Indeed...only eaters of dog poop would do such a thing.

you know what my biggest beef with the new BSG?

Starbuck:

Starbuck's a guy,a charming rouge,a womenizing hard drinking cigar smoking,cylon killing SOB.

im not the biggest cannon freak in the world,but Starbuck being a guy should be one of them.

thats kinda like remaking Starwars and Darth Vaders a women..

now THAT is BSG. SWEETness.. see.. this shows what COULD have been done.. and best of all.. its for a video game. lol.

I'll not watch the show simply because they have targeted the lowest common denominator, they have screwed the premise of the show, and because I hate MTV automatons! Boycott away comrades!

Lepton, I was right.

You are a moron.

Just MHO, but anyone that decides to post like you do is just a "stirrer of thee pot", and that's just plain moronic.

I respect what the original intent was here, and I won't be a Robert about others feelings just because I don't agree with them.

Stop trolling, Lepton.

Maybe I'm being a little too simple with my thought process here. I'll take a look at it and if I like it i'll watch it if I don't I'll turn it off. I'll do this without calling anyone names. Maybe I'm just being silly.

Reptor7 · « **Reply #71 on:** September 19, 2003, 10:06:05 pm »

Perhaps it's just a reflection of the times. Current political views are often thrust into art, stirring the pot and actually creating not wanted attention to the offended side's campaign in respect to producing curiostiy drawing in more viewers. Okay. So I had a few beers.

Are people so afraid of change that they demand sequels instead of a fresh new interpretation of things? Might I point out that even the Star Wars movies were re-made with a new view of things and people loved them.

Lepton: Lorne Green only did the opening title dialogue in half the episodes. Patrick Macnee did the title narration in some of them too. Obviously you were not aware of this. Consider yourself enlightened.

Dogmatix!

Obviously you do not agree with the topic of my thread here, and since you're here anyway, the only reason you could possibly have for being here is to argue with people whom you dissagree with. What a loser. Nobody says they are the authority on what TV shows are crap, we said that we don't like THIS tv show, and we think THIS tv show is crap. And if you dissagree, that's ok. But in that case you have no reason for being here do you? You think this topic is rediculous, you don't like it, yet still you're here? You know, an intelligent person would just ... go away. You don't have to reply to every single thread on this forum you know. Go find something productive to do with your time.

Gah!

The Fools.

So they're dumbing down BSG a thousandfold more than they dumbed down Star Trek with TNG.

Battle Star Galactica is cool.

Cylons are cool.

Starbuck is cool.

That show makes an impression on any generation that watches it. When my kid brother saw the original series for the first time ever in his early teens, (and some 20 years after it first aired) he thought it was excellent. He found himself surprised and entertained.

Blow away all the spectacular packaging from Star Trek and Star Wars (episodes IV - VI at least) and at their core they convey a deep and meaningful message. Like it or not, with Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry was creating "morality plays".

New Series of BSG? If the Cylons aren't their cool metallic selves that would be an unpardonable crime in it's self.

The same stories are told time and time again.

It's not the story, but how you tell it.

Thankfully, being a citizen of the UK, I won't have to worry about boycotting anything for donkey's ages.

We used to get everything first, the latest Start Trek and B-5 episodes (though our government saw fit to censor parts of these episodes it deemed improper for UK viewing - I'm not kidding) but not anymore.

The scourge of corporate television has put an end to that. Pay for Satellite Television or stay in the dark for years.

The second season of Enterprise started for us, on terrestrial television, one week ago today.

Greedy corporate vampires. I suppose in a way, I'm already actively participating in the boycott, as I refuse to subscribe to the Corporate Organ Grinders and pay for the privilege of watching them screw up some of my favourite shows.

Death to Rupert Murdock! Hang him, I say! - but flogg him first.

Everything is ART. Even if the new show is bad I'll still probably want to make models of the ships. It's the new ideas that people can come up with that are more important than tradition or even continuity because they inspire the imagination, which is an important part of our psyche. Btw, you can DL this one I made and stick it into your OP game.

Mentat Jon · « **Reply #79 on:** September 21, 2003, 08:14:35 pm »

no matter what they do with the New BSG I think everyone here who has never agreed with me on anything will agree with this statement:

It will be better than "BattleField Earth"
