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
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...
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.
I really want to see this. It's airing on sci fi in January and I can hardly wait. I'm getting an idea of the storyline, but I'm trying not to spoil myself too much. I hear the space battles are pretty intense? The mini-series was pretty cool...hoping they might re-air before the series starts...maybe around the time of Earthsea.
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!
Earthsea is a miniseries that's coming out in December. Remember the books by Ursala Le Guin? They are some good ones....check this trailer that was just released. It's pretty sweet.
Cool. You don't see a whole lot of stuff out there right now that break from the norm with the unique camera work. Should be interesting. 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.
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.
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.
Well that's encouraging that you say it may be the best sci fi show you've seen in a while. Glad the sci fi channel is getting it over here. I think they've done pretty well with most of their recent stuff. With BSG and the Earthsea miniseries coming up, guess the trend will remain.
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.
