Battlestar Galactica Showrunner: “The Cylons Had No Plan”
The cast of Syfy's Battlestar Galactica, along with series executive producer/showrunner Ron Moore, reunited for a Q&A panel at the Austin Television Festival this past weekend, where a question was posed - "What was the Cylons' plan?"
As you recall, BSG episodes opened with:
"The cylons were created by man . They evolved. They rebelled. There are many copies. And they have a plan."
"There was no plan," Moore laughed.
"It all came about when we were doing the main titles and we had to have what's called a 'precap' as opposed to a recap," he said. "So we had a precap before the main title. And David
said we should have a punchy line there at the end...'and they have a plan.' And I was like 'What does that mean?' He said 'It doesn't matter, doesn't matter. It'll be great. The audience will love it.'
Opinion: At $499, Who Is the Xbox One X For?
Microsoft has spent the last year hyping up Project Scorpio -- now officially Xbox One X -- as the most powerful console ever made. In that time, we’d been repeatedly told by Head of Xbox Phil Spencer that it would be a premium console at a premium price. And, well, he wasn’t kidding. At $499, I’m not sure who the Scorpio is for.
Is it for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners who haven’t upgraded yet? If those customers are in the market for a 4K-capable console, will third party games run or look sufficiently better to merit the $100 price difference? Will those buyers ignore Sony’s considerably larger software library and first-party stable of games -- not to mention the “first DLC” deals Sony has on major titles like Call of Duty and Destiny? It’s on Microsoft and third-party publishers to definitively show a visual difference between the native 4K they’re touting and the checkerboarding 4K rendering trick that many PS4 Pro games are using.
Microsoft’s VR Focus Is on Windows Right Now, Not Xbox
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer spoke with IGN about Microsoft's present stance on VR, saying the company is currently more focused on virtual reality for Windows than Xbox.
"Where we're really seeing developer interest is on the Windows platform," Spencer told IGN when asked about Microsoft's interest in VR for Xbox One.
Spencer went on to explain how a living room environment isn't best place for VR right now. "We're just finding that that family room experience... you've got your TV across the room and there's cables hanging out across the room," he said, noting they've found "it's better in a desk environment."
The Xbox boss emphasized his desire "to respond to what the gamers are asking us to do," and since they're currently seeing the interest from developers on the Widows platform, that's where Microsoft is putting its VR focus "right now."
