Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like Larson's ideas for the BSG second season. I kind of felt guilty reading his ideas and
not liking them, so I'm glad I'm not alone. I don't think that Apollo should have become like Starbuck, either...that would basically be like having two of the same character, which would diminish Starbuck's role and make Apollo a lame rip-off. And getting rid of Boxey while having his "father" Apollo abandon him to become a playboy would be pretty crappy.
And having Athena's body engulfed in flames while Adama tries to put the fire out with his bare hands? That's some seriously traumatic stuff right there! Reminds me of something we would otherwise see in the Show That Shall Not Be Named.
I'm glad that you guys also like my idea of a crossover.
