In the same vein as the previously wonderful Game of Thrones RPG parody video, CollegeHumor has posted a mock-up of what a SNES RPG based on the recent Battlestar Galactica series would have looked like.
And just like with GoT, they nail it. Especially the effects budget stuff.
If you haven’t seen the show, and someday intend to, know that there’s a spoiler or two to be found, so you’ve been warned.
Oh, one more thing. The video gave me a black screen and “video not found” error on Firefox but worked in Chrome, so if you have any hassles, switch browsers.

Effects budget depleted! Switching to “debates in spaceships” mode.
So true.

Nevertheless, the parody was there to be made. But I’m not averse to writers adopting a write-as-you go strategy, or changing their minds, if it serves the show; it’s the overall story that matters.
As Ron Moore himself stated, “It’s about the characters, stupid!” :)

God the ending of that show sucked, but damn were the first few seasons fantastic.
