guitarmark -> "Battlestar Galactica" (9/3/2007 5:23:34 PM)

Anybody here watch this?

I'm not a TV watcher (don't even have cable), but I buy the DVD sets and absolutely love this series! I'm going bonkers waiting for the season 3 DVD set release in October [sm=rollingeyes.gif]

Still can't believe Tigh is a cylon!!! [sm=eek.gif]



stateofgrace -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (9/3/2007 6:37:31 PM)

I think it's a generally well-done how. I don't know that I'd say I "love" it but I'm interested enough to continue watching. And I was a hard sell because I thought the old version was really cheesy.

The original was on when I was 10, so I thought it was pretty high-tech! LOL...



LiChiu -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (9/5/2007 9:43:59 PM)

I love this show! But then I love anything sci-fi however this is one of the best made sci-fi shows I have seen.

Tigh is a cylon?! (I haven't been keeping up on the series). What other things do I need to know?[:D] I agree that battlestar galactica has to be one of the best sci-fi dramas on tv....not just sci-fi, one of the best shows on tv period.



Twich -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (9/13/2007 9:11:46 AM)

They say that this season we're going to lose a cylon model - and there is still that undiscovered one model...

Hey - did I say I like BSG too?! :)



Marcus. -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/3/2008 2:18:51 PM)

Everyone ready for the final season?



rnershigh -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/3/2008 3:47:07 PM)

I'm looking forward to it. I have the first season on DVD and half of the second. I stopped watching after that, but I saw previews for the coming season and I'm really interested again. Where did Starbuck go? In one of the previews, she mentioned she found Earth and she had been gone for a while. I was also blown away by the fact Tigh is a cylon! I think there is still one cylon model that hasn't been revealed yet and will be this season.



dance4joy -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/3/2008 3:59:39 PM)

*squeal* I can't wait until tomorrow night!!! We don't get the Sci Fi channel, so my honey and I are gonna go hang out at the local Pizza King. They have t.v.'s in the booths. (you have to feed them quarters every 10 minutes or so, but we're gonna come prepared) [;)]



henny -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/3/2008 11:53:30 PM)

I can't wait either. This is the best show on TV.

Scifi.com is putting the season 4 premiere up early tomorrow on their website at 12 noon eastern.

I won't be able to watch it as I'll be at work, but I'm hoping it'll be still up when I get home so I don't have to download it.



Marcus. -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/3/2008 11:55:28 PM)

For those that haven't seen season three, esp the finale.
SPOILER ALERT











































At the end of the episode, Apollo is trying to get Starbuck to turn away from a "storm". She doesn't. She says she isn't scared anymore. Then her Viper explodes.



Marcus. -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/4/2008 12:30:26 AM)

You guys ever wonder if the folks who are cylons were maybe real people taken captive and their form and even memories copied? Since the human-looking cylons are only 10 year or less old, to make more they have had to capture, copy, and kill the real person. I don't see how they could have had Col Tigh any other wawy because he was a real person in the past. I just remember something about the human cylons from earlier episodes or maybe the miniseries saying they were a recent invention.



henny -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/4/2008 8:40:20 AM)

The Tigh thing threw me too.

I had always assumed that Admiral Adama knew Tigh all the way back to the first Cylon wars, but I looked it up and I guess he didn't meet him until much later.

You never know what they might spring on us, but I don't think the Cylons are copies of real people that were replaced with Cylons. I think they were created only in the past 10 or 20 years (in show time). But the Razor miniseries did raise some questions about this.

It is interesting that they made the Engineer guy a Cylon (can't recall his name), just because he also had a kid with a human, so it kind of renders all the fuss over Boomer's baby kind of moot, doesn't it?



dance4joy -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/4/2008 8:47:32 AM)

Engineer guy? Do you mean the Chief? The one who married Callie? Yeah, I kinda wondered about that too.



Marcus. -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/4/2008 11:00:21 AM)

I missed Razor. Looks like I'll have to rent it now.



stateofgrace -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/4/2008 2:35:27 PM)

With SF&F it's either feast or famine on TV.

