I think all the skinny women beating up men pretty much showed the PC agenda of the thing.   I can't believe men watch the show... but then... I could never figure out why men watch soap operas either.   I guess they are there to watch attractive people and maybe get a glimpse or two of naked T & A once in a great while.

I loved the Mini-series.

The 1st season was compelling.

The 2d... started to lose me.

I haven't seen the 3d season yet, I'm waiting for the DVD release.

No it wasn't.  Probably the coolest scene in all tv history happened in third season of BSG.  The unique viper launch.

Seconded.  I've rewatched that scene a bunch of times, even did a frame by frame analysis and photogrammetry to figure out the speed of the you know what.  

Wifey and I were both standing up and yelling at the TV as the scene ended, it was...  well done.

But Lazs is too busy touching up his tattoos with Sharpies and carefully coordinating the amount of dirt on his Charger to cultivate a careful air of "rough, don't care 'bout no nothing" tough guy savoir faire.  :D

The new BSG is a let down for me too.  For someone who watched the original series it is hard to compare.  

Granted the new series is good but they should not have called it Battlestar Galactia if they were not going to keep the characters in tune to what they were.

I really love the new BSG
That being said I cant understand why the sci-fi chnl splits the seasons up like they do. makes no frakkin sense! And they way they release the DVD's is totally frakkin sensless as well.
ya get season 1..all of it but for season 2 ya buy it and then ya gotta go back and get 2.5...WTF!!!???:furious :furious
Im dreading how season 3 will come out on DVD.

And just a FYI its not so much the sci-fi chnls execs its their parent company....< drumroll please> NB(we smoke crack in the boardroom)C !!

It all really pisses me off. I'll still watch the show but it still pisses me off.
think ill write yet another strongly worded letter to the genetic defectives in charge of scheduling voicing my strong displeasure with their apparent lack of consideration for the peons that make their high salaries and big bonuses possible.

You really have that much stock in the original Swager?  It was a poor mans Star Wars at the time. Now so much now.


Just my opinion:D

I agree. I was primed for a good TV Star Wars, was big into Sci Fi and Science Fiction at the time, read the concept previews in a sci fi mag and it was nothing like the concept. Frackin' disco in space. Just another Bionic Man/Woman, Buck Rodgers in the 25th century late 70s TV production -- without Erin Gray  I might add.

For the BSG scene linked above, I did a little bit of photogrammetric measurement to calculate the speed, if anyone is interested:

The vertical viper launch episode was the only one not a complete yawn-er for the last to seasons (if you can call the late-term-abortion-like sequence they called a third season).  The writers have managed to turn me against every charactor in the series (not a one that I care if they live or die at this point), and the story line is a complete and unbelieveable mess.  It's simply too soap-opera-ish, too moody, too dark, and to drawn out.  And yes, I never did like that they made Starbuck a woman, so there.:furious

At this point, I don't really care when the season starts, or ends; if I see it at all, it'll be to rent it or download it when it comes out on DVD.
