My mission for FanExpo 2008 in Toronto was simple ? attend the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA [BSG] Q&A.? Those fans lucky enough to get in enjoyed an hour of Edward James Olmos (Admiral William Adama) and Aaron Douglas (Chief Galen Tyrol) as they shared stories from behind the scenes, revealed details on both the final episodes and the upcoming film, and even hinted at who could be revealed as the final Cylon.?

Olmos, in his first appearance at a North American sci-fi conference, spoke passionately about his experience on the show.? He stated that BSG is ?the finest dramatic show in TV history so far.?? He expanded on this by explaining how the sci-fi genre allows the exploration of issues that other dramatic series will not go near.? Olmos remarked that BSG has not only elevated the entire sci-fi genre, it has also elevated dramatic structure overall.? He also paid tribute to the longevity of the series ? that 25 years from now, there will be an even better understanding of it, much like 17th Century literature, or films like BLADE RUNNER.
