Just wondering if anyone else watches this show? I know it sounds like a ridiculously nerdy show but it really isn't. It won me over a long time ago so now I have to tell everyone that BSG is my favorite show haha.

Can't wait for the last 10 episodes. Also, did you know that the green light was given for the prequel spinoff, Caprica? Might be good...

Haha Flotsom, AmazinHunks isn't a gay club...it's a brotherhood! :noid Pillow fight at 4 o clock if you are interested.
As for Battlestar, I thought season 3 was relatively weak compared to the other seasons. I feel that Ronald D Moore and gang had only enough concrete plot for 9-10 episodes and had to fill the rest, and the filling wasn't that great. I think they could have extended the New Caprica setting out at least 2-3 more episodes before the rescue then cut out some very pointless episodes. In general I guess I didn't appreciate the effort in the actual storytelling in S3. S4.0 was a little better and ended amazingly hunky and I can't wait for the final 10 episodes.

actually during season 3 the powers that be demanded a rewrite of all the stories already compiled because they were afraid that the audience would lose interest. they demanded that the stories be cut down into single segment stories instead of having the continuous flow of one long story line like it had been for seasons 1 and 2. the complaints of the cast and creators of BSG and the complaints of the fans of the new way of telling the story is what allowed for the change over in the season 4 episodes. but this revamping of the revamped story is why it was not completely written prior to the writers strike and why only half of the episodes were ready for the season.
breaking it down to a single story happening in a single episode broke the flow of the original story line allowing it to become diluted and lost as a side project to the mixed up and nonconforming stories being told.
the benefits of buying the DVDs is the additional stuff like interviews and discussions that go with it.

i think it was the show that took space exploration scifi to newer levels of story telling and away from the we must save the world in every episode. it had the stink of the original star trec back without the over dramatic i must be a hero type of acting that was so predominant in the series.

I have S1 and S2/2.5 on DVD but I haven't bought S3, I guess I am displeased with S3 enough to not buy it. I didn't know that SciFi made them change the plot format. That's ridiculous.
Whether it be television, music, or anything creative, whenever somebody is asked or forced to compromise their artistic integrity, it's always with the intent of making more money and almost ALWAYS, the product suffers. In this day in age, it is more prevalent then ever before.

Just started season 3 last week, just finished epi. 4. I've loved this series since the first 2 hour movie. Hell, I enjoyed the original series as a kid.

Season 3 through episode 4 is epic. Get ready for the downward spiral! Haha
<edit> That might be a little rash, but the story arc takes a turn for the worse in most of season 3 after New Caprica.

in my own personal belief i think that the producers were looking at the success of the first two seasons and thinking they could push the story beyond the four years it was designed for. they were looking at the 6 7 or 8 years that they normally push a series for. they lost the fact that the greatest part of BSG was that you new from the beginning that it was gonna be short. that a viewer was not going to commit to a show that would run on and on for years without end and watching the show fall into the same lame story of looking and looking for earth and always being just a step away but never finding it. that story line gets plaid out after a very short period and besides its be done so many times already.
watch season 3 if you have it, some of what happens plays an important part in the season 4 back looks and it does move the original story along.

I watched all of Season 3 on TV, didn't miss one episode. My favorite episode was Unfinished Business and I need to see the extended version which is on the DVD I hear :/
FLOTSOM, me and you are on the same page bro, that's the exact reason I stopped watching Lost. I quit somewhere in Season 3, I couldn't deal with it anymore. After Torn, thought good episodes were few and far between. Eye of Jupiter was good but I thought The Passage and Rapture were crap story telling at its worst. Then the character that dies in Maelstrom (dont want to give anything away), another example of terrible storytelling. Crossroads Pt2 was very good though. Lee's speech was one of the highlights of the entire series.

