Topic: galactica 2003

[Don Karnage]

i have see the 2 part of galactica 2003 and find a lots of stupid thing, 1st there still wear glass, (with there level of technologie is stupid), the have a suite like when you work in a office (what no uniform?), there still have wire phone to comunicate (weir in tos it was the 23th century and have advance comunication device), just wondering if there ealry 21th century earth man on these ship or did the never discover new technologie and new clothing or what, for a civilization so advance the seem to have privitive technologie and dressing, just wonder who wright the storie and if he remember that its not early 21th century earth but a civilization that have a verry advance space technologie compare to us.

bad bad bad movie, galactica 1980 was a lot bether compare to galactica 2003.

sad that the mess it up like that.

Man this another one of those Things I wish I could forget. I never saw the show, But I remember the Uproar It caused on the old boards.

From what I understand, It will be a new Mini-Series though.

There is a reason for some of th lack of technology used. In this show, the Cylons are machines. In the past, I guess, they have broken into the colonials computer systems and created havoc. A wireless network, or just wireless connumicaions, is easier rto tap into as it is being broacast. If it over a wire, the actual wire has to be tapped. This is the same reason why there are little to no interlinked computer networks. If one network is compromised then it may be possible to infect others connected to it. Now, as for the clothes, glasses and general level of weapon technology, I hve to agree. I mean come on. Shooting projectile weapons at that stage is just stupid. Plus there are payload questions. The size of the projectiles shown plus the number used at the end of the show just don't add up. How can there be that much space on board a ship of the galatica's size. let alone the size of a viper.

Although I didnt really like 2003, I wouldn't go so far as to say tht 1980 was better. Shudder...

Huh? 

Yeah jualdeaux,

The contemporary look (suits, names,  glasses, etc.) was chosen by the producers to given their civilization a "more identifiable feel". This is in direct contrast to most SciFi that envisions some futuristic clothing (silver catsuits?), or the Egyptian motif of the original BSG. The removal of much of the Egyptian-Mormon-Lost Tribe mythology is one reason some fans of the original really, really, REALLY hate the remake.

Projectile weapons?
I kinda liked it.
In space, they would be quite nasty: big kinetic damage on impact, no range power loss or diffusion.
Consider that in a Shuttle mission a few years back, the impact of a fleck of paint on a window caused a nice, bullet-like impact.
Any bigger, it would have cut right through.....

As for ammo use and storage: How does it differ from a modern aircraft carrier AA battery?
That was probably the look they were going for...

[Sochin]

As regarding the technology of the Galactica there is a reason for it. The Cylons could manipulate advanced technology, in the previous war with the cylons it was found that inferior tech could not be maniplated therefore negating a major tactical advantage. It was explained in the movie.

Well, unless they are going to pull a Voyager and have a never ending armoury, they are going to run out very fast. Remember, there isn't any place making new/more stuff for them.

[Don Karnage]

the also the medical stuff, there seem to have no medical bay no doctor and no medical equipment beside primitive bandage to there standart, no thermal regeneration (skin repair) no nothing, also there have news crew in the ship because its the last one and becoming a Museum, and the funeral ceremonies remind me of mix military and Christianise Berk what the ***** is wrong With them, did the look recently to the original galactica or just a vague memory of it, also the viper Are lunch how, there no lunch pad on it like the original, also the diplomatic post build and no one no defence nothing on it, it get blow up by a big ship and no one see it?, are the sleeping or just Ben naive??, if the enemy disappear for 40 years you think its a good sign?, remember there machine and the can build a very big army in no time More that human can, and no spying no nothing on the space no patrol no out post?, our technologies is primitive compare to them but we have listing post patrol radar so we can see what's happening on the planet so you thing the should have a warning?. anyway its a wast of air space to show that, it seem worst that startrek enterprise.

I'm curious how true they stick to this.
Voyager made a big deal initially about being "without supplies", then quickly forgot about it so we could see photons "a-blazing" every episode.

Supposedly, the emphasis with the reimagined BSG is how desperate things are. From what I hear, the first few episodes occur days after the escape, and focus on water shortages, etc. I think they hope to build drama and tension not by fighting Cylons every week with big space battles, but by having humanity evade because they CAN'T AFFORD to spew ammo everywhere.

We'll see.
If the fansite www.galactica2003.net is to be believed, the reimagined ragtag fleet has a foundry ship:
The Hephaestus is a foundry ship used for producing castings in molten metal for the RagTag Fleet. It is capable of manufacturing Vipers and Viper parts for the Galactica if needed.

Will they ever come out with this for DVD.  I never was able to see the 2003 release.  Also will they ever release the 1980 ones.  I got the season for the original and liked it but have been unable to see the other two.

