=== はじめに === | === はじめに === | ||
この企画書によると"２つのことは明確"だと書かれている。イントロダクションはテレビの特別番組による"日曜の夜の争い"、[[w:Emmy Awards|エミー賞]]授賞式、ワールドシリーズ（[[w:baseball|野球]]）、様々な人気映画やスペシャル番組。企画書によると『ギャラクティカ』は８回も午後10時の時間帯に移動させられた。（それでも、その時間帯でも好成績だった）。<ref name="p4">Ibid., p. 4</ref> | |||
さらに"この前例のない攻撃にもかかわらず『ギャラクティカ』には欠かさず必ず番組を観てくれるコアな視聴者が付いている"。そして、"安定した長期的な視聴者"を獲得することの難しさについて述べている。<ref name="p4"/> | |||
ラ―ソンによると、ニールセンとテレビのシーズンのＴＶＱのシーズンごとの数字は"『ギャラクティカ』ファンで欠けているのはティーンの女の子と女性"であることを示している。さらに、彼はこの損失は"このエリアである程度成功すれば視聴者層にとって良い飛躍だ"。<ref name="p5">Ibid., p. 5</ref> | |||
ラ―ソンの仮定によると女性視聴者が欠けている原因は２つ："女性が求めるような感情的な要素"と""breakoutなキャラクターがいないこと"。彼はこれらの要素はキャストの多さに起因する。"テレビで最多のキャスト"は"視聴者が注目するキャラクターは３，４人だ"。<ref name="p5"/> | |||
これを修正するため"２つの戦略から生まれた戦闘プラン"を考えた：[[The Fleet (TOS)|船団]]とキャラクターの進むべき方向性である。 | |||
==== 船団 ==== | ==== 船団 ==== | ||
ラ―ソンはシリーズの最初の（そして唯一の）シーズンは"人々は他の道を選ぶより出来事によって動いている"。彼は"人間の行動と関係に端を発する方向に進ませるためには、どんな道標をギャラクティカのブリッジに置くべきか？" | |||
彼の出した答えは[[w:Issac Asimov|アイザック・アシモフ]] | 彼の出した答えは[[w:Issac Asimov|アイザック・アシモフ]]の参加である。彼は世界的に知られたＳＦ作家で著書の多くがロボットに関するものである。ラ―ソンはアシモフが"『ギャラクティカ』のクリエイティブ・コンサルタントを務めるというチャレンジを受け入れてくれたよ"。彼は"コンセプトを形作る手伝い"をしてくれるだけでなく、脚本の執筆とストーリーと脚本の評価もしてくれる。<ref>Ibid., p. 6</ref> | ||
==== キャラクター ==== | ==== キャラクター ==== | ||
ラ―ソンは初期に心配していたメイン・キャストが多いという問題点を追及する。この企画書では、次の様な変更を加えることにしている：女性キャラクターの追加、番組にユーモアを取り入れる、慎重にキャストを減らしていく。<ref name="p7">Ibid., p. 7</ref> | |||
キャストを減らすため、結果として以下のキャラクターが失われた： | |||

=== | === Retained Characters === | ||
The changes in the characters are fleshed out in depth on the character's respective articles. The summary of the characters retained in the unfilmed second season are: | |||
* [[Apollo (TOS)| | * [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] steps down as the leader of [[Blue Squadron (TOS)|Blue Squadron]] after [[Sheba]]'s death, absconds all responsibility to others, and becomes a carefree spirit, more like Starbuck<ref>''Ibid.'', 8</ref>, and has various dalliances with women (including the Cylon half-human, half-android robot, [[Renata]]). | ||
* [[Starbuck (TOS)| | * [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]], who assumes command of Blue Squadron and takes many of Apollo's original attributes, including duty to his work and the act of distancing himself from any serious relationships, particularly the one he begins developing with [[Cassiopeia]]. With Apollo, who he relies on for advice, the two develop a "[[w:Butch Cassidy|Butch Cassidy]] and [[w:Sundance Kid|Sundance Kid]]" relationship.<ref>''Ibid.'', 9</ref> He also develops a "sixth sense", which tells him of danger (like Sheba's death in "[[The Return of the Pegasus]]").<ref>''Ibid.'', 13</ref> | ||
* [[Adama (TOS)| | * [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] is disappointed in Apollo's decision to step back from the burden of command (even though he engaged in this thought himself<ref>''Ibid.'', 15</ref>), focusing more of his energies on his daughter, [[Athena (TOS)|Athena]], as well as [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]]. He is secretly pleased by the competitiveness between the two, but hopes that Apollo will still be is successor. In the meantime, the strength and abilities of Athena and Boomer give Adama more time to deal with the personal issues of the people in his Fleet.<ref name="p10">''Ibid.'', 10</ref> | ||
* [[Athena (TOS)| | * [[Athena (TOS)|Athena]] is severely wounded in the opening episode but her face is repaired via reconstructive surgery, which allows for the role to be recast. The rest of her body is scarred beyond repair and, because of this, she avoids any romantic relationships for fear of rejection and being viewed as a freak. She focuses her energies on her work, giving her an "aggressive, cutting edge that is ameliorated by our understanding of her vulnerability". Her zeal at her job proves her worthiness as a competent commander, relieving Adama of some of his responsibilities.<ref name="p10"/> | ||
