An extremely attentive watcher of the show asked a question to Moore. He responds in his blog:
"In the mini series, when the Cylon fighters are approaching Colonial One (just before Lee saves the day with the EM pulse), Roslin refuses to run and leave the other civilian ships to their doom... Yet she articulated no alternative plan.
What was she hoping to do? It just seemed as though she planned to sit there and hope for the best, refusing to budge from the principle of not leaving defenseless people behind, even if that meant her own virtual suicide. It was an odd moment, she had been so decisive and clear headed up to then, and after that. What were her motivations, did she even have a plan? I still find this moment a little jarring and hard to explain away. I guess it does serve as a contrast to her later decision to leave Cammy etc behind. Thanks for your insights into this issue."
I am completely amazed with Moore's very interactive dealings with the audience. This type of dialog between the creators of a show and the fans is something I have really only seen with some of the Massive Multiplayer Online Gaming (MMOG)communities. Let's hope all shows engage their fans this way in the future. It adds so much to what is largely the passive experience of watching TV.
