Battlestar Galactica

I watch it on Sky and i think the show is really good and **different**!!!

I like different!

I think the whole cylons as humans thing is ok, but it has really good drama and it is not all about been in space and on the run. Its more about been a survior, and staying alive. I like it

Am i alone in my liking of this show?

Much as i hate to admit this - I've been watching this new "re-imagining" of BSG and it's oddly good.

Dark, gritty and bleak bleak bleak... not what I expected at all... I'm not "hooked" or a fan: but I'm tuning in every week and enjoying the hell out of it.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that we are getting it in the Uk before the USA. Makes a nice change...

Seen the ads for it, and I want to see it, it looks brilliant.

A cross between Star Wars and Stargate SG1, on first appearances, it's got my attention already.

its good, but it is a bit early to be hucked on it, just yet. the storys are taking shape and it has a few good ideas.

its not so much about been in space as you would exspect. it kind of has the same sence of humor as stargate, but it needs to establish the characters before it can really get into eveyrthing.

the whole show is really 'rough'. there is alot of steady-cam and handy-cam shooting. The battle scenes are good, but it has some decent acting in it as well!

I LOVED the bsg miniseries. So, I'm really looking forward to seeing this. I think the cross b/w star wars and star gate is fair.

Scifi's really hitting this stuff on the money. Looks like Earthsea's going to be incredible as well.

whats this earthsea that everyone is talking about?

I hear the camera work is kinda unique in BSG. I'm digging that. Can't wait to see it.

yeah the camera work is like constantyl moving and 'rough', gives the show a good look!

did you check out that Earthsea stuff?

i havent seen the orginal season, but its in hmv for like £25 for the whole season i might buy it just to see what its like.

yeah i did check out the earthsea stuff, it looks good and its got loads of decent actors in it!

Earthsea looks great -- not only is it loaded w/ A class actors but it doesn't look like sci fi spared an expense to make this.

I have my calender marked (literally) to see this...

Any idea where I can find a clip or two of either of the first two eps of Battlestar? I'm not trying to give myself too much, but I wouldn't mind seeing a little sneak peak.

Did you ever see old episodes of the original from the 70s? I haven't, but just curious how they compare to the new one.

The old BSG was beyond crappy. It's almost unwatchable. The new BSG is done in an almost documentary style way with lots of long takes and unsteady camera work.

Warning: Its not action - packed, it's all about character and pressure. No background music, lots of drama. Its getting better and better. Much as it pains me to say so I think it's the best sci-fi Tv show Ive seen in years.

Holy cow, this show really exceeded my expectations.

You can tell the budget is a bit, erm, "budgetty", but the show itself is very good. Brilliant characters, cool story.

I havent' heard BSG described as a documentary. That's interesting. Can't wait to check it out. BTW, how do you like the character change of Starbuck?

i think its just going to turn into a jack/sam thing like in stargate, between her and apollo. cos they are both in the milatry and they are not meant to have relationships with their officers.

How much of the ship have you seen in the first 4 eps? Just wondering how that looks in the new series.

very little of the actually ship from the extrior, its alot more about the people inside the ship. but looks alright basically.
