For those who have been expend the first one-half of Battlestar Galactica ’s final season anticipate to see deceased presidential aide Billy Keikeya again – perhaps in a shock revealing as the show ’s final cylon – then we ’ve got some upright word and tough news for you . The expert news show is , the writers want to bring Billy back as well . The bad word , it ’s not going to happen .
Speaking during one of the latest podcast comment , executive manufacturer Ron Moore explained ,
I think we [ the writers ] were all kind of intrigued about bringing the Billy theatrical role back , he was one of our favourite and long dead and it would be kind of cool to see him again in the last time of year … But there was some scheduling conflict with the actor Paul Campbell , and he was n’t available .

Okay , we ’ll admit it – This does n’t intend that we have no chance of hear Billy again ; Moore has been love to mislead fans on his podcast commentaries , after all ( * coughStarbuck’sdeathcough * ) . But if he really wanted to keep any potential Billy reappearance a surprise , it ’s improbable that he ’d start bringing up the national at all .
If you ’re wonder why he brought up the subject , it ’s because the role that equally dead character Elosha act as as Roslyn ’s hallucinatory spiritual adviser in “ The Hub ” episode was originally going to be filled by a ghost Billy . When Campbell ’s lack of availability changed that plan , author Jane Espenson detailed the amount of oeuvre that make to fix the script :
In a hallmark of what I consider really fine written material , I just did a ball-shaped hunt and replace on the name . I did not change the line . The only matter I did … I added ‘ Cue the celestial Sarracenia flava . ’ That one musical phrase that Elosha has was all I did to change it .

As Moore says in response , “ There you go . That ’s how finely detailed this hooey is . ”
