Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.09.19 03:04:00 - [2] I could never quite get into that show. My new joy is SG-1. already picked up seasons 1,2, and 4 and I'll have 3 this thursday. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
Thanos Draicon	Posted - 2007.09.19 03:07:00 - [3] Originally by: Micheal Dietrich I could never quite get into that show. My new joy is SG-1. already picked up seasons 1,2, and 4 and I'll have 3 this thursday. How far into it did you get, out of curiosity? The first time I watched it i thought it was lame too actually, but I needed something to watch recently and I settled on it. After watching the mini-series and first two episodes I was hooked. Stargate SG1 is pretty good too though.
Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.09.19 03:14:00 - [4] I'm not sure where I was in the series. I know that some of the robots had infiltrated the humans. One even set off a nuke that destroyed one of the human ships. Then they changed presidency and found a planet they could colonize on which most of the population went onto the planet with the ships having less than a skeleton crew. Unfortunatly the robots found the planet and while the ships managed to escape with a limited crew the population on the planet was captured from what I saw. Thats as much as I remember since it's been a while since I last saw it. I did see a few other episodes but I dont remember them too clearly. Once I get what I want in SG-1 I'm gonna move to smallville and supernatural. I so can't wait for the 27th. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive

Tarquin Tarquinius Gallente Escorts of Eve	Posted - 2007.09.19 03:28:00 - [6] BSG is an awsome show. The last season was a bit slow though. Exodus Part 2 is the best episode IMO. ------ wait...what?

Caid Lemant	Posted - 2007.09.19 05:57:00 - [10] BSG has become extremely overrated in my opinion. The first and second seasons had some really good stuff going for them, but when they hit a filler episode... well 90% of the fillers are horribly done and Season 3 had way too much filler. A few of the characters became really faulty when it comes to their consistency - the President being one of them along with the Cylons as a whole. Season 3 started really well and ended on a very strong note, part of the reveal had ties to pretty much the entire series if you look back. I have high hopes for the final season just because they wont have time to ** around. -------- There is not enough love and goodness in the world for us to be permitted to give any of it away to imaginary things.** Friedrich Nietzsche

Hydraxian Gallente Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.09.19 07:40:00 - [14] BSG is the only series ive ever deemed worthy to actually buy all the DVDs, and although i admit it took abit of a downer in season 3 its still one of the greatest Sci-fi shows created, oh and if you liked Peguses and Admiral. Cain just wait for the November special
SoftRevolution	Posted - 2007.09.19 09:04:00 - [15] I'm jealous of you people starting it from scratch. The first two seasons especially are awesome. I thought the last season kind of dragged and the cliff hanger was like "What can we possibly do to up the ante now? Oh, I know..." but overall it's a great show.
Hydraxian Gallente Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.09.19 10:22:00 - [16] If you like BSG, i highly recomend you watch both Star Trek DS9 and Babylon 5, both influenced BSG, and both have fantastic contiuning storylines (just forgive the first season of both... they suck lol)
Ze4K DK Gallente Viper Squad Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.09.19 11:00:00 - [17] I have to agree with the op, BSG is made of pure win... One day i watched it for 9 hours straight... It was so sweet when i had a new episode of BSG, Prison Break and Heroes every week... Pure awesome... On that note Prison Break season 3 just started and the first episode isn't bad at all...
Kayna Eelai	Posted - 2007.09.19 11:21:00 - [18] i finished all 3 seasons of BS:G long ago... now waiting 2008 for TV premieres of: lost #4 battlestar galactica #4 heroes #2 jericho #2 once all that comes out, i won't have much time left for anything else apart eve anyways.
Buxaroo Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.09.19 13:39:00 - [19] When I first heard about BSG being remade I thought: Wow, taking a sub-par 70's TV show and remaking it, they must really be out of ideas. Then I recently watched the first 2 episodes (mini-series) and I liked it right away. Later on next month I plan on getting the dvd set. The show is really top notch and not corny at all like the 70's series. And I never got into the Stargate series until I started watching it streamed on winamp recently and it's pretty good.

Exodus Part 2 = very easily, the best episode out of any sci fi tv series, in the history of everything. Love it.