I downloaded an episode when it first came out (since I did not have cable at the time). After watching '33' (never saw the mini series until at least a year later), I immediately downloaded the whole first season and spent the next 2 days watching every single episode.
I grew up with Star Wars and Star Trek and I've always loved the Sci-Fi genre. I absolutely fell in love with BSG after I saw the first episode. My favorite TV Sci-Fi of all time and my favorite TV show of all time. Granted there have been less than stellar episodes, but what series doesn't.
-
Imagine how many fans the show could potentially have garnered if more people would have known about it or just given it a chance.
-
I watched the first 2 seasons, had them downloaded on my computer, I still need to get the rest of the seasons, but from the first 2 seasons I saw it's definitely a great show.
-
I watched the original years a go.
And that's why i don't watch the new one. I hated that one and Space 1999.

well uptown the new one is soooo different from the original that the only thing they share is very basic story outline and the name.
rent download or go by the dvd for the mini series that started the new version off. youll see it is nothing like the show you hated years ago.

I'll check it out. I hated the "new" Star Trek when it first came out. The one with Data and Capt.Picard. Then after watching it for a whole season, I can bring myself to watch the old Capt.Kirk episodes anymore :rolleyes:

it is completely different though.
but i tell you what, if you don't like the new one or you think it is the old one just in a new suit then ill happily let you take it out on my squaddie JETSOM. you will have my permission to vent your frustration on him and shoot him down at every possible opportunity!
now is that fair or what?! can i possibly make the deal any sweater than that?

They have more BSG? I thought the episode where they found earth was a radioactive wasteland was the end. Figured it was their tribute to The Planet of the Apes.
-
I have the first 2 (2.5?) seasons on DVD. I got as far as them finding the Pegasus. I need to catch up.
You know, when these shows are out weekly, for some reason I have no interest or miss key episodes. Then, a year or two later, I buy the collections and can't beleive what I missed out. I didn't think much of Star Trek Voyager til I bought the DVDs or caught the daily re-runs on Spike TV. Then I was disappointed it was all over!

LEXX and Farscape were really a fresh breeze in sci-fi tv. I used to love the original BSG as a kid and still love Star Trek - my favourite is TNG though. The original starts to be a bit dated in effects.

I almost refused to start watching the show because of my memories of the original and how bad it was. Then one day they had a re-run marathon on HDNet and I caught a few episodes. I determined that the show was bad bellybutton and soon downloaded the first season and caught up on the second season. Its been my favorite TV show ever since. I've since bought the DVDs for all 3 seasons and I hope they come out on Blu Ray some time soon. I've even bought the Original Sound Tracks for each season and my World of Warcraft PvP video is set to BSG music (much better than the same 4 songs all other WoW videos the kiddies set them to).
I've got a pool going at work for who the 5th of the final five turns out to be. From the info that's come out during this mid 4th season break, I have a feeling there's going to be no winner though.
My favorite episode is still 33, its strange that the first episode after the pilot was so well conceived and executed. But the 4th episode in season 3 where they escape from New Caprica is my second favorite, and it just so happens to contain the best special effects sequence in the history of the small screen, imo. A great, great episode.

you gotta be right. when they canceled farscape, i absolutely REFUSED to watch anything at all on scifi. then they did the peacekeeper wars, and i figured./...COOL!! they're bruinging it back. friggin jerks!! only teasin us. went back to not tuning scifi for any reason. then i heard about BSG. that won me back. loved the way they mixed some of the old with the new.
i only wish i were home more for it, as i've never been one to buy dvd;s.

Aeryn Sun would so kick her ass.
FarScape got canceled. Then immediately SciFi turned around and announced BSG because they wanted an "Edgy, sexy space-based drama." WHICH THEY HAD JUST KILLED.
So many stories they left unresolved. What happened to Sikozu and Grunshlk at the end of PK Wars? They made an awful big point of showing them together before the planet was destroyed by Crichton. What about the Nebari Resistance?

Final cylon? I think there's a clue who it is in EVERY intro to the show. Who's the character that survives a nuclear shockwave by hiding behind flesh and blood? Who's the character that had a subconscious relationship with a cylon that forced him to do things in almost every episode of season 1 and 2? Who's the character that has now built himself up into a religious figure? Hmm.. I wonder who the final cylon is :)

they already proved that he wasnt the final cylon. when he met with the cylon in the pool that controls the ships. its not him. besides he would have been way to obvious.
im thinking commander addama or someone equally as unbelievable.

