Although things are gradually better, many still see science fiction as a type mainly. For this reason, the science pioneers are especially sensitive to spreading anything that might lead to the deportation of viewers. A great example of this is the “farm” BATLESTAR GALACTICA The episode forced by women to become “children’s machines” made the production team anxious that they would lose their female fans.
To understand the reason why the producers are concerned about the “farm” a lot, you may need a quick summary about what this episode was. While the B conspiracy included the leader Adama and President Roslin competing for the leadership, the plot A included the Starbuck that has the resistance on Caprica before its Cylons was arrested. She wakes up on a pottery farmer, which she discovers is specialized prisons in which women use women to try to create hybrid children from the human/machine.
In its own way, the “farm” is one of the crawling BATLESTAR GALACTICA The episodes are because they show the depths of corruption that can be fully able to do so and that there is a really worse fate than death for the surviving members of humanity. In addition, Cylon Simon starts the extent that women carrying children are a “valuable commodity”, which is frequented by some of the most famous realistic discussions about the role that women should play in the face of declining population. For all of these reasons and more, the production team in the episode is concerned that this particular story will push viewers.
This drilling about the “farm” comes to us as a matter of courtesy BATLESTAR GALACTICA Ronald D. Moore suspension for the episode. He revealed that some of his production team believed that the story of the episode was so dark that it would lead women away from the show. These concerns affected production, and Moore revealed that the second season episode “Valley of Darkness” had a controversial operation.
Regardless of the general plot points of the “farm”, BATLESTAR GALACTICA Producers were also concerned about specific stories, including the heavy suggestion that Simon gave Starbucks a tank examination. Certainly, it fits with the bleak story in which Starbook is destroyed by gonorrhea machines and women, which effectively shows that they prefer to be “children’s machines”. Producers were forced to move forward in this episode, but they were understandablely worried that all of this could push many viewers away from this new show when it needs the largest possible number of people.
“Farm” is a great episode of BATLESTAR GALACTICABut we can only believe that this story about its turbulent production is exactly wonderful like anything we have seen on the screen. After all, the producers were right to anxiety … It is an episode that draws human women as special goals for violence, all at a time when it does not draw attention to the types of sexual assaults that are subject to every day. It is a miracle that the episode made is the broadcast, but the fact that Ronald Moore and the rest seizes such an opportunity is just one other reason that is the most ambitious science fiction offered ever.
