Somebody Stop Today, I Want to Get Off, From Ron Rating Options

[MrsRon]

I don't want this day to happen.

I want it to be rescheduled, rethought, removed and recalled.

Tomorrow the story will be over, my tale having been told, and never again will there be the sweet anticipation of waiting for the next episode to be shown to fans and friends. The thought of it makes my heart ache even as swells with pride.

All I know is that today there is a show called Battlestar Galactica and tomorrow there was.

There will be joy in that too, I'm sure, touching the thread of memory and feeling it resonate all the way back to soundstages, locations, cutting rooms, writers' rooms, and sound bays where I lived for all these years and being comforted by the knowledge that a part of me will never truly leave those places. There will be reunions and retrospectives, special editions and extended cuts, interviews and seminars. Solace can be found.

We'd called the last season Senior Year and here, today, as I prepare to present the final episode to an audience of friends, colleagues, and family, I find myself feeling the same way I did on Graduation day at Chowchilla Union High, all those years ago. The mosaic of faces I'd grown accustomed to seeing day after day would regroup for one last event, one last celebration of our lives together and what we'd done, and then it would be gone but for the transcendent threads of memory waiting to resonant down through the years. I didn't want that day to happen either and fervently wished for it to be rescheduled, rethought, removed and recalled.

Somehow I get the feeling that today's wish will not be granted either. So this day, like that one, will wax and wane and all I can do is ride the wave and let it carry me where it will.

Thank you, all of you for coming here through the years. The shippers and the haters, and everyone in between; you've watched and you've posted and you've been a touchstone for my experience with the audience ever since that night back in 2003 when we first declared that the Cylons were created by Man and things were going to be different. It's been a genuine pleasure to surf your thoughts, rants, questions, snarks, complaints, praise, and humor as you watched our story play out and rest assured I will be here again tomorrow poring through the posts, laughing, cursing, sometimes just shrugging at what you take away from this crazy show.

It's been an honor to be your storyteller.

I want it to be rescheduled, rethought, removed and recalled.

Or perhaps reimagined?

[maxbell]

Yeah, yeah. It's over.

And the Caprica premier comes out in April.

And I just read that you finished the script for The Thing.

You didn't honestly think you were going to get rid of me that easily?

*Slow clap slow clap slow clap*

Tell Ron I'm watching one of my favorites, A Disquiet that Follows My Soul, right now on SciFi. There will never be another show like this, with this kind of creator/fan interaction. Mr. Moore, it has been an honor to experience your story. And for me, it will live on in DVD.

And uh....

the toys. And in my heart,, but like worded in a way that's more alpha male and less fabulous


So say we all!

[Pawnpoko]

huh.

[solecist]

I have so may words, but in lieu of that, I've decided to sum up Ron's heartfelt message in a tasteful bomb.



Thanks Ron. It's been a good ride, and I look forward to your future endeavors.

THANK YOU. This show has been with me since the beginning. I met my wife to be, dated, and of course married in the course of this show. It has been long time since a show has grabbed me, sucked me in, made me love it for good and bad, and really want to be apart of the show, even if I can't really be. I hope Caprica is a continuation of this great tradition.

[RustiSwordz]

@ Mrs Ron: Remember one thing about the haters and the cynics: most of them are not trolls, or ignorant cretins with chips on their shoulders. They care about the show they grew to love and became concerned that it didn't fulfil their expectations because of the changes over the seasons.

If the situation were reversed...

Aside from that its been a cool 5 years, there hasn't been another show out there that has captivated me in over a decade, good or bad.

EJO said in an interview season 4 will mess with our heads and he was right, spot on!

Yes sad its ending.

And now, I am crying. Thank you for these beautiful words and thoughts. Thank you for a show that made me think, and re-think, and think again about some of my own dearly held beliefs. Thank you for making me look at them in that mirror, and seeing them in another way. And most of all thank you for giving me that point of view that made me change in ways both large and small. Shades of grey, in my thoughts some things were always Black and White, I have learned that they really aren't, there are shades of grey there. Meaning to be found, lessons to be learned, and a message to spread.

Thank you so very much for the ride of my life!

SO SAY WE ALL!