If it's Adama i'm going to be angry, that just seems stupid. If it's some random character like Tigh's wife, I'm going to be angry. I don't believe the Hybrid, I still think it's Baltar. We shall see though :)

I watched on the scifi website the other day, the comic con BSG panel that had moore and the other producer and a few cast members. Moore said his favorite part of the whole series was when they jumped it ahead a year. I was 'okay' with that unlike some fans I knew who thought it was stupid. I really don't think it was anything ground breaking. I think they were either writing themselves into a wall or had some serious writers block and thats how they resolved it.
-
If you guys like BSG, (Which i do enormously) you should check out Babylon 5. It was a scifi show in the mid 90s that pretty much redefined SciFi. Its story arc format was the prototype for the last half of DS9 and the new BSG series. The effects are a little cheesy and the 1st season was not that good, but it really was an awesome show. Seasons 2-4 were probably the best SciFi ive ever watched. Its easily found on DVD and bit torrent if you are a pirate of the high seas.

She's actually Aussie with a small touch of Brit mixed in. Either way that's hot.
I'm going through and rewatching the show from the beginning on DVD. MAN it's been so long since I've seen this (couldn't find my set until last week). Somewhat uneven for the first 15 episodes, but once you hit 16 (A Human Reaction) the whole series from that point forward falls in line, and it's clear why this was one of the best shows on television in its day. That, and not only do muppets by themselves just plain rule, but this show had smart-assed muppets with bad attitudes. The SciFi execs who politiced the show into cancellation deserve to burn in hell for how they handled it. They wanted an excuse to cancel it, so just manufactured one.

Yes . . . they needed the room in their schedule to bring us such quality programming as "Tremors: The Series." :rolleyes:

I can't wait until the last episode!

"33" is my favorite episode.The pilot episode was pretty neat.I thought it was horrible of them to leave that guy on that space ammunition depot.Then it turns out he was a cylon after all...silly me <G> If the future of the Human race is ever at stake please dont ask Pipz for advice :aok I realy enjoyed some of the early episodes.They lost me for awhile with that whole New Caprica story Line.I thought Razor was pretty good.I havnt watched BSG in some time and need to refresh my memory.Maybe they will have a marathon or something before the last episodes are aired.
I liked FarScape as well.I was suprised when they canceled it....but egghead exec's always know whats best for us :furious I watched Lexx as well but didnt like it as much.

As I said, there IS a small mix of Brit. One of her parents was Aussie, the other was Brit and she spent time growing up in both places so she has a mix of both accents.

Does anyone here know of anyone that has every sat through and watched one of Sci-Fi's made of TV movies? Unless you're too shy to get stoned to death, I imagine the answer is no one. Some of the premises and acting in those movies are worse the B-movie quality. I can honestly say I'd rather watch 3 hours of mindless reality TV crapola than watch any of their movies. How a TV channel can snub religious fan followers (and critically acclaimed shows) in favor of low budget crap fests is beyond me.

My favorite was "Pterodactyl" starring Coolio. It was about these Pterodactyls that hatch in a volcano and terrorize the earth. Theres a twist though...they cant be seen on radar. Thats right! STEALTH PTERODACTYLS!

I admit it, "I AM THE FINAL CYLON" , there I said it.
Wow feels good to have that off my chest.
To tell you the truth this all started out (the destruction of humanity) as a way of getting out of dinner with the inlaws and it kinda snowballed on me.
I prolly should spoke up sooner but hey, better late then never, sorry about all the death and destruction.
Are we good now?

She was born and raised here, and calls herself an aussie but she probably learnt from her time filming in NZ to talk a little more precise....annnnddd....aaa... .bittt....sslloooowweerrr to be understood by your average Kiwi

She talks with a brit accent in farscape, not kiwi, not aussie. She might've come to NZ to shake off the accent of lower class english criminals australia is cursed with.

