DPP: BSG Without Pilots
Hello, Shipper Nation, and welcome to this week's DPP!
Today's question is one that I suspect very few of us (self included) like to think about too often, or at all: what if there were no pilots?
BSG is a big show, with a massive cast to match. Our pilots, much as we love them and important as they were, were just two of those, and their story was one of many (still a big part of it, though). But what if they hadn't been part of the cast at all? What would that show have been like? I mean, think of a miniseries without this, for starters:
I guess the flipside of the question is, what do you think pilots brought to the show, and the story, that made them - and the show, with them - so special? And would you have taken an interest in BSG if they hadn't existed?
