Battlestar Galactica

[ValenciaSon]

Anyone watch the new series? I think it's great! It plays on the SciFi channel in the US. Does it play in Spain?

[Ben]

Not yet I don't think. I see I'm going to have to check this out soon as so many people say it's great.

[Brian]

I remember when the original was on TV. And I had the original handheld video game. Guess that tells you how old I am. ;)

[ValenciaSon]

I also remember the original. This one is loosely based on the original. It is quite dark and occasionally racy by comparison. The acting, the dialogue, the effects are fantastic. Edward James Olmos plays Adama. Mary McDonell plays the colonial president. Very good entertainment.

There is a spin off to Battlestar Galactica coming next year. It will be called Caprica. It's actually a prequel that takes place 50 years before the Cylon war. :cool:

It's definately the best science fiction on TV. I introduced a few friends to it who never really watch sci-fi and they really enjoy it.
Looking forward to the next season. That was one weird finale.

[ValenciaSon]

I hope it wasn't all just a dream.

Spain's Sci Fi channel, the fifth extension of the Sci Fi brand is scheduled to carry such U.S. programs dubbed in the Spanish language as Stargate Atlantis, Tremors, Seven Days, American Gothic, The Sentinel, Battlestar Galactica and Earth 2.:cool:

This just in! (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070112c.php)

My girlfriend's brother leant me Battlestar Galactica Season 1 and 2 and the film that sets it all up, and since I work so little, I've watched all of them in the space of 4 days and I'm now onto the 3rd series.

I have to say I was sceptical about it since it was a remake but it honestly is a brilliant show.

The Cylons being how they adds so much to the original story it's great

[ValenciaSon]

Last night they aired the first new episode of the second half of season 3. Wow! Any one seen it?


Check this (http://video.scifi.com/shell.swf?v2210) out.

[guapo]

just finished watching the first season this weekend. It was much better than I expected - the cylons are certainly much more interesting than I remember them. The only thing I don't like is the way they summarise the main events of the episode at the start of each episode which spoils it a little.

[Ben]

I always look away for that bit! Haven't seen it yet, but will soon!

[eldeano]

Any news on a Buck Rogers re-make? Or better still, let's have the original back, or in Spanish. I wonder what Erin Gray looks like now..... sorry, mind wandering ;)

[Pepino]

Her career seems to have gone off the boil a bit in recent years. I wonder if she's still wearing the cat-suits?? jeje

Not Buck Rogers but if you are into classic SciFi and not just Erin Gray, Flash Gordon Gets the Green Light (http://www.superherohype.com/news.php?id=5089)

Well I shouldn´t admit it but I remember the original too. Guess that makes me old as rocks. The new one is very good, the original was hookey (hokey)

Because all that has happened has come to pass before.

[ValenciaSon]

Anyone seen the new episodes( 2nd half of season 3) as of last week? I won't say anything cause I don't want to provide spoilers.

[ValenciaSon]

Anyone see the season finale? OMG!! I won't spoil it. I do have some news however, Caprica (http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=14&id=57977)!

[deecree]

Yep! x2

[tad]

I love LOST too.

[ValenciaSon]

Never developed an interest for Lost, maybe I'll save it for my next flu. We are halfway through season of BSG but it won't start until January 2009. PM me if you want to know what has happened so far. I saw Razor as it was televised last November. It is released on DVD. There is also an uncut version but I haven't seen that one.

Razor was good fun, it was good to see scenes from the first cylon war.

How about this:

VS,
Perfect melding of sci-fi geek and political humor.

[ValenciaSon]

Here we go again: PzZX9d18Ebg

[Beckett]

VS,
So, what's your take? Does it appear to you from that trailer that the human race gets further divided between collaborating with the cylons and fighting against them? The trailer gives the impression that Adama and Madame President are going to be on opposing sides.

Also, do you know how many episodes will be in this final season? I see that it is listed as Season 4.5, so that means only 6 new episodes?

I think Bill and Laura will be in the same faction

I think there's bound to be an unexpected loyalty to each of the three factions from different regulars on the series.

I understand there was to be 10 episodes but that got bumped up to 13.

Lets not forget Caprica is on next month.:thumbs-up:


Happy Thanksgiving!

[parubin]

I will definately check it out when it comes out on dvd !!!

I'm too lazy to commit to hourly tv schedules and too greedy for settling with only one episode a week, especially when they use cliffhangers and other dirty script tricks.

In the after-Soprano era, the tv series that I've found most enjoyable is "The Wire (http://www.hbo.com/thewire/)". Amazing.

This just in:"The next 'Battlestar Galactica (hthttp://www.darkhorizons.com/news09/090105j.phptp://)' TV movie will re-tell the initial story of the mini-series and show, but from the perspective of the Cylons and take advantage of revelations that will come in the upcoming new episodes of the fourth and final season. The movie, entitled 'The Plan', airs in June..."

