Battlestar Galactica

[Busyman]

Haven't seen the last ones, but that sounds about how I figured things would go.


Saw the movie/pilot of the first series again, the new Baltar is way better than the old.

I still like the old Centurions and how they sounded.

Plus the story is slightly different.

In the old one, Baltar wasn't an accidental traitor and the Cylons were human that "uploaded" there consciousness into machines....far more interesting.

I've been wondering about the story, btw. Some one said the new series was a continuation of the old, and they certainly had the same sort of vipers as the MKIIs in the new series, and the centurions on display look the same too.

But it isn't really a direct sort of follow up to the old series, is it?
'cos the stories don't seem quite the same.

(Granted, I never saw the entire old series.)

DL it. It's pretty good for nostalgia's sake (and story). The Cylons had more mystery to them. "By your command"

The new series is NOT a continuation of the old.

It is a reimagining of it.

Im not up to date with the series,
yesterday I finally got arround to watch season two, episode 2.

[Busyman]

The new season has been great and looks like the season finale is called Pegasus.

For those that don't know, in the original series Pegasus was another Battlestar that survived and it had Kirk Douglas as it's hard ass commander.

In one particular heroic battle, Pegasus takes heavy damage and you never know if they survived.

I'm slightly pissed that this new Pegasus has a woman commander who it looks like, outranks Adama, tries to relieve him of command, and they but heads.

It would have been nice for the producers to have kept an old hard ass as the Pegasus' commander but I guess Colonel Tigh is enough old hard ass for two Battlestars already.

This will be the season finale btw.

The Pegasus episode was good as shit.

It was pretty slick making it a 2-parter so you have to tune back in when the season starts back up.

It was not the season finale btw. Sci-Fi likes to split their seasons up.

Interesting that after a commercial break there was a viewing discretion warning and then there was an attempted rape.

Spoiler: Show

Tyrol and Helo accidently kill one of the Pegasus officers (that was trying to rape SHARON as part of an "interogation" and that bitch from the Pegasus "decides" to execute them. Adama then launches fighters to Pegasus to get his men back then..........

TO BE CONTINUED

It looks like that was only last season.

Plus why would SkyOne get to air it first just because it was underwritten by them?

The only reason Sky may air the second half-first is because Sci-Fi takes rerun breaks and splits the season up while Sky does not.

Sky viewers will probably see the entire season uninterupted.

I'm almost glad for the break of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis and BS.

My TIVO needs relief 'cause all the other shows coming on.

edit: nvm...I see season 2 hasn't even started yet on SKY.

Im happy, I just watched the new episode of Battlestar Galactica,
and I think it might have been the gratest so far.

Damn Im more convinced every day, that BsG is very well w[COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]riten,
it has very deep moments,
like when Cmdr Adama is informed by Phone that
the Chief and Helo are going to be killed, and then he pauses for a second and makes this gesture on his face,
like he really regrets havin to go agains the Admiral.
Also the very classical violin music, when both Adama and the Admiral are by the phone
and the vipers are manuevering in space.
And when the Pegasus' xo tell Sal (Bs' xo) about the other fleet and the killing of families, damn, that part really got to me.
Then there is the way you are made to feel sad for the Cylons on board,
like when Sannon had just been rescued from being abused and she is just laying
on the floor, she turns to the bed and just grabs a blanket over her back
and continues crying; she looked so burnerable at that scene.
Also the Cylon in the Pegasus, the scene when DrBaltar enters the cell and he is
strucked by the smell of the place,
and to see the beautiful woman he know, learning that she has been misstreated and raped, wich reminded me of the Viet war.
and what is more, he onfesses he loves that woman.

Battlestar Galactica is a great show. IMO....it may even be better than "Lost." This show has really great writing. Today is a new episode and I can't wait to see what happens w/ both commanders' plans.