How did a BSG thread turn into the clash of the colonies that were let go without a fight? :lol

Because all discussions of SciFi Channel programming eventually leads to a lamentation over the cancellation of FarScape, and FarScape was a major Australian project. It's only natural that the Kiwis and Aussies are going to fight over one of modern science fiction's hottest space babes.

thought about that but the hybrid didn't out her and it would so muddy the water that it would destroy the story line. at least thats my opinion. she is the biggest anti-cylon in the fleet.
but it could be apollo, that would throw in enough story twist without making it twisted beyond the telling.

There isn't much storyline left to continue. She would really have to consider her anti-cylon stance if she'd be a cylon too and everyone would then live happily ever after.

Don't see how it could be Apollo. He's Adama's son. It seems like if apollo was one, adama would have to be one. Of course there's only one left though so that doesn't seem to work. :cough: Baltar :cough:
The storyline deals with Fate so much and how they aren't really in control of their destiny but are merely playing characters in a neverending cycle. I feel like the only 2 characters that have been driven by fate the entire series are Roslin and Baltar. Baltar especially though. How many times he has eluded death is staggering. It's as if the cylon's collective unconscious is allowing him to survive because he is the Final One.
-
Well, the Fifth has to be someone on the Basestar at the end of what we've seen so far. Because Deanna said the fifth wasn't in the fleet, only four of them were. If the 5th wasn't in the fleet it had to be someone Deanna knew to be on the basestar.
And the only major characters on the basestar were Roslin, Baltar, and Helo. There were some recurring minor characters like Hotdog (who is Eddy's son IRL btw) and Seelix on the basestar, but it would be kind of lame to make the 5th one of them.
I don't think it could be someone who is dead, because I don't think Deanna had time to be briefed on everything that happened since she was boxed.
The big question is... why wasn't the 5th activated with the other four at the nebula and again in the last episode we saw so far? The 5th has to be fundamentally different from the other four just like the final five are fundamentally different from the other cylons.

I think it would be quite lame to make the final cylon, the granddaddy of them all, the most shocking revelation yet...some minor character? I don't think they are trying to trick us here, you have to pick someone that fits. :cough: Baltar :cough:
-
Baltar is far too obvious...and they've been playing along with he might be a cylon since the beginning..
Tigh was far too much of a stretch as it was, the fact Adama knew him from the first cylon war seems to have been completely glossed over...Tom Zarek would've seemed a good choice but considering he spent 20 years in prison prior to the start of the second Cylon war would discount him (although again that wasnt a problem with Tigh), or maybe the return of Ellen Tigh or Admiral Cain would be a good twist seeing how the 5th isnt part of the existing fleet

If you go back to the Mini-series, didn't Lee jump to find the fleet in his Viper, like out of the blue? I haven't seen it in a couple years and can't remember. How easy would for him to have been planted. Just needed a Viper from one of the many destroyed Battlestars.

the 5th cylon is .......Adm. Cain!! mark my words!
she's gonna come back and be frakkin pissed apollo blew up her ship!

I don't think that the 5th Cylon can come back from the dead. I was under the assumption the final five each only had one body.

possibly but, we aren't sure either way right now. It would make for a interesting plot twist.
I'm really hoping they splain how the other 4 were cylons and for how long <ie. Col. Tigh> Were they switched at some point? Tigh and Adama knew each other for YEARS going back to the 1st war. Was he a Cylon then?

i think that this is why they are going forward with the prewar series. caprica will probably be used to establish the events that allowed the five to be placed within the human population without even their own knowledge of it.
just a guess though. if they leave the mystery then they will attracked viewers to the new show out of curiosity.

yeah ellen is the 5th...what got me tho was how the other 4 are remembering their time on earth. They were all there 2000 yrs ago when everything went south. I have very high hopes for this season.
Now they gotta find a new home PLUS they have the ebil cylons chasing them.
-
well considering that she was killed on new caprica its really not a plot mover. it doesnt help to progress the story when a key component is dead and you already know how they died.
definitely didnt expect it, but i dont see how it helps any.

remeber she said : dont worry saul we will be together again. she's dead BUT she is coming back.
They were there 2k yrs ago so it stands to reason that she will be returning. resurrected somehow. i dunno how but she is coming back......much to the joy of all the lonely guys in da fleet
-
I'm going to go out on a limb and say they are all Cylons. Cylon skinjobs= humans.