Mary Makepeace Caldari Neh'bu Kau Beh'Hude Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2007.09.19 14:28:00 - [23] with BSG my wife makes me watch it. there is a couple of aspects to it that i just don't like. the wobbling pseudo documentary camera style was amusing for the movie but after that it annoyed me. The scientist is megalomaniacal paraniod schizophrenic who betrays humanity (cos thats what scientists do). The apocryphal godliness of it all. The thick layers of soap opera that goes for character interaction makes me nauseous. The slipping of entire episodes in that have no mention of the main story arc. That being said, by the end of the third season i kinda forgave it all and am looking forward to season 4.

I saw an episode once but I didnt like it Comming from a huge B5 fan, BSG is better IMO... comming from a huge B5 fan B5 is better than BSG. the politics in BSG just isn't on the same scale. the apocryphal stuff in B5 is no where near as overwhelming and has less of a spiritual faith based aspect and more of a closed time loop and psionic aspect. Seasons 2 through 4 in B5 have no filler episodes, all of them are the ramp to the war between chaos and order and finish with the human civil war. BSG is a journey and a quest, but often has an episode where there is absolutely no content that refers to the main story arcs. i find the quest plot dead boring as it is simple horror movie stuff, people hget hothoused and turn on each other until bam, its over, the quest is done. that in BSG one of the main characters is a delusional megalomaniacal scientist with an illusionary sexy robot muse just gets my goat. there is only one scene so far in BSG that i actually respected the script, and that was Lee Odama's speech in the trial (i will say no more due to spoilers). none of the characters in BSG realy grab me either, whereas in B5, the story and interaction between G'Kar and Londo still brings a sense of both tragedy and comedy to my mind, mainly tragedy though, the pain they represent to each other is heartbreaking. but then i also can't stand and have an active loathing of stargate and many people love that. everyone likes different things. i absolutely can't wait for heroes.

Micia Minmatar N.A.S.A. Skunk-Works	Posted - 2007.09.22 11:29:00 - [36] I was pretty late to the BSG party. (Had the same pre-opinion of an earlier poster; concerns about being a re-make of a 70's series) This show is just amazing. Sure, there are a few weak episodes (Black Market, anyone?) and some arcs that didn't cut the mustard (compared to others)... but overall, this has been very exciting so far. I'm now all the way to the end of 2.5 (NetFlix doesn't have Season 3 yet), and I've just found out that the Sci-Fi Channel website has some "webisodes" to view that take place between 2.5 & Season 3. (Haven't watched them yet... though that's the project for this weekend) My fave episode is "The Captain's Hand"... at least, I think that was the name. I'm rambling... but goddam, I love this show. _______ Originally by: WarKain Vitest Oh and there is currently a titan tring to kill me in M-OEE8. Help

Haizum The New Eve Order	Posted - 2007.09.23 16:00:00 - [43] I'm a Stargate, B5, ST:DS9 and BSG fan. This re-imagined series seems to be tipping the scales at the moment, but they're all different in their own way, not worth comparing! BSG is, instead of a disaster movie, a disaster series, and they really get deep into RL politics in some of their episodes. B5, much more in the way of cosmic good and evil, explicitly so, but great comedy in it. I'm just literally about to watch the last episode of season 3, I took a break from watching the last DVD and found this thread by surprise! Exodus pt 2 was immense. Love this series, can't wait for the next. --------------- If you are ferocious in battle, remember to be magnanimous in victory. - Lt. Col. Tim Collins

Red Crown Kudzu Collective	Posted - 2007.09.23 18:00:00 - [45] Originally by: CCP Atropos BSG is awesome. I'm just waiting for the Season 3 soundtrack to be released. I saw it wouldn't be coming out til October 23rd and I was like "damn". I can't wait. Anyway, BSG needs to be appreciated at a higher level than "OMFG THEY JUST TOTALLY NUKED/SHOT/BLEW UP THAT BASESTAR" if you want to get everything out of it. Though the series has the best space battles evar, the real story is about the characters. IMO, "Scar" has been the best episode of the series so far, Although Exodus pt. 2 was really good.

Indeed, Exodus part 2 has been one of my favorites, but then again I'm a sucker for epic battles.

