One thing that I noticed in episode 12 was that it showed ammunition that the Cylon Raider fired. So no laser cannons but projectiles!

And I could be mistaken, but the security forces onboard Galactica carry standard issue FN P90s.

I wonder what kind of budget they have...

I didn't mean it as a bad thing, just a curiosity.

watching epp 12 tonite....but if you look at the ammo they picked up at ragnard anchorage and the stuff they shoot in defense it all looks like projectiles to me.....hell they're using nukes too.

I will definatly buy this on DVD. Legal or not I think downloading would increase sales if it was marketed correctly.

Unfortunately I don't, so i have to download it. However there is one thing I'm uncertain of; if it is legal to tape tv shows how can it be illegal to record it on your PC? This is not a CD or DVD that someone copy, this is a tv show that is aired.

I do however have concerns about the viability of commercially funded tv shows like BSG if most people just download it.

Sholzy there was actually a really cool article/interview in the thread u posted about piratebay RE: bit torrent and its future impact on media giants, and the downfall there of. They interviewed the creator of bit torrent, he's a real interesting guy.

gotta run watching epp 12 now.

yep, there was a "pet store", not saying which, that had online service. couple of customers were posting their experiences dealing with the company. anyhow long story short about 25-50 of the posters got sued, costing into several thousand dollars each to settle out of court.

IIRC was posted in one of the rec.aquaria.????? newsgroups.

that's such BS. They could have faught it and won but the problem is that I would have cost them just as much to settle as it would to fight it.

Knowing me and my pig headedness I would have shown up in court ALONE without a lawyer and claimed freedom of speech rights or something like that.

What happens in a court case if somone sues you and wins 50 grand or something and you are a poor pauper like me? I'm curious if anyone actually gone to court with the RIAA. It would be hard to prove that the defendent was actually AT the computer and actually downloaded something.

Death to the LAWYERS (except for dune...he's cool)

BTW beautiful opening scene in Ep.12, special kudos to the music.

And then the Raptors jumping right into the flight path of the cylon patrol... oh man, I hope this series lasts.

Got all of them now... just waiting for #3 DL* to finish before I watch them (Only saw the pilot & episode 1 so far).

The ships seem to move properly and they are not sending their captain on "away teams" (thank cod for that...). Looks promissing indeed!

*-Not aired in Lululand... probably won't for another 5 years before it gets translated...

CyranoAH · « **Reply #71 on:** January 19, 2005, 03:33:25 AM »

My thoughts exactly Saintaw, it's refreshing to see a more "realistic" sci-fi series for once.

Just finished watching the last episode of the first series. WOW! Loads of spoilers if anyone interested!!!

Chairboy · « **Reply #73 on:** January 24, 2005, 03:11:50 PM »

I was surprised to find out that the whole series took place in the imagination of an autistic Cylon child, staring into a snowglobe.

I just finished ep 10 on a flight to LA last night, freakin great. I really like how certain characters have developed.

Replicant · « **Reply #74 on:** January 24, 2005, 03:14:54 PM »

Normally when series finish they say when the new series is out... but Sky One didn't even mention it!

If there is a new series then it will no doubt be aired Autumn (Fall!) 2005. BTW the last episode is # 13.

What happens to the President?
What happens to Starbuck?
What happens to Boomer?
What happens to Adama?

I've actually just ordered the entire original series (7 discs) since it was on offer for $45.

I've also found out that the new BSG Series 1 is available on DVD Region 2 on 28 March 2005 priced at £39.99 or $75
