Book review - "So Say We All: The Oral History of Battlestar Galactica"

 Exhaustive. Thorough. Epic. Maybe interviews actors too much.

For me the story of the 1978-79 series was the most interesting because it told the story of a flawed execution - so many "if onlys" and "could a beens". They don't talk about the Terra fascist arc but plenty of great goss: Richard Hatch pushing for more, the evocative depiction of Lorne Greene, Richard Colla was sacked during shooting the pilot, the challenges of Glen A. Larson. Galactica 1980 was a mess - the Richard Moore reboot was fantastic.

Terrific book for fans.
