" 33" " Water" new BSG episodes?
« on: January 16, 2005, 12:11:08 pm »
what do you think? I know you all watched!! for myself, it was all good, good writing, good plot, good speical effects, I personally think this is one of the best launches of the Sci- Fi Series in years.

God said to the Welsh: 'I am going to give you this glorious land of lakes and mountains.' So where's the catch, asked the Welsh? 'Wait until you see the neighbours,' replied God.

It was alright, still don't like the series as a whole, though those two first episodes are definately better than that terrible mini series.  What bothers me the most is the fact that the creators want the show to be nothing like the original, yet they insist on the same ship name, series name, character names, etc etc etc.  Seriously, if you want something original, then start out with original concepts, ideas, plots, names etc etc etc.
Still hate starbuck, this one even more than the original.  What a hodiferous hobag.  And one thing that has stayed the same, I realize: Boomer- token character in the 70's, nd token character now.  Still, she is hot hot hot, and worth watching just because of that.

It's supposed to read "BSG" as in the new Battlestar Galactica show.

sorry for the typo

BSG = BATTLESTAR GALATICA.

and its damn good, I ever dare say, Firefly good it they do it right, might give Entprise a run for its money as best American sci-fi

( and before you stargate guys get on me, I tried to watch it, it didnt grab me, im VERY picky about my TV programs)

Stargate has an ongoing story.  It makes it a little harder to jump in just any time or to see episodes out of order.  Past events affect the future, injuries or damage last beyond the episode.   Babylon 5 is similar that way, an injured character is still injured in later episodes. 

Enterprise has some of that, but not enough.

yeah, everyting is out of context for me, I watched B5 from the start, I had to wait a year when they started repeating from Season 1, perhaps I may watch it from season one. oneday..

I picked up the boxed DVDs for both Stargate (seasons 1-7) and Babylon 5 and watched them sequentially.  Much easier to follow.

Give it some time, Crim.

Realize that in the time line of the series, they have gone from 12 planets and billions of people to a rag tag fleet, an old understaffed Battlestar, and under 50,000 survivors in less than a week.

It is dark, it is survival mode.  It is much more realistic than the "Carnival Cruise" in space that the original series became.
