Thanks to a friend in England I just finished watching the single best hour of television to ever air.  Episode 13 kicks the pants off of any Star Trek episode ever.  It kicks butt over every other show I've ever seen.  It is that good, and it is worth every second watching the episodes leading up to this season ending.

There MUST be more.

IIRC, a second season has already been authorized.

After the ending of this season, IT HAS TO CONTINUE!!!!!

So who plays Commander of the Pegasus then? ;)

George Takei



You guys are missing the obvious:  Kate Mulgrew gets to play Commander Kane.

No problem. I'll just start a thread on the original series which I am in the process of watching on DVD.  Feels strange to call something besides Star Trek "the original series".

I would say that they needed better scripts but they had the essence of a good series.

The original Battlestar Galactica series was good.. the follow up series called Battlestar 1980 suxed pretty bad.. It supposedly takes place when Boxie grows up and they have found earth... It got cancelled in mid season i think...

And for those of you who are either reading scripts or have privy to episodes nearing the 2nd season.. where I am at, they have only aired the pilot and the first 3 episodes.. the 4th episode comes on tomorrow night, so please kill the spoilers or make a new thread with a spoilers labeling.. your ruining the series for me.. I enjoy the new BSG, but I also Imagine the old ships.. the new one's are OTT in design IMHO.. i only came into this thread because it stated episodes of 33 and Water which have been shown here...

Thanks

I agree with Toasty on this. I have not seen all of the episodes and would like to watch them in order when they come on.

 I truly love to discuss the shows i have seen, :) but i don't want them ruined for me as well :(

I've only seen parts of a few episodes from Battlestar 1980.  Despite the reputation I would like to see the rest.

The last episode of Battlestar 1980 is the one where Adama recants Starbucks disappearance from the Galactica to the teenage doctor super genious... The one where Starbuck befriends a Cylon.

Well no flying children, but the flying bikes were OTT.. but I agree.. poor scripting, over used clips from the original series, poor acting, but the most annoying is how Adama takes orders from the teenager instead of being strong like in the original series.

 Remember the one where they landed the children on Earth ,and they found out the gravity was lighter. So all the kids start jumping around, almost flying, singing that inane song? :P :P :P :P

Yeah.. when they were planting that farm.. their super jump.. lol.. totally stupid.. and how the kids were suppose to be so smart and being on earth for a while.. but each situation showing how stupid they really were.. they only had book smarts.. but they supposedly had high IQ's, so you think they would pick up on things quickly.. lol.. anyhow another proven poor plot point.

Apollo either retired or died.. can't remember clearly.. supposedly Battlestar 1980 took place 20 years after the original series ended.. They stated at the beginning of the first episode of that series what happened to him.. IIRC I think he died. In Battlestar 1980, the guy with the feathered dirty blond hair is Boxie, Apollo's adopted son from the Original series.

Yes, there was the 1978-79 series of 28 episodes for the original series, then CBS picked up the series with an extremely low budget in 1980 and called it Battlestar 1980.. Still had Loren Greene as Adama, but a totally new cast and they were at Earth.. it totally sucked.. the only decent episode is the last episode of Battlestar 1980 where Starbuck's disappearance tale is played out by Dirk Benidict while Adama narrate it to the "brain child from the stars" who is now the smartest of all the human race according to the series.. as stated before.. the 1980's continuation really sucked.. it basically was intended to be a continuation, but most Battlestar Galactica fans found it to be soooooo bad that is has been ignored almost entirely by any fan site and even to the extent of only having a foot note on Official sites... basically it is treated sort of like Enterprise series to the original Trek Timeline... It never happened... Battlestar 1980 is blasphemy to the church of Battlestar Galactica.
