... TV movie takes place at some point during the show's earlier seasons, and it assumes you'll have all the knowledge about the final Cylon and any other revelations during the final episodes. Moore sort of hinted that it could be retelling some past episodes from the Cylon point of view, which could be kind of fun. Also, the production team is still hoping to make ten BSG webisodes, which would be cowritten by Jane Espenson and Seamus Kevin Fahey, but no contracts are signed yet. [Chicago Tribune] ...

... It contrasts the claustrophobia of the deep-space ship Phaeton with the open expanses the astronauts can visit in virtual reality. There'll be three layers to the storytelling, each with its own visual style: the claustrophobic ship, the virtual world, and the reality TV show the astronauts are starring in.
