.....Since most fans think of Jane as a writer who leans towards the comedy side she admits she really didn't find it too challenging to write for a series slightly darker and sci-fi heavy. "Well, I got my start pitching ideas to Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was the show I wanted to write for more than anything in the world," she clarifies. "So I have always wanted to write sci-fi. To me, it's like the logical extension of anyone's desire to write fiction. 'You want to create a world? Great, then go ahead and create everything about it'. Neat! Writing something darker? I don't know. Strangely, I never think of BSG as dark. Sure, it opened with nuclear apocalypse and near-genocide. And my episode is certainly not the "Trouble with Tribbles" of BSG. Not at all. And yet, because the characters are so very real -- because they react with such a wonderfully real sense of irony and humor to the things that happen to them, because the show is built around a core of solid shining hope...".....