Incidentally a resurrection ship happened to be close by when she died at new caprica and somehow her resurrection went by unnoticed. Well, that didn't sound convincing. Sure there must been the ship around because there were Cylons around, but I'm sure they would notice a stranger walking about the corridors. Besides, are they capable of resurrection like the Cylons?

I wonder if she has been resurrected by something like the Ships of Light/Beings of Light from the original series. where Apollo and starbuck die,
used to do something for the beings then resurrected back to alive and with the fleet.

That's possible, they have from time to time used themes from the original series episodes.
Tyrol seeing where he got vaporized is quite eerie.. :eek:
-
They seemed to be saying the fight between humans and cylons was a fight that had/has been going on forever and the were destined to repeat the same situations over and over? Its almost as if the cylons kill all the humans and then resurrect them to continue the fight again in search of a new outcome? Pretty interesting writing for the show no matter what the final outcome is.
-
They confirmed the 13th colony was all cylons, so who attacked them? humans? or something else?

This what I was thinking. I was wondering if or when they would bring the Ships of Light into this. But after seeing Starbuck a toasty critter in her ship on earth, I'm wondering if she is a skin job. And there are more than just the final five, so far, 6.
So I guess, it is correct that the bodies they found buried are cylons, then......we are all CYLONS! :O
-
It was a good episode. I'm not going to pass judgment really until this half of the season is done and I'll take it in as a whole.
-
So they have Cylons on Earth 2,000 tears before the humans even created them? Sounds like a BIG hole in the plot. Just makes the new series [about how they create the Cylons] pointless.

Unless they show how the old Cylons (perhaps the "final five" ones fom "Earth") manipulated the colonials to create their own.

I think there is gonna be something more made of the fact that saul sees ellen sometimes when he is doing....ummm talking to the 6 model in da brig. maybe ellens essence got transferred or something.
As for space battles, at the end Adama eleuded to that by saying how the ebil cylon fleet is chasing them and he is basically looking for a place to make his stand.
I still have high hopes for this final season. Sure as hell beats watching the news and all the really depressing crap going on all over, i truly need a distraction atleast once a week.

Here's a thought. What if Ellen was an older model of Number 6? That's why Col. Tigh was attracted to Six. It's a stretch but with the way things are looking, they're going to end up being all Cylons.

On another note, I don't think they are on the real Earth, and will end up wandering around for a few episodes then stumble upon the real Earth towards the end.

The series ends with the remnants wandering the stars looking for a new home.
I haven't decided yet

I thought the premiere was awesome. I'm not sure why sci fi and BSG tried to hype up "the final one" so much. Sci fi would always run commercials about it and the BSG intro "one will be revealed" tried to make it into something extravagant. And it wasn't even a main character! They shouldn't have done that in retrospect, seems it was just a marketing ploy to attract new viewers. But anyways, I don't mind that Ellen is the final one. I just want to watch and absorb it and I'm sure it will all make sense and end in epic fashion.
-
Been watchin it since the mini-series as well as the original when I was a kid.
Keep in mind, Ellen specifically said everything was in place for them to be "reborn" not resurrected. Why only those 5? Or are there more somewhere else?
Also something that is yet to come out.....there are (at least 2) cylon/human hybrid children whose significance is yet to be revealed. That is other than them being the first "known" hybrids.

I am DVR'ing the whole series and will watch it as I can. I am one of those who finds it hard to be home when the show comes on.

Not were they just capable of resurrection, but they are the creators of resurrection. It sure didn't go unnoticed either.

