I just watched the BSG finale with Mom. Last few minutes, with Head!Six and Head!Baltar, in present-day Earth, talking about how all this has happened before and all this will happen again and complex systems and different results and God not liking to be called God.
And had a plot bunny (which I WILL NEVER WRITE, and am therefore donating free to a good home):
End of Watchmen, the apocalypse has been (we hope) averted by staging a mini-apocolypse. Dr. Manhattan decides to leave the planet and go off by himself to explore the universe, thinking maybe he'll create life somewhere along the way. What if he's the divine force/whatever you want to call it working in the BSG universe? Creation of life, watching everything fall to pieces, trying to help them grow beyond that so that maybe this time there won't be an apocalypse.
It works. But I am not writing it. Watchmen breaks my brain, and I'm not too fond of the way BSG ended. No matter how well it fits together, I'm not writing it.
