Battlestar Galactica
Holy frak.
Not sure how interested I am in continuing to watch the series at this point. I can't say I've been thrilled with season 3 - there's a point where the angst threshold gets exceeded. And Battlestar Galactica has been past that for a while now. But it has interesting characters and a fascinating premise / setting, so I've been sticking it out.
I'm kinda holding out hope that the thing-that-was-part-of-the-character's-imagination wasn't only in said character's imagination, thus making a return possible. I guess it depends on how contract negotiations for fourth season pan out.

That's what I am talking about. Every time some show does something like this...it just wreaks of last minute money problems.
But, I have always wanted to see what happens when a show kills off one of the key characters. Even though it spells doom to the show...it's an interesting idea.

Yeah. On the one hand, it could easily be one last emotionally powerful episode from a show that needs to quit before it jumps the shark.
On the other... well, there is no other, but I'm prepared to be surprised. I mean, having said character appear at the very end of the season finale with a "By Your Command" could potentially be cool and all, but that was pretty much DONE with the miniseries, before they brought up the storyline of the Final Five.
Any other way of bringing the character back would probably stretch credulity, unless they REALLY REALLY hint at it soon. And if they set up lots of clues that we audience members might have missed (was it really the same ship?)
I mean, they brought back President Roslin from the brink of death, and they left Adama Senior sleep through the first half of the second season. So its not unknown. But they did it with such finality this time that its hard to figure out how they'd pull it off without losing credability.
And permanently losing the character - even though the character had turned kind of unlikeable this season - just seems like cutting out too big of a chunk from the heart of the show. Particularly in such a meaningless way.
