Star Wars and all Sci-Fi in General Sucks

[Darth Paris]

Back on the subject of Battlestar Galatica. Did anybody watch it tonight or am I just tooting it horn for nothing?

I saw it. It seems to be heading in a good direction. One thing I didn't get though. Is it suppose to be a mystery which Boomer is real? I mean why would the cylons have let Boomer and that other guy just walk away like that?

Heres another good shot.

[Faustus]

Not a mystery which is real. But is boomer a cylon, or is the original and copied by the cylons. If so how? These questions will not last long BTW.

Hello,

It still has a derogatory title and you posted in which you broke your promise

Poor bazooka - doesn't realize the irony of an ANTI-SCI FI thread devolving into a thread about a Battlestar Gallactica spinoff!

It was more of an anti yoda313 thread, actually

Tough question. It twas long ago. I think it was at least 1 and 2. Possibly 3. I know the shadow war had been resolved. I also remember they ended it with this weird recap of the future episode.

Sounds like you saw part of season 4, since the shadow war was resolved part-way through there. The future episode you describe sounds like the last one in Season 4, where they look back on the events at B5 from 10 years, 100 years, 1000 years, and 1000000 years later. Season 5 would definitely be worth looking into, not as much action as the previous seasons but it has alot of character development, and Sleeping In Light is great.

Reimaging. Not a spinoff. The old battlestar was chunked in the trash when they made this one.

[yoda313]

Hello,

Ahh.... Reimagining is worse because it doesn't have to respect the original series at all....

Kevin

In general I agree. But indeed its better then the original in many ways.

Hello,

Well I guess if you enjoy it then that's all that matters

Kevin

(just like I like the prequels much more than most people here seem too.....)

Kevin

So Galactica 1980 did a better job respecting the original? If the show was a continuation I probably wouldn't watch. The original was so...lame in my eyes. I tried watching it again and I almost died of bordem.

[yoda313]

Hello,

I was never really into battlestar gallactica.

Like I said if you like the new ones then that's all that really matters. No one can change the fact that I enjoy the PREQUELS more than most people seem too. So I will be waiting for Episode 3 to be released and won't care what anyone else thinks :P

We know you do not have a life.

[yoda313]

Hello,

Thanks with friends you like you I don't need enemies!!! (j/k of course )

Kevin

[Faustus]

Well episode 3 ended by now. (1 and 2 I think aired the first night) anyone else watch this wonderous show?

[flaninacupboard]

looking forward to the finale on monday. does it concluding with so few episodes mean it's doomed?

[yoda313]

Hello,

Sounds like it.....

If it doesn't hit at least 10 episodes I would imagine that its 86'd.....

Most seasons consist of at least 20 episodes as far as I know...

Kevin


(I just saw that MACGYVER comes out on dvd tuesday! COOL don't think I'll buy it right away but it's neat all the old shows are making it out - is PERFECT STRANGERS going to get a dvd treatment????)

[flaninacupboard]

it'll be the 13th episode so.......

[yoda313]

Hello,

Dun dun dun.... (evil organ music plays.... )

Sorry to hear that - I couldn't get into the miniseries that played on NBC but if others liked it sorry it's seem to have hit a dead end...

Kevin

[Darth Paris]

That is all the scifi channel ordered. They are the ones paying for most of it afterall. The reason the season is so short is probably dur to the amount of money SciFi invested in Stargate and The Peacekeeper Wars, which went into production around the same time. Scifi has already ordered four more scripts in case of a second season. Don't expect anything until the US airs some more epsidodes wso the ratings can be evaluated.

[Faustus]

It was Scifi, I think NBC, and skyone cable who footed the bill for 13 episodes. Its been a risky and expensive endevor, just look at the overall quality of actors they have. Heck they have actual names in that thing!

On skyone its being called a finale because they will not likely have first air rights if more are made so they realize it might be a long while until they get to air season 2. Better to call it the end and a while later say "You demanded it so you got it! More Battlestar!"

The existence of season 2 now depends on how well it does here in the US. So watch that sucker!

And yeah they would rather have 13 quality episodes then 13 good ones and some filler they banged out with what was left of the budget. I tend to agree.

[stiltman]

Was 1st Sci-fi TV episode the one that had the old Apollo in it? The prison barge takeover?

[Faustus]

That was the 3rd episode. The first two aired back to back last week.

33
Water
Bastile Day (the one your talking about)

[stiltman]

shit!

[Garibaldi]

so, reactions so the new Battlestar and Stargate episodes last night?

[stiltman]

I haven't seen SG1 or Atlantis yet, but I did tape them

I liked BG though...has a lot of potential

I saw SG1 and taped BG and Atlantis, have to watch them later. SG1 was great, just a great way to bring in the 2nd half of the season, I won't go into detail so as not to spoil it for the rest of you. Very good though... I wonder why Daniel isn't in the promo commercials? Anyway it looks to be a great season!

[Darth Paris]

SG-1 was good. I was a bit board with Atlantis. I'm about to watch Galactica right now. Anyonw see Enterprise? I thought it was ok. It reminded me a lot of an episode of Voyager. At least Hoshi and Travis got some screen time.

Taped ENT too... gotta watch that still. BTW I like your sig!

[Faustus]

Saw Atlantis for the first time on friday. Was not impressed at all. SG1 I've liked from when it was owned by showtime. (pretty sure it was showtime) Back when they had to edit the first episode to show it on TV.
