Battlestar Galactica

The previews on Friday showed a clip of her saying "I'm a Cylon!" combine that with the events of the second episode and I'm guessing they aren't going to drag it out too far.
Having seen the first 11 episodes now: Be careful with clips that are shown out of context.

I watched the entire miniseries on DVD yesterday to refresh my memory (as I had last saw the miniseries when it first aired in December 2003), and I just finished watching the first two episodes on my TiVo. Very nicely done! :D

And mmm... the new Boomer!

Yes. It's a shame that the new robot cylons aren't shiny any more. That was always so cool.

We only have 2 episodes to go in the UK. It's been great so far!

Storys take a weird twist recently with the religious overtones, rather odd but a very good series. The characters are and storys are working really well backed up by solid acting.

Technically I really like how the Vipers fly in space battles being able to see the directional thrusters in the nose fire before the main burn comes in is cool. Shame there have only been so few battles in the series.

But this show... I really felt for those survivors. The new series (IMHO) really conveys the sense of loss and desperation their situation demands. I think I have a new favorite tv series... and that's not something I declare often.

Yeah they captured this really well in the begining of the series but I think they have let it slip later on. Last weeks episode in the UK had them on a luxury ship, with a massive domed artificial environment with artifical sunlight and a park for holiday guests. Now if they were really in that dire straights as they showed with water rationing in an earlier episode. Wouldn't they either not be watering a park or, turning that habitat over to growing food?
 

They had mentioned that water rationing would have to take place on ships where water recycling was impossible, and the Galactica, where those ships needed to tank off. I'm assuming this luxury liner was one that could handle a long term voyage, since it had facilities like that.

The Galactica itself has a system for transferring water to other ships. If this liner did not have a similar system, I imagine it would be very difficult to transport any helpful amount of water to the other ships, and things would continue as normal. Given the difficulties with food supplies though, I would assume that any ship like this with actual, viable soil aboard will be used as farmland as soon as it can be arranged. With the government still being reorganized, I can see why it would not yet have happened.

Review on BG(the new verison)

Okay, let me just say this, someone said, might be wrong, that this new BG, is better than Farscape or anything else of recent/old scifi shows.

No...it is not better, just different...I watched it 3 three times *33, Water*, and finally saw two-thirds of mini-series opener, missed the last 40 minutes or so. The producer(s) have stated, that they are going to touch subjects, that was either skipped or smoothed over, in other sci-fi shows that dared not fully exploit the subject.

BRAVO!!!!

A friend of mine, who is a hard-core...wait, a vet of sci-fi stuff, was heavily impress, with the outlook of the show, and trust me, it takes a lot, to do that.

For me, I look for the quality, a special niche...did BG 2.0 have it?

Oh yes...in a lot of ways...too much to go over, but just lets say...if these guys do what I'm expecting...and heard, the social voice of humanity, will be once again, heard, through a medium, long quieted.

That was the aim, I believe that has been sought, and it has been found.

But I have one major problem, and it is with Sci Fic Channel...and their track record, in dealing with shows, that are of good quality, and sometimes not giving the respect it deserves. The last statement is self-serving, cause we all know, what the true game is...money.

And for my cousins across the pond(England), I have to say, you have produce some very fine sci-fi shows yourself, so...this a role-reversal, a first I think, that a american-based show, is seen over there, but if not, make the corrections.

Now, the only thing, I pray for and hopefully see...that for one, that the makers of BG 2.0, don't get ahead of themselves, and go stupid, and Sci Fic (if by a miracle) give this show, the respect for the work done, and don't do what it did to FarScape*A reminder, the channel is still on life-support to me*

I await, the further journey of BG 2.0, and oh yes...Friday nite, is SCI FI nite...once again :D.

Not having cable myself, I was wondering if they'll be offering the BSG series in syndication. After all, if it wasn't for syndication, I wouldn't be watching Stargate SG-1 (albeit one season behind the current SCI-FI version) in over-the-air broadcast.

Besides, I'm getting sick of the syndicated Andromeda. If they don't get out of that system they're trapped in before February, I'm petitioning my local TV station to pick up BSG already.

Typically it takes four seasons of a show before it goes to syndication, then it is one season behind. I think SG-1 went to syndication a little sooner, but that may have been because it was originally on Showtime which had an even smaller subscriber base than SciFi channel has.

What is a good Bittorrent site to get these from? I lack cable so while I've seen the mini-series on DVD I can't see the series.
I would, but I can't email you through the boards and you can't receive PMs.

And I can't post these kinda links on the boards.