Kayna Eelai	Posted - 2007.09.25 12:52:00 - [48] it is CONFIRMED that BSG#4 will be the last one. this is a good thing. when they did 1-3 they didn't really know when it would end, thus they "strayed" a lot with the script. basicly they were not too focused. producers allready said in interviews that they are happy they decided that it's the last season, because every single episode will have to be top cuality, as they won't have chance to extend it. on a personal note tho, i believe that if #4 is such good cuality than they claim... they will have a ****load of millions of new fans... ergo: money: ergo they will have to continue. however, it seems that there is a spinoff planned, called CAPRICA which is a miniseries of some kind just about the cylon occupied caprica. BSG#4 starts feb 2008 i think. no idea about movie or miniseries release dates. but i encourage u to use google to get info, and common sense to find out which info is just fake and crap and which is not.

I think it may be my new Babylon 5. Huh? Are you watching the re-runs - or where are you watching it. I just hope a particular character stays dead. The series does a lot of times fall on its face because they never do explain the history or the motives of the cylons for this series. To be honest, season three still has too many loose ends that one last season will not be able to tie up, let alone create an ending. So, I am not expecting much out of the last season, except giant plot skips that are already apparent through the first three seasons. The plot skips are tolerable, if the series would have lasted 6-8 seasons. But it just looks like the last season will have to rush through a timeline or just ignore existing story arcs.

Yes, that is good for story arcs but after three seasons we know what the humans are looking for and why, but have no idea why the cylons are looking for Earth and what they think is actually there. I thought BSG was great because they did have so many things to create stories with, but they are not going to finish them in one season.

I believe that the Cylons are looking for Earth as they wish to colonise it. Basically, the Cylons are pretty confused about their nature. First they saw themselves as the children onf mankind, then they tried to love with humans as their saviours. After all that got screwed up they decided to colonise Earth in desperation. Originally by: Agent 13 BSG is good, Firefly is better IMO Bleh. Firefly is basically just a watered down sci fi for casual sci fi people. It's jsut a film about the wild west set in space. Not that's not perversely entertaining. It's way beneath BSG.

Not that's not perversely entertaining. It's way beneath BSG. And BSG is nothing more than watered down modern politics with some flaky derivative theology which has yet to say anything worthwhile. Not to mention having some of the flakiest character arcs seen in a non-daytime time slot. The Cylons are nothing more than a joke and nearly every character has been pushed passed the 'flawed' mark into the realm of complete inconsistency. There are maybe four characters who still have some breathe of integrity in their arcs and two of them have turned out to be Cylons. BSG should have stuck to the central storyline instead of weakening its credibility with countless branches that went no where, except bruising the aspects of the show that are actually intriguing. Putting any show 'way beneath BSG' is not something anyone should be doing. Especially one that BSG borrowed from without a thought. -------- There is not enough love and goodness in the world for us to be permitted to give any of it away to imaginary things.

The Cylons are nothing more than a joke and nearly every character has been pushed passed the 'flawed' mark into the realm of complete inconsistency. There are maybe four characters who still have some breathe of integrity in their arcs and two of them have turned out to be Cylons.

Wardog 1 Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.09.27 20:48:00 - [58] Originally by: Kayna Eelai it is CONFIRMED that BSG#4 will be the last one. this is a good thing. when they did 1-3 they didn't really know when it would end, thus they "strayed" a lot with the script. basicly they were not too focused. producers allready said in interviews that they are happy they decided that it's the last season, because every single episode will have to be top cuality, as they won't have chance to extend it. on a personal note tho, i believe that if #4 is such good cuality than they claim... they will have a ****load of millions of new fans... ergo: money: ergo they will have to continue. however, it seems that there is a spinoff planned, called CAPRICA which is a miniseries of some kind just about the cylon occupied caprica. BSG#4 starts feb 2008 i think. no idea about movie or miniseries release dates. but i encourage u to use google to get info, and common sense to find out which info is just fake and crap and which is not. It's quite possibly old info now but if you're interested: "According to Moore, Caprica will take place 50 years before BSG and will be about the creation of the Cylons. The show will center around two families: one who owns the Microsoft-esque coporation that develops the Cyclon technology, and the family of Adama's father, a lawyer who starts to oppose the Cylons' creation."