* [[Cassiopeia | * [[Cassiopeia]] becomes the head [[Life Sciences]] practitioner aboard ''Galactica'' (replacing Doctor [[Salik]]), and given that Starbuck is "married" to his new command, she focuses her energies into her new role. All the while, she "discovers talents and depths within herself she never knew she possessed—and becomes the New Woman of Space."<ref name="p11">''Ibid.'', 11</ref> | ||
* [[Boomer (TOS)| | * [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] replaces Doctor [[Wilker]] as "a combination of Einstein-Edison talent emerges" from him, and becomes an "enormous asset to the ''Galactica''". His ever-growing knowledge of science, via experiments in his lab, make him less of a Warrior fighting in a Viper and more of "an indispensable assistant" to Adama and the Fleet.<ref name="p11"/> | ||
=== 新キャラクター === | === 新キャラクター === | ||
Additionally, a new character is developed to "solidify our position with young girls [...] that might have a special appeal" as a "heart throb". This character, Troy, is an eager, cute, mischievous, well-intending young man and is introduced as Adama's cabin boy. In this role, Troy learns of every crisis and makes manageable situations turn "into a hopeless morass". Due to this, he replaces Colonel [[Tigh (TOS)|Tigh]] to allow for "more confrontations and opportunities" between Adama and Apollo. Troy also serves as a "pain in the ass for Starbuck and Apollo".<ref>''Ibid.'', 12</ref> | |||

The following are stories that are part of the proposal: | |||
* | * "[[The Return of the Pegasus]]", a two-hour tale that reveals that Commander [[Cain (TOS)|Cain]] and ''[[Pegasus (TOS)|Pegasus]]'' survived the [[Battle of Gamoray]] and introduces many of the aforementioned changes to the show's format. Interestingly, this episode also introduces the concept of human-looking [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]], a concept visited (in android form) ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' and as more a organic form in the [[Re-imagined Series]]. | ||
* | * "[[A Woman's Power]]", a one-hour episode where the women from both the Fleet and ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' (lead by [[Athena (TOS)|Athena]]) plan to overthrow "male dominance" of the Fleet for they tire of war and their struggle to survive. | ||
* | * "[[Island in the Sky]]", a one-hour episode where Apollo and Starbuck crash on a "tiny barren plant with an incredibly strong gravitational pull", which turns out to be a paradise with ever-lasting youth... harboring a dark secret. | ||
* | * "[[The Bad and the Brave]]", an one-hour show that deals with a devastating battle that results in damage to the orphan ship, itself crashing on a planet. However, the base star has followed them there to make repairs; Starbuck and Athena are forced to make a decision, allow the Cylons to kill the children or the Fleet. | ||
* | * "[[A Plague in Space]]", a one-hour show where Cassiopeia is ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> Patient Zero, spreading a disease that once existed on [[Kobol (TOS)|Kobol]]. | ||
* | * "[[A Queen's Ransom]]", a one-hour show where Apollo and Starbuck investigate the planet [[Sirenus]] upon learning it has [[solenium]] crystals crucial to navigation. The society on Sirenus is female-dominated and their leader, [[Areola]], offers the crystals: the price being that Starbuck offers his "personal services" as one of Areola's concubines. | ||
