*Spoilers* Battlestar Galactica Finale...?

To help you understand the "alternative reality", of television, please consider that, on "The X-Files", a young brunette was featured, multiple times, as Fox Mulder's younger sister, Samantha. Sometimes, she was exposed, as a "clone", while other episodes left viewers wondering. The actress, herself, stated that she received bags of fan mail, asking it the "real" Samantha Fox would, ever be shown. Far too often, networks start out with one television script, and end with another. Take, for Example, Star Trek: The Next Generation. In an original script, Patrick Stewart says that the script called for both Captain Picard, a-n-d Let. Commander Data to be Borgerized. Stewart was never certain of why the change happened. My suggestion, to you: Just enjoy the show, and dont worry about in-consistencies. All shows have them. Even my pewrsonal, current, favorite: Fringe. I hope this helps.
