The New BSG and the Old BSG are like the difference between a John Wayne movie about D-Day, and a Stephen Spielberg movie about D-Day.

They both have their merits, but the decades between the shows do not allow for an apples-to-apples comparison. Even though it's a remake, the two shows are more like father and son, than brothers.

I prefer the regalia of TOS BSG to that of the unimaginative nazi style dress they have now.

The uniforms are OK... I could go either way with them, but this BSG uniform is more military style over the previous origional version, but I will say definetly I like the old BSG music better then this one..

Your account starts with zero karma. For you to have 5 points, that means there were five times when someone decided that what you said (or how you said it) deserved praise.

I'd say 5 praises for only 50 posts is pretty good. (Unless you know you used to have a much bigger total at one time, and it has all vanished?)

The new show is better, but I should clarify:

I thought the old concept was better than the new concept.
I thought the old mythos was better than the new mythos.
I thought the old three-hour pilot episode was better than the new four-hour pilot
Likewise, the first episode of the new regular series was pretty (frak'in) weak.

That's the setup of the show. The execution this time around is worlds better.

There is no denying that the new show has grown into something much, much stronger than the original. Part of this is the fact that there is some good talent (Moore) in charge of this show taking good care of its growth. Part of it is that there are better scripts and a better stable of actors.

I think the biggest part, however, is that the show is now its own entity rather than a remake. (With the exception of retreading the Pegasus story) I think there are some very talented people involved with this production, and they operate much better when they are free to compeltely do their own thing rather than trying to decide how to adapt/revamp something that has been done before. Their own thing, as we've seen for over two years now, is very very good. This is even true with the Pegasus episodes: the best part of that story was the conflict over the "rape" of a Cylon, not the revamped, darker butting of heads between Adama and Cain.

(This could be a good lesson for all TV and movie execs: Grant more freedom for your people to do original work please, and stop trying to force them to redo what worked last year.)

By the way, did anyone else catch the use of the original BSG music when the reporter broadcast to the fleet her special on "Life aboard Galactica"? I thought that was nicely done.

Actually, I think the old theme for the show is sort of the national anthem for the Colonies this time around.

It has been used twice that I can recall, but I think the other time was the funeral for the dead during the mini-series.

Yea I did notice that when I saw it.. nicely done indeed

.. I dont remember it during the mini-series though.. It could be just because it was a while ago last time I saw the mini-series *sigh*

Did the band play it at the "supposed" decomissioning of Galactica in the pilot?? -- think maybe it was there, need to check the dvd

Hexx · « **Reply #34 on:** October 12, 2006, 03:30:27 pm »

Yeah it was played during the fly by during the first episode. Then done with teh whistling guy during Final Cut .
Thought I remember it being used one more time, but can't remember when.

Icehawk · « **Reply #35 on:** October 12, 2006, 05:13:53 pm »

oh and btw scipio thanks about the explaination i dont usually follow the karma thing to close

The original BSG theme I do believe is the National Anthem of the Colonies...which is why it's been used in many, many episodes to date.

Another great use of something from the original series has been Tom Zarek. Damn but Richard Hatch has been delightful in that role, much better than he did as Apollo. What's really sad is they've offered similar type roles to all the original cast...nothing like their original roles, something that would help them grow as an actor as well as be instrumental to the show, but most have refused. Hell Dirk Benedict was offered the role of the Cylon God and turned it down for the Season one finale.