I'm glad our DVR has two tuners, because not only are Doctor Who and BSG coming back this month, but so is Moonlight...all on Fridays.



rnershigh -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/4/2008 11:04:05 PM)

Okay, just watched BSG tonight and it raises more questions than answers.LOL. I want to know about that time discrepancy that Starbuck experienced. She thought only a few hours elapsed, while everyone in the fleet thought she was dead and gone for 2 months! Apollo saw her ship explode and then when she comes back, it's in a brand new viper. So question is, where'd she get the new viper from? Why does it have no flight data in the computers? Then I want to know about Baltar and what's going on there with him being some leader of a new cult. I'm also very curious about the 5th cylon and who it could be.

From watching the preview for next week's episode, looks like dissension in the cylon ranks! Becoming real interesting....



tafkam -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/5/2008 2:14:40 PM)

BSG is unusual, a remake that actually improves dramtically upon it's source material (I liked the original and wish that ABC had given it more time to find it's way back in the 70s).

If it has one weakness, it's that it sometimes tries a little too hard to be "edgy", but overall, it's a rock solid sci-fi/drama....but definitely not for the kids.

I must admit though, I'd have loved to have seen BSG brought back with the original cast (much the way the first six STAR TREK movies did). Of course Lorne Greene has passed on, but such a revival could have been great.

My biggest disappointment with the new show was the redesign of the GALACTICA herself. The original battlestar design was one of the coolest sci-fi ships ever seen....why couldn't they have just reproduced it (like they did the other ships in the fleet)? I happen to know that the owner of the original filming miniature offered to let the filmmakers borrow the model to sample for CGI purposes....



rnershigh -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/5/2008 3:11:55 PM)

Since the original BSG is before my time, and when I *did* happen to catch episodes of the original on sci-fi a while back, I'm glad someone decided to remake it. It was so corny and cheesy, and the music of the show and the costumes of the show, oh man painful to see.LOL.[:D] It's like comparing night and day when you compare the original BSG series and the remake BSG.

They have paid homage to the original BSG in some areas so don't be too disappointed they didn't keep the ship design similar.[:)] I remember the first episode, they had the music from the old show playing when the galatica was being decommissioned and then that one actor that played in the original getting a part in the series for a bit, and then the usage of "frak" was kept. But of course, it being a remake not everything will be the same. I'm sad it's the final season, but since the series began I've been wanting the answer about Earth and them finding it resolved!



Marcus. -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/5/2008 3:23:14 PM)

I didn't notice changes to the exterior of the ship. However, I did notice the CiC was very different. Plus the ship overall is darker and more realistic. Dirty, greasy, supplies in the passageways.

The original Starbuck was my favorite character. For all the womanizing concept behind him, he only seemed to be with one woman most of the time. The reimaged one. [:@] [:'(] I was actually happy when I thought they removed her from the series. She is too much of an emotional train wreck. I like Baltar better than Starbuck. My favs in this reimaged version are the Col Tigh and Chief Tyrol.

The story lines have been aimed at an adult audience more rather than the HS set. Great story lines and relationships to watch.



rnershigh -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/5/2008 5:08:17 PM)

I agree the new Starbuck can get annoying, she has a temper on her sheesh. And last night's episode she seems off her rocker and not all there (every time the ship jumped she seemed to get more unstable) even more than usual. It does fit in with the character though, of the "new" Starbuck.

I don't know why, but I like Baltar too. I love watching his interactions with the number six cylon of his mind. I really want to know what part he plays, as it's obvious something is going on there.

LOL!!! You make me feel soo old!! [:D] Actually, BSG was edgy back then. It put women into roles that were unthinkable and even dealt with racial issues. My step-sister and I were hooked on it. I loved Starbuck (who was a guy.), she liked apollo. I got away from the new BSG and kinda wished I had kept up with it. [&o] I'll have to rent it now.

I'm sorry Kim![:D] Well, it still didn't age very well.haha. I can't wait for this week's episode.

I agree. I look back on the original Star Trek, TNG, Doctor Who from the 3rd and 4th Doctor eras, Lost In Space, The Prisoner, The Wild Wild West, Quantum Leap, and The Avengers, and even though they show their age, I can get past the cheese (if there is any). BSG (original) I thought was cheesy AT THE TIME it first aired!



DaveW -> RE: "Battlestar Galactica" (4/7/2008 7:03:54 AM)

BSG (the original) was Lorne Green's evangelical efforts for the mormon church. The story line was actually lifted right from the pages of the book of mormon. Yeah, it was cheezy by today's standards but as has been noted, so was everything else.

I like the new one because it departs from that strict lds line in many points.

I got the DVD of Razor and taped friday's episode. Hopefully sometime this week I can sit down and watch them.