[ValenciaSon]

So where do we all stand on the season opener which aired last night on the Sci Fi channel. I won't go into specifics as I don't want to spoil it but I am glad the Sci Fif channel has gone HD:thumbs-up:

Thanks, VS, for not going into details - I cancelled my Sky subscription a while back and so won't be seeing any of the new series until it comes out on DVD.

If you are going to discuss the specifics later, could you do me a favour and put a big bold "SPOILER" at the top so as I know not to read it? ;-)

Ta much.

[Cide Hamete Benengeli VII]

Gotta disagree with you there. Dr. Who rules.

But in all fairness, Edward James Olmos is a great actor and the new series, what I've seen of it, is pretty good. I was a fan of the original and found some of the changes annoying, specifically making female characters that were male.

It's definately the best science fiction on TV...

[Cide Hamete Benengeli VII]

I do like the updated look of the robotic cylons though and the fact that some versions can pass for humans. It's been nearly two years since I've watched it, so I'm going to have to go out and buy the DVDs to get caught up.

I recently got hold of a DVD package of the first three seasons of BG still unpacked at home, ready to be seen. So far I haven´t seen a single episode (neither on tv nor on dvd) and basically I don´t know what's it about, but I've heard so many good things (in this forum too) about it from people I trust that I think I'm gonna like it.

The thing is I've got a pretty big backlog of dvds to be seen, tv series and movies (not to mention books that are currently taking up most of my spare time), that I don´t know when will I be able to get at it.

To me the solution is self-evident: re-prioritise your backlog, moving BSG to the top of the list. You'll thank yourself afterwards. ;-)

[parubin]

So say we all.

I take notice of your advice but, to let you know, without counting the films that I still have to watch, the series that I currently have in my dvd-shelf right now are :
* The Shield (watched season 1 - to watch the rest)
* The Wire (watched season 1 - to watch season 2)
* 24 (watched seasons 1 to 5 - currently in the middle of 6th)
* Lost (watched seasons 1 & 2 - to watch 3 & 4).
* Deadwood (watched seasons 1 & 2) - anyone knows when the third and last is coming out on dvd ???
* The West Wing (watched 1 to 4) - to watch 5 to 7.
* BSG (haven´t watched anything) - to watch seasons 1 to 4.

Taking into account that I watch about 5 episodes per week, it's gonna take long to get on with the list, but I'll follow your advice and after I'm done with season 6 of '24' I'll pop in season 1 of BSG.

Talking about tv series, anyone can tell me anything about these three tv series : 'Weeds', 'In Treatment' and 'Mad Men'. Are they any good???

Thanks for the info, VS.

[deecree]

Next weeks episode is going to be good...

[ValenciaSon]

Next weeks episode is going to be good...Will Bill really leave Old Girl?

[ValenciaSon]

Wow, it ended! What can I say so that I won't spoil it for those yet to see it but, wow!:o

[gastephen]

Wow, it ended! What can I say so that I won't spoil it for those yet to see it but, wow!:o

I think it is out here on DVD in June.

[ValenciaSon]

I saw the series finale last night. I also saw the trailer for Caprica, which will first be available on DVD and digital download in April. They also mentioned that The Plan will telecast in the fall. It's the Cylon invasion of the colonies, but from the Cylon perspective.

[gastephen]

All sounds good...

[deecree]

Best series ever.

[ValenciaSon]

Best series ever. So say we all.:thumbs-up:

[deecree]

So say we all.:thumbs-up:

How far do you think Caprica will go story-wise? Do you think it will take us right up to enslavement and revolt, or stop some way before?

[ValenciaSon]

How far do you think Caprica will go story-wise? Do you think it will take us right up to enslavement and revolt, or stop some way before?I hope up until Gaius has that fateful hot date with Caprica.

[deecree]

Just finished the miniseries. Again.

[deecree]

Season one down.

All of this has happened before, and will happen again. I guess they were right.

[ValenciaSon]

Have you seen the series finale yet?

[deecree]

Have you seen the series finale yet?

Yes, are we allowed to talk about it yet? :o

[ValenciaSon]

Yes, are we allowed to talk about it yet? :o I'm not sure, can we, everyone?

[gastephen]

I'm not sure, can we, everyone?

Please don't hold back on my account. But if you are going to discuss it, could you perhaps put a big spoiler alert at the top, or something? Another idea would be to write your comments in white font, which could then be revealed if desired by highlighting the text.

Cheers!

Has anyone else seen Caprica yet?

[deecree]

Has anyone else seen Caprica yet?

I have it, but will watch it back to back with a few others so I can feel more "into it". What did you think?

[ValenciaSon]

Interesting, definitely ties into the BSG universe but it is its own show. I really like Eric Stoltz and Esai Morales.