It's really getting intereting, now the Galactica herself is a intrigal plot point, will she fall apart at the next jump ue to shoddy workmanship? will adama allow galen to employ cylon technology to save the old gal?
Watch em all end up on the baseship getting their collected freak on. seems to be a underlying theme throughout the whole series....getting your human/cylon freak on! :huh
-
will adama allow galen to employ cylon technology to save the old gal?
At the end of 'no exit' Adama told the chief to do what ever it takes. I assume that meant using the cylon bio stuff...
-

Yeah that's what it meant for sure. It's getting very good...
-
Admiral Adama has been popping pills the last few episodes and appears to be in pain and worn out. It seems the ship is reflecting this.. or vice versa.. Adama's fate = Galactica's fate.
If the Galactica gets a face lift with cylon technology, then maybe Adama will become a cyborg? ;)
-
Each Cylon model has been designed for a purpose and the final five are the designers with Ellen as the lead or 'Mother.' I dont see how Starbuck fits into it all unless even the Colonials are clones with programmed memories. Then the Galactica could be a lot older then any of the crew know.
-
Am I finding a pattern that all the old time lovers of BSG original hate the new version? I first watched the new version and went back on hulu and watched the original. Although the idea was interesting in the late 70's, it is no where near the same show as the current version. And I think old time lovers wanting the same stuff regurgitated with 21st century computer animation should form a line over there and get ready for the next nostalgia remake movie that Hollywood puts out.
Picard vs Kirk anyone?
And...get off my lawn.

Ha! I remember the original was a great Sunday night pizza break but it was corny even then. The new one is much more interesting and more faithful to human nature. I cant wait to see how John is punished or if he is.

Do realize that there is a little girl that keeps appearing in several key episodes..in different roles.
the girl president roslyn talks to when the civilian fleet gathers together...and later dies when the cylons attack and her ship could not jump.
...then she appears again on one of the civilian ships during the riots.
...she was in new caprica in the makeshift school
...then she appears on Adama's flashback of the first cylon war when he discovered the freak hooked up to the tubing..the girl was with an adult caught behind a door he could not open to rescue them
amongst others.
who knows..maybe she's just a kid they use as an extra a lot.. but then again.. why do they keep showing her face in closeups and interacting in some way with the main characters?
food for thought.

I thought No Exit was an excellent episode. They've only had one kind of downer this season (well 2nd half of the 4th season), and that was episode 2 where nothing really happened for 60 minutes. Though it did lay the ground work for the things that have been happening.

Why not settle with both? You've seen Balthar do it. Every female cylon has been buzzing around him. Well, except for those creator ones.

So it seems that Starbuck is really frackin' confused about if she is a Cylon or not. Maybe she just got trapped in a wormhole that brought her through a parallel universe and wiped her memory at the same time.
-
I think it will be funny as frak to find out starbuck.......is really a GUY!!! :O
I wouldnt put it past the writers. least then all the people that loved tos and hated the fact that they made starbuck into a chick would be happy :devil

I'm really glad some of you guys aren't writing for the show...

Boy wouldn't making Starbuck a guy really throw the fans into a homo-erotic loop since she has "slept" with at least two other characters and married one of them!
Wow talk about jumping the shark!
-
actually i was thinking about the whole starbuck thing.
one of the final cylons was killed long before by that salamander cylon. he sabotage the guys tank, what if he just replaced him with a starbuck model and star buck is actually the final cylon?
would explain alot of things, like how she is alive, the craft she returned to the ship on, why her history is such a mess ect ect.
-
Im hoping she isnt a cylon because at one point she was sitting in judgment with two cylons upon collaborators with the cylons. I found it interesting that the chief pointed out boomer tonight as if he had a good cylon sniffer all of the sudden and then also the meek of the people inheriting the big guns. That cant end well.
-
Could be that Starbuck is a Cylon but from the other Cylon colony that escaped the destruction of Earth. Maybe they're the "Beings of Light" in this version of BSG.

I think the only reason he "sniffed" her out (no pun intended) is because at one time he was fraking her every other moment that he could plus the fact that she completely broke his heart ANd shot the old man.

