I loved the last episode of Battlestar. Everyone was expecting for the ending to be some kind of super gritty Kill'Em All kinda deal and it turned out to have been a Happily Sailing Into the Sunset kinda deal where the whole "God" thing went over everyone's heads, never getting properly explained (though Jane Espenson, one of the writers, who happened to pen The Plan, did dish details of what in her mind it was).
I just loved it. If you go ahead and watch Caprica, pay attention to specific things, and also a particular sequence at the end, it comes off clearly the "God" thing is a prissy asshole (and no, I don't mean the tweeny brat screaming "I am God" though that was admittedly awesome). And I loved that turn of events.

You say that like its a bad thing?MrShadowzs said:
As long as it has a better cast and effects budget than Neverwhere, bring it! I like a good bit of Gaiman.
I dunno, I liked the ending of American Gods. Although I admit the second act is superior. Then again, I don't think 'The journey is more important than the destination' matters more anywhere than in a road trip story.
I love all the love Neil is getting, he deserves it.

Loved the book, but I'm cautious about any attempts to turn it into a tv miniseries (Stephen King's various attempts come to mind). What I'm worried the most about, however, is who they'll cast for the part of Shadow. Weird as this sound, whenever Shadow was around in the book I always imagined him as Jason Statham, voice included. I'm worried about how my inner monologue whenever I reread the book will be disrupted by Neil Gaiman's own interpretation of a real life Shadow.
On the other hand, Mr. Wednesday should be easy enough to cast. I always thought of him as a mix between Jeff Bridges or Jeff Fahey. Gary Oldman would probably make a good Loki, too.

Seconded, I thought the ending to BSG was great, it wrapped up all the characters stories but left just enough mystery hanging.TAKE IT BACKSenor Smoke21 said:
I liked many of the ending character arcs, Starbuck excluded, but the last scene with Baltar and Six was just terrible. In my opinion, the series should have ended with the finale of 4.0 as the cast was stranded on a blasted Earth.burymagnets said:Seconded, I thought the ending to BSG was great, it wrapped up all the characters stories but left just enough mystery hanging.TAKE IT BACKSenor Smoke21 said:
