Fight Quote by Bear McCreary
“One of the great things about working on 'Battlestar' is, while we don't use orchestra all the time, when we do, I don't need to put up a fight for it. The episodes that require an orchestral presence are self-evident, and everybody at Sci Fi and the producers know it's money well-spent.”
