*nod* In an earlier draft of this little quasi-rant, I joked that BSG may show up in future scriptwriting textbooks primarily as an example of what happens if you try to tell a multi-season story arc without having an outline first. A lot of writers hate outlining, but a lot of writers who think they can make up something very complicated as they go along discover that's not so easy -- and unlike novelists, when you're making it up while your TV series is airing, you don't get to say, "Oh, crap! Let's just say the third season was a first draft and restart from there."