Your probably right, as far as the story line goes BUT, ya gotta admit there would be ALOT more dogfighting and space battles! :rock

Looks like next week episode is going to have more info about Starbuck. I wouldn't be surprised to see her storyline being tied into the 'other colony' in some way. However I don't know how they are going to explain why her viper resurrected.

Last night's episode was pretty weak imo. Nothing really compelling happened.

Well I agree that not really good happened it did have a bunch of plot setups for the last few episodes. Any one know if they are going to do a full cinema movie in the not to distant future?

I'm pissed at hulu right now, last couple weeks they've had the episodes up the next day as I'm never around on a friday night to watch them. It's not up yet so I'm d/ling from itunes and it's a diddlying 5 hour download for the reg, 11 hours for HD version. Damnit.

Yeah, someone mentioned on the si fi boards that they will only be available 8 days after it airs. The streamed version from si fi is frustrating to watch with my internet connection. It doesn't download the stream fast enough so it pauses every 30 to 60 seconds to rebuffer the stream. However the commercials always streams in without any problems :lol, I don't understand why that would be.... (http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g185/s0da72/39.gif)
I've been downloading from itunes to avoid using the streamed version they have. The Itunes download has been consistant since the start of the season, better than before. It used to be you would have to wait at least a day before you could download. However this time around it's ready to download early Saturday morning...

Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB2 will hook up with any version of windows and your cable to give you TV on your computer. You can set it to record a series and it will record every occurence. For some reason Newegg doesnt stock them right now but Amazon has them. With three of them and three separate hard drives you can record three shows simultaneously even while you watch a recorded show (or record two while watching one live). One hour of BSG comes out to a little over four gigabytes of space.

Oops even Amazon is OOS. :cry

I like the "feldecarb" toothpaste......good play on the original series. But I'm not sure I'd want to put that crap in my mouth :lol

I hate to say it, but I can't wait for them to wrap this up. I had high hopes for BSG when it started, but it turned into a scifi soap opera.

There is a big line between a soap opera and a drama. I don't think Adama married Rosilyn's evil twin sister by mistake and then divorced her when he found out. All along while the original Rosilyn was boinking Adama's son but was latter killed by Starbuck and was found out to be a Cylon when she was resurrected. Rinse and repeat 12 times a season.
Anyways, since I'm on the cheap, I don't have cable. When scifi.com first put the show on their site, they allocated more bandwidth to it then they do now. Now its lower quality and a lower frame rate, which is irritating. And they never put the shows up right away like others have mentioned. Hulu is an alternative, but their video is more compressed and they again don't put the shows up right away.
The last few weeks I've grown tired of the 2 above and have started to use torrents again to download the shows. Sometimes the torrents are available within 20 minutes of a show airing. Generally their good quality and come in around 350mb. Depending on the swarm, I can have the episode downloaded in less than 30 minutes. Though a warning to those who try it. Before yesterday, I've had no hitches on getting the show from torrents. The show I downloaded was downloading media usage rights when I first opened the file, which isn't normal. Then I got a popup from Media player asking to download a program to gain access to the rights to watch it. So that was a delete immediately and a virus scan. I found comments later on the torrent that others reported infection from. I found another clean one and it was 720p resolution, took longer to dl but it was worth it.

I don't know if this has been brought up before, if it has I apologize. I was watching the 1st episode again and I happened to notice something. If you watch the scene where Rosylin (sp?) is waiting in the doctor's office alone, in the skylight from right to left Serenity (the ship from the FireFly series) over flys the city. Makes me wonder if the same graphics studio did BSG as Firefly.
-
Firefly was a better show.

Wasn't that canceled after a couple of seasons?

Word.
Firefly was cancelled by FOX after they ran the episodes out of order and nobody could follow what was going on. Then FOX in their infinite wisdom refused to release the rights so another network could pick it up. Can't let a compeditor take a great show and prove the FOX exec's had their head up their 6.
-

I couldn't agree more. Like I said I was surprised to see Serenity in BSG.
-
There are 3 homages in the miniseries, The Serenity, a Constitution class starship in the "rag tag" fleeet, and the Agro ship from Silent Running

Two great series that were cancelled due to poor marketing: Firefly and Arrested Development (I hear they are going to make a movie based on the second one as well).

