Battlestar Galactica: The Official Thread

[Erik Pasternak]

We have 17 threads regarding Battlestar Galactica, but they are all question or news threads. So, therefore, I decided on this, the official Battlestar Galactica disscusion thread. The show premeires tonight (well, in the U.S.) on Sci-Fi.

Hopefully it will be just as good as the mini-series. It doesn't start on Australian TV until later this year, but atleast we know that it will be on Network Ten sometime this year.

Well....it is UK based...and we are US....US THREAD IS BETTER!!!!

Heh. Now go back to watching the lowdown! Trica Hefern is on!

You know what, it should. I did a search for "Battlestar Galactica," and since the title in that thread is spelled wrong, it didn't come up in the search. I'll let a mod decide what to do.

About 15 minutes in '33' and did anyone else notice the re-use of some of the mini series scenes?

1. The combat landing
2. Galactica's jump (minus the ion storm background)
3. The engagement with the cylon raiders

They changed the title sequence and music from the versions shown on SkyOne.

Watching the BattleStar Galactica Premiere as of this posting right now. It's turning out to be a great series. Friday nights on SciFi are gonna kick some killer butt this year! (FYI: SG-1, SG-Atlantis and BSG are airing Friday nights on SCiFi on fridays. How cool is that? I can actually stay up and see everything).

As for those not being able to see BattleStar Galactica yet (due to local TV schedules), you will not be disappointed. Good characters and a good developing plot.

I have to say, I was thouroughly impressed. Both stories were great. Also, Grace Parker's portrayl of this 'What the hell is wrong with me?' charcter, was excellent. Rewatch the last raptor scene if you want to see this.

Man.....great series!

Really, really, excellent so far. Great writing, strong character development, outstanding production values. Can't wait to see more.

I thought both episodes were excellent. This is a gritty series, I really feel the sense of desperation in the band of colonists on the run. Lots of neat twists.

Impressed with the cast and the characterizations so far. Lots of depth to these characters. I agree that Grace Park is doing a wonderful job in her multiple roles.

I really liked this show. Commander Adama is an awesome character. The president gets on my nervse though.

I love Battlestar Galactica because of the deep emotions involved. There are so many emotions running around and they seem so real that it forces the reader into a state of aweness.

If only Stargate can do this with Replicarter....

[yaaayoubetcha]

First two eps were great....

as stated above....friday nights are gonna rock!
definately have to get a replaytv now so i never miss a new ep.

I didn't knotice that but it wouldn't suprise me, I bet they'll do it more to.
Might be expensive.

Yay! Another reason to look forward to Fridays! I'm so glad they made this into a series, my dad even likes it and he was a major fan of the original. So much for the "fans of the original won't like this show"