Keorythe Caldari Terra Rosa Militia Sev3rance	Posted - 2007.09.28 06:31:00 - [60] Grew up on the old BSG. Was disappointed at first especially about the change of Starbuck who honestly tries too hard to act tough. Too much Top Gun and not enough sci-fi (use humans instead of robots to cut down on film costs, smart) The stories and filmography were pretty good so I kept watching and waiting for the battlescenes (bullets? WHERE THE HECK ARE MY FRIGGIN LASERS?!). Then Baultar screwed Starbuck. Not as in betrayal but as in Mr. B is humping the chick. Stopped watching after that. EvE is my where my TV time goes.

But - the movies and each season has its own soundtracks. I think the one you are looking is used through all the seasons and is the "Prologue" from Season 1. 1st 4 items are the soundtracks Linkage

You fail at critsism and analysis. Watch the rest of the series - Starbuck develops into a very dynamic character. If you think that its more Top-Gun than Sci Fi, you're wrong, its just more realistic to appeal to a more mature audience. Old BSG, while nostalgic, was a Star Wars spinoff. If you watch more of the series you realize that these people have no problems with funding. The effects always deliver. The human-form Cylons are to add a new dynamic so that its no just us vs. evil aliens. Battlescenes? I vote that massive guns > lasers. For you, watch - 1. 33 2. The Hand of God 3. Fragged 4. Pegasus 5. Ressurection Ship 1 and 2 (Absolutely amazing sequences) 6. The Captain's Hand 7. Exodus Part 2 8. Torn/A Measure of Salvation These are the episodes with the biggest space battles, IIRC.

If you think that its more Top-Gun than Sci Fi, you're wrong, its just more realistic to appeal to a more mature audience. Old BSG, while nostalgic, was a Star Wars spinoff. Actually you fail at critisizing critisism. I did watch alot of it especially the battlescenes and Starbuck is about as dynamic as warm diet coke. Damaged woman with serious issues? Can anyone give me a list of how many times this personality type shows up in dramas these days? Heck, there aren't that many dramas that have normal empowered women who AREN'T damaged goods. There is being serious and tough and then there's being phoney, trying to hard, and crazy issues. They aren't the same thing. That isn't a realistic appeal either. Thats morbid fascination watching a person self destruct. A weird thing that western society seems to be embracing waaaay too much these days (the "my life sucks but damn its I'm better off than them" socialism). How many people are self destructing in the show now? Last I saw it was 4. At least Adama was well written out (geez I love the new version). Originally by: Red Crown For you, watch - 1. 33 2. The Hand of God 3. Fragged 4. Pegasus 5. Ressurection Ship 1 and 2 (Absolutely amazing sequences) 6. The Captain's Hand Seen all of these. I'm not bashing the action sequences at all, they're great. Then again, technology makes this look good to us now just like the old version technology was incredible back then. But battlescenes are like sound bytes. They dont make the entire show. 7. Exodus Part 2 8. Torn/A Measure of Salvation Face it, there isn't that much real sci-fi out there nor was there in the past. We get stuck with cheap fantasy stuff like Eragon being mass produced. So when some good sci-fi actually comes out and has no real competition we fawn like crazy. I'm suceptible too. Hey I watched "Space Above and Beyond" because...because well it was sci-fi darnit! You think Star Trek TNG had a huge following because it was really that good? DS9 sure but TNG?!

Ruciza	Posted - 2007.10.03 02:58:00 - [69] The last episode in season three has the most jaw dropping cliffhanger I have ever seen.

The Captain's Hand 7. Exodus Part 2 8. Torn/A Measure of Salvation u forgot SCAR, tho it's not massive but 1v1 2v1 and 2v2 ;) favourite ofc is exodus, only two adama could pull that things off (deploying fighters in atmosphere and the last part of pegasus which i don't want to spoil too much) but i am a big baltar fan... he's ******* insane. i love the acting. HOWEVER i would have prefered Henry Ian Cusick for that role. i absolutely love his accent ;)
Kayna Eelai	Posted - 2007.10.03 10:59:00 - [71] Originally by: SoftRevolution Realistic weapons > Crap sci-fi weapons. true that. and comming back to the critics on using human cylons to safe production money... well, there must be something true in that, i got really tired of the same copy&paste everytime the fighters entered the hangars ;)
