Toast Battlestar Galactica
Bear McCreary is the composer of the epic musical score for Battlestar Galactica. In his own blog he explained as only Bear can what went into the making of the Season 4.5 episode "Someone to Watch Over Me" and this clip gives you a feel for what he said.

Seriously funny, not-to-be-missed tongue-in-cheek farewell to Galactica

On "Battlestar Galactica," Cylon couple Saul and Ellen Tigh manage their troubles, which range from garden-variety marital discord to discovering they’re really members of a robotic race, by hitting the bottle.
Often.
So with the acclaimed Sci Fi Channel drama coming to an end Friday, the Canadian actors who portray the Tighs, Michael Hogan and Kate Vernon, took coping cues from their small-screen alter egos.
Over cigarettes and pale ale Monday night at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, Hogan said the pair was –- to use the show’s favorite curse word –- pretty "frakked up" about it. "I don't know if I'll ever be able to growl 'gods damnit' ever again," he said.
Vernon sipped Chardonnay and recalled how surreal it was playing Ellen, who was "ripped" during her entire first episode. "It was drunkalogue after drunkalogue after drunkalogue," she said.
"There seems to be this hidden supply of booze and cigarettes aboard Battlestar Galactica. We're totally out of food, we're on the run, but still we have booze," joked Hogan. "When Ellen came back, it was like, thank God, we know we're going to have more booze."

From TVGuide: Who at TVGuide.com attended the Battlestar Galactica press screening on Monday night? And what's the frakkin' word? — Danny
..."we sent TVGuide.com Nerd High
Priestess Erin Fox. Once Doc Cottle revived her with smelling salts,
she said this: "The first hour-and-a-half of the finale is so intense,
you'll find it difficult to breathe. So many questions will be answered
— including some you probably thought wouldn't be addressed due to time
constraints. Also, if Mary McDonnell
isn't recognized by the Emmys this year, it'll be a frakkin' shame. She
had the crowd in tears more than once with her brilliant performance."
Erin then hugged her Cylon toaster to her chest, placed a paper bag
over her mouth and nose and breathed gently until it was safe to stand
again."
Vernon was recently revealed to be the mother of all Cylons — "I'm the OctoCylon!" she said — and admitted difficulty letting go of the show. She's been hosting viewing parties for the final batch of episodes in her Sherman Oaks home for the show's Los Angeles-based cast and crew.
"Everybody on the show was a fan," she said."I love watching with the episodes with Michael. We hold hands and go, 'Awwww.'"
When the actress learned Sci Fi Channel would be changing its name to SyFy in hopes of appealing to a less geeky demographic, she scoffed. "It never even occurred to me that we were shooting a science-fiction show," she said. "Never. It's always been just good drama."
Ron Moore's wife Terry, aka "MrsRon," posted this message from Ron today on the SciFi.com official BSG forum (HT BSG Contentquake):
I don’t want this day to happen.
I want it to be rescheduled, rethought, removed and recalled.
Tomorrow
the story will be over, my tale having been told, and never again will
there be the sweet anticipation of waiting for the next episode to be
shown to fans and friends. The thought of it makes my heart ache even
as swells with pride.
All I know is that today there is a show called Battlestar Galactica and tomorrow there was.
There
will be joy in that too, I’m sure, touching the thread of memory and
feeling it resonate all the way back to soundstages, locations, cutting
rooms, writers’ rooms, and sound bays where I lived for all these years
and being comforted by the knowledge that a part of me will never truly
leave those places. There will be reunions and retrospectives, special
editions and extended cuts, interviews and seminars. Solace can be
found.
We’d called the last season Senior Year and here, today,
as I prepare to present the final episode to an audience of friends,
colleagues, and family, I find myself feeling the same way I did on
Graduation day at Chowchilla Union High, all those years ago. The
mosaic of faces I’d grown accustomed to seeing day after day would
regroup for one last event, one last celebration of our lives together
and what we’d done, and then it would be gone but for the transcendent
threads of memory waiting to resonant down through the years. I didn’t
want that day to happen either and fervently wished for it to be
rescheduled, rethought, removed and recalled.
Somehow I get the
feeling that today’s wish will not be granted either. So this day, like
that one, will wax and wane and all I can do is ride the wave and let
it carry me where it will.
Thank you, all of you for coming here
through the years. The shippers and the haters, and everyone in
between; you’ve watched and you’ve posted and you’ve been a touchstone
for my experience with the audience ever since that night back in 2003
when we first declared that the Cylons were created by Man and things
were going to be different. It’s been a genuine pleasure to surf your
thoughts, rants, questions, snarks, complaints, praise, and humor as
you watched our story play out and rest assured I will be here again
tomorrow poring through the posts, laughing, cursing, sometimes just
shrugging at what you take away from this crazy show.
It’s been an honor to be your storyteller.
