Battlestar Galactica

iwz by iwz · Nov 19, 2004 · 457 views

Just wanted to let you all know how awesome this new show is. It starts in January on SciFi, but it's been playing in the UK, so I've been taking some "sneak peeks", if you know what I mean.

It's a remake of the old series from the late 70s. Never saw the originals, so I don't know how similar the new series is. But the writing, directing, and acting is just awesome.

Such a cool scifi universe too. No aliens and stuff. Just humans and the cylons. Cylons are highly advanced robots created by humans that rebel, are banished, and come back hundreds of years later for revenge. Only about 50,000 humans are left, and they're running from the cylons. Intense, emotional, and action packed.

Highly recommended. Hopefully they'll replay the 2 part miniseries they aired back in December '03. Gives you a great feel for the show, and sets up the whole story.

I encourage anyone to at least give this a shot--if you like sci-fi

flomojopoanode #16 flomojopoanodeFounder
juicymango #15 juicymangoOG 2003

Hmm. I think I pretty much dislike anything with the name "star" in it, or anything having to do with galaxies.

iwz #15.1 iwz

lol

have you watched the show? the acting is great, the drama is intense, and the show is great all around

thefunkyfresh #15.2 thefunkyfreshFounder

hear hear!!

flomojopoanode #15.3 flomojopoanodeFounder

so I guess part of the chapter on Jehovah's power (in Draw Close book) --that talked about the size of the galaxy, and sheer number of stars, and galaxies--didn't impress you much?

juicymango #15.3.1 juicymangoOG 2003

LOL

flomojopoanode #15.3.1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

:P

hahaha

yay #15.3.2 yayOG 2004

haha actually, she's not a big fan of big numbers and scientific equations. so yeah you'd be right.

iwz #14 iwz

iwz #12.1.1 iwz

can't believe she did that.. i liked him a lot

flomojopoanode #12.1.1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

I hope he pulls through, but I doubt it

suchgr8heights #11 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

I just like saying battlestar galactica over and over again...but I have no idea what it means!

rocksupastar #11.1 rocksupastarFounder

....go play in traffic.

iwz #10 iwz

Anybody been watching? Impressions?

flomojopoanode #10.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

well, you know how I feel....thanks, again, for the hookup!

sunshyne #10.2 sunshyneOG 2004

im watching. i missed the second ep (i think) but i caught this week prison ship. i like it okay. the mini series was def more interesting than the series so far. it fits nicely into my sci friday block. i love stargate!!!

iwz #10.2.1 iwz

the first two episodes wer great. the 3rd, not my favorite. but they only get better from there on out.

sunshyne #10.2.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

well now that stargate is new eps...they have my attn.

iwz iwz

I never watched that.. I didn't like how they changed the actors from the movies...

I hear it's good though.

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

well, duh! did you think kurt russell and james spader would do tv? james spader needed an ego check before he took the practice or whatever they are calling it now. seriously its a great show. i love mythology stuff and they do a really good job with it. plus richard dean anderson is just cool.

sunshyne #9 sunshyneOG 2004

i watched this saturday. i found it highly enjoyable.

sunshyne #9.1 sunshyneOG 2004

and i might add, although i generally think blondes are blah, tricia helfer/number 6 is yowsa! she is that stupendous rebecca romijn/charlize theron sort of blonde.

fivezero #8 fivezeroOG 2003

i never took interest in this. i always though it was a poor man's star wars. but the new stuff looks quality. the effects were well done and the acting didn't suck. i might have to peep this.

deanh77 #8.1 deanh77Founder

the original series is really hard to watch. but this new one looks good.

fivezero #8.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

I agree. The old series was a bit laughable at times. It had it's moments, but this new series looks like a really good effort.

hunkpapap #7 hunkpapapOG 2003

i used to watch this all the time on tv when i was a kid. i remember the ships and laser beams but little else. I may be wrong on this, but wasn't this show only like, one season?

thatdarngirl #6 thatdarngirlOG 2002

My mom and I watched an old episode not too long ago. Good stuff.

socalgal #5 socalgalOG 2003

OMG, i used to watch this with my daddy when i was a little girl! one of my FAV shows! i must check out the new ones!

sunshyne #4 sunshyneOG 2004

arent you afraid of scientology brainwashing?

deanh77 #4.1 deanh77Founder

no, you're thinking of the movie "Battlefield Earth" which was based on one of the books by the same author of "Dianetics" (L. Ron Hubbard) the foundation of Scientology.

sunshyne #4.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

thanks for the correction!

forrestina #3 forrestinaOG 2002

I'm gonna have to find somewhere to watch this. (BONUS: Vicky's model AND one of my fave girls from Higher Ground-the show Hayden Christensen started off in)

flomojopoanode #2 flomojopoanodeFounder

this does look pretty cool.

iwz #2.1 iwz

it's awesome.

flomojopoanode #2.1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

I can no definitely agree. Episodes 4 and 5 were really awesome. I can't wait to get 6, etc...