Heh not that I'm aware of...there was one in a episode of Futurama once...
Love that show, I use the theme for my ringtone on my mobile for calls from home, and have 2 eagles - a Dinky version 2 transporter from the late 70's (although not in as perfect condition as the pic), and a new 2006 product enterprise freighter

The Constitution class starship is really hard to see. I only spotted it when someone posted a blown up pic from a still. and it was still a fairly blurry/grainy pic. BUT, it is in there.
Didnt know about the serenity. The agro ship has made an appearance in several episodes IIRC
-

Yes and the fans petitioned to get it back and they made a movie.
I doubt that will happen with BSG. At least this version.
-
i've started watching the full series beginning with the first season for the couple weeks or so..at the end of the second season.
only thing missing? i wish the cylons had a sense of humor...ressurection punking could be quite hilarious.
back in the pool of goo: "dangit 6!!! yer gonna pay for that."
-
This latest episode was a bit of a letdown. I would have thought they would have explained some more things. Instead we see Adama wrestling with the idea of abandoning ship :cry
It seems that they did set more stuff up and I guess it will be a grand finale....or atleast I HOPE so :pray
Plugging anders into the ship and reviving him only to hear him spout gobbeldy-gook like the hybrieds do.... :huh
kinda sad that I got my excited after the show watching the preview for next week :confused:Some of the fans on the BSG boards take the show a lil bit to seriously and IMNSHO aren't firing on all thrusters :rofl
-
Yeah the last couple of episodes haven't been all that exciting.
-
Pfft, Space:Above and beyond whops all these shows butt's.
Well when it comes to good ship designs and good action.
Space marines! com'on!
The suits,the guns the ships the effects, everything was great.
-
Space Above and Beyond was a much better show.
A couple of clips from one of the best episodes.

wow...i had almost forgotten about that show. wish it would be put back on.
-
Sorry, but that show sucked.
I refuse to believe that Marines of the future would be that whiney.
I also refuse to believe that piloting could be so easy that every ground pounder would be taught how to do it, or conversely, that there would be such a shortage of Marines that pilots would be sent to do the ground pounding.

You mean the same way BSG is?

Many of BSG's space combat shots reek of Babylon 5.
-
That was a better show as well.
-
Punky Brewster was a better sci-fi than BSG apparently.
-
I really looked forward to the last ten episodes.Now,with just three episodes left I keep waiting for something to happen.The two mutiny episodes were the only two of the seven that were even remotely entertaining for me.
-
Well it looks like we might end on a high note for the series. They have drug it down through the gutter so now they have no where to go but up.
As for other notable series...I loved Space Above and Beyond for its story line. Particularly the one with the old colonel who flew into the black hole playing Ring of Fire...that was my favorite of them.

Who knows, IF the Marines are still around 100 years from now they may be using that. :aok

Well what alot of people dont know is the background story to space above and beyond.
It was deep, and everything happend for a reason.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space:_Above_and_Beyond
Check it out, unfortunitly i cannot find the more detailed storyline. :|
Basics are, between being unable to make babys, then the A.I. wars, then the chig wars (and all the multiple war on earth before during and after), yeah humans in S.O.A.B. was on the nitty gritty, to say the least.
Wildcards were all invitros "genetic engineered humans, not* clones" they were slaves of state and therefor were not treated as humasn, they have no family,no sisters no brothers, so when the human A.I wars kicked off, most would sit the battle's out, and through that became seen as lazy worthless and just downright not caring, about anything.
After the A.I. wars, they were freed, and thus had the ability to join in the military.
But the "tank" stigma still fallows them.
-
You mean the same way BSG is?
Not sure which you were comparing.
Yes, too much whining by BSG military types, especially the Admiral.
But BSG clearly shows viper pilots are different from the dedicated ground-pounder/security type troops.
