was fearful of a more Olmos-like actor auditioning for Joe Adama.

    Double negatives - aren't you supposed to be a writer?

    by rhuragh

    "Not one of the many naked breasts in th CAPRICA pilot will not be seen on Syfy, says Ron Moore." So, with the double negative "none will not be seen," I guess that means all of them will be seen!

    by lockesbrokenleg

    I could give a rats ass about The Plan Or Caprica. I don't to see Dean Stockwell hamming it up again. Just let me get the rest of the seasons DVDs next week, and I'm done.

    Have no expectations for the Plan

    by thegoldbergv

    and I LOVED the finale and the final season. But I do get the feeling its done and finished now. Of course I'll still buy it on DVD and I really hope its good. But its not necessary, so geting excited for it is just not worth it.


    And yay! BSG talkback! Fuck Dixholster or whatever the fuck his name was

    Hey Moore! Let me put the reason for those "snubs" in terms that you can relate to: It was Deus Ex Machina.

    @moryan (Maureen Ryan) & @sepinwall (Alan Sepinwall) are tweeting up a storm. No sign of Herc. He's either dead or his battery is.

    I thought if Herc would cover one thing at Comic Con it would be the Dollhouse panel, including an in-depth review of Epitaph One. Guess not.

    by buffywrestling

    Seriously...read the tag. Tweets from moryan, sepinwall & whedonesque:


    [BIG spoiler alert] Re #EpitaphOne, we see memories set in future but veracity of those memories will be questioned. Not nec "whole truth"

    "So long as I don't send anyone to feudal Japan, we're okay." Apparently, Joss has seen Heroes

    "Who doesn't love a good zombie apocalypse?" but there are not intentional similarities btw Firefly and implications of Epitaph One

    Felicia Day and others from E1 will be back in DH S2E1

    by buffywrestling

    would proably be opening up a D'House TB after the panel was over. I was panicky & jumped the gun. But I actually thought his phone might have died. Also been hearing all day how sketchy the wi-fi has been at the Con.

    But is it really a "hi-jack" when you can post what ever the fuck you want at any time?

    See you next Friday, Shorty.


    PS: It's only a 13 ep run again, BrokeLock. It won't make 'til summer. They are going to once again play the season continously. Yes, and FOX does have D'House marked off for the second half of the Fall season, but that does *NOT* mean a renewal.

    by medicinaluser

    You just know it, she has had to go through old scripts because she knows sweet fuck all about the show she works on.Of all the writers on that show aswell as other folks who could have been given the gig of putting *The Plan* AND *Caprica* together SHE was the one who won out.Bastard who made that choice needs removing from his/her source of oxygen.I will pray to the Gods somehow this turns out good.

    really, if you want to see a humanity and robots destroying each other story, only to be given a second, third, fourth and so on chance by a godlike being just watch BIG O or someshit.

    Espenson - How the FUCK does this writer get work?

    by donnadarko

    She writes every script as if Buffy is about to jump in at any moment. No attention to continuity or previous character development. Her final BSG script was one of the WORST of the series - yet Moore handed her Caprica. Outside of a small but vocal fandom, she's a hated JOKE to SF fans

    As long as she's attached to Caprica, I'll pass. After BSG's abortion of an ending, Moore doesn't deserve a second chance anyway.

    Some "fans" are morons...

    by hairy nutsack

    I'll be the first one to say that I would have handled some of the finer details of the BSG finale differently, but overall the series ended exactly the way it had to end.
    "There are those who believe that life here began out there..."
    The original show began with the ending to this one. Or would you idiots have rather had Moore try and update the fucking super scouts?
