Battlestar Galactica Ron Moore interview – 2009 Banff

I attended a great master class with Ron Moore, Battlestar Galactica writer & executive producer, at 2009 Banff World TV Festival. The following is my one-on-one interview with Ron after the master class talking about,

• influence of the original BSG series and the style of the show
• how the actors/actresses affect the writing of their characters?
• the extensive use of the f-word (frak) in BSG
• implications of discussing of politics, religion, and even abortion in the show
• selection of the characters for the “final five”
• are there aspects of Ron and his life in the characters?
• what are some of the challenges in writing the new series Caprica?