[Don Karnage]

well i can send them to you if ya want, i got them with bearshare and if ya want just look for galactica and battlestar galactica, you can find also episode of the original serie, m trying to get the 2003 in good condition so i can see it bether and the 2th part of the 1980 first episode.

free free free ahhhhahahhahahaha 

well i will try to buy the serie and i have the movie and i still like it, bether that the cheap imitation from 2003. (not hard to do)

[Clark Kent]

I didn't get to critiquing the tech in the new mini series because I wasn't able to get past the glaring character flaws and plot issues.  All in all, it was put together very badly, and wasn't worth watching.  I personally think that the 1980 version was much better, even if you don't take into consideration the age of the original.
Missiles in space, believable, even in the vast future, though not particularly imaginative, and not as believable as something more advanced.  Low tech networking on the ship: also believable, and very plausible given their explanation.  lack of other more advanced tech is questionable at best.
Also something I didn't like: the whole lying thing about going to "Earth."  The idea of roaming around the galaxy indefinately is simply stupid.  Terrible plan.  Better plan: egress from Cylon controlled space toward an area known to not be controlled by them and find a colonizable planet.  Rebuild secretly and strike back.  After all, one would have to be a complete idiot, certifiable IQ under 40 to actually think that this machine race that had built and planned and schemed for decades to wipe out the entire human race would actually let an entire fleet go without relentless pursuit.  Also, the idea that they could indefinately avoid pursuit is ridiculous- the cylons would have found a way.  I hate to say it, but their retreat would have to be more of a tactical withdrawal.  Even the most pacifistic person would be a complete fool to think that war could be avoided.  In fact, a person like that would be nothing but a liability, and would have to be eliminated from the decision making processes (the school teacher president). 
I really disliked that whoe thing, and am dissappointed that they are actually making a series out of it.  Also, I hated Starbuck.  They original was annoying enough that they canned him in the middle of the series, and this one is ten times worse.  Lose the bitch.

What is bearshare?

I'm not certain the size of my account, I can have up to 100mb of storage probably...how big would it be?  Anysites with sizeable chunks that I could preview the 2003 edition with?

[Don Karnage]

bearshare is like zazaa but without the spyware and popup, its free and easy to use.

the only limits is whit your isp, for me i have extrem high speed (modem cable) and no montly limits to upload or download.

I haven't seen Galactica 2003 and it's pretty safe to say that:

NOTHING could suck as bad as Galactica 1980 did.

Even the first season of Voyager and Deep Space Nine were better then Galactica 1980.

Ahem....

Star Wars Holiday Special.

'Nuff said.

[Mentat Jon]

Galactica 2003 is mere ok, compaired to the rest of the crap thats on TV, with that being said, I shall only say this:



Starbuck is a GUY, not a girl.


thank you and goodnight!

[Core]

IMO the hole thing is happening prior to the emergence of civilisation on Tera so they will probably stumble upon the sol sector and be amassed that their is a habitable planet in the system and its inhabited by humanoid pre iron age civilisation and steel there making it earth prior to that event they will discover the remains of the rouge colony ship in the ageist sector and find their final destination then begin to rebuild or something i


thats my first impression and future speculation on the subject but hell they can allways make it present day and let the Terran's kick the hell out of their ancestors right

BearShare DOES have spyware, it's just far less hostile than the Kazaa spyware.  It installs Weathercast and Save.exe.

After installing Bearshare, do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and go to the task list.  End Task for both Save.exe and Weather.  Then delete the folders from Program Files folder on the C: drive.  If you're really creative, delete the entries from the registry, too.

And get rid of Kazaa, would'ya?  I've  cleaned at least a dozen computer this year that were infested with spyware that started with Kazaa....  I actually suspect it may invite random spyware into your computer....

Suspect? I know it does. KazAa puts some nasty sh*t on your computer, And some of it downloads other spyware trojans and browser hijackers.

Friends don't let friends use KazAa....

[Don Karnage]

there a file in kazaa that make the spyware but if you remove it kazaa stop working, but there a file that give falsesignal to kazaa and make it work.

for bearshare well the weathercast is usefull and just say no the save, my firewall prevent that for accessing the net.

[Core]

same here

[Don Karnage]

i just finish viewing the 1st part of galactica 2003 and found a lot of sh*t in it, the use nuclear weapons, the old viper have old indicator like you will find on a ww2 fighter, the galactica have no defence system, and no visual communication system, for a civilization so advance the seem to have old technologies compare to us.

very bad movie and the worst is commander Addams will not take order from the president of the 12 colonies, yo she's your boss like it or not you must obey her command or face Court martial.

on a 1 to 10 i give battlestar galactica 2003 a 9, 1 is very good and 10 very bad.
