My Own Battlestar Galactica Series Finale Script (Part 2 Teaser + Act 1)



If you are curious why I am writing my very own Battlestar Galactica series finale script read below. If you just want to read my very own Battlestar Galactica series finale script, check out the PDF links below.

Here is the 57-page script for part 1:

Here is the first 15 pages (Teaser + Act 1) of part 2:

I hope to have acts 2 and 3 done by Thursday morning and then acts 4 and 5 done by Friday morning, in time for the actual final episode of Battlestar Galactica to air.

Battlestar Galactica is (c) Universal Studios. HOWEVER, the specific story, settings, structure and even a couple characters are (c) ThePete (ME). That said, if UniStu wants the scripts, they're welcome to them--I just ask for some pitch meetings in return (don't know why they'd want them since the series is over, but what the hey).

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL SERIES FINALE OF THE BATTLESTAR GALACTICA REMAKE. It's just the finale I'd like to see (as of this writing I haven't seen either of the finale episodes). As the final episodes aired, I found myself kind of disappointed with the convoluted plot and taxing expectations of the series. I found myself wondering about the odds I'd actually like the finale. Then I decided to jam out my own finale. It picks up right where the real finale begins, two episodes before the end of the series.

PLEASE REMEMBER: Both of these scripts are first drafts. They contain mistakes of both a grammatical and technical nature because when you're jamming out a script, the best way to do it is Bushido--samurai-style--straight through, stopping for as little as possible. So, newsflash, I'm not Mozart. I want to hear what you think, but don't expect a polished script.

And thank you so much for reading! We writers get immense energy and focus knowing that our work is being read (even if it isn't being liked). So, thanks so much for downloading and reading. I do hope you enjoy it. Whether it'll be better than Ron Moore's version or not will be interesting to see, but not my main concern. I just want the series to end the way I want it to end. I still think Ron Moore is one of the best TV writers who ever lived.
