Topic: Battlestar Galatica

So I know we're all too young to have seen any of these episodes when they originally aired. But I was recently reading an article by one of actors in this series, who compared it to the new series (he was very critical of the new one by the way), and it kinda peaked my interest. I found out that you can actually watch the original series on the interent here:

NBC Vintage Shows

Very similar to the orginal Star Wars and kinda fun to watch. Thought I'd share it with ya'll!

Re: Battlestar Galatica

I liked watching the old ones better and 1 thing that is really different between the old ones and the new ones is that Star Buck was a man in the old ones and in the new ones Star Buck is a woman.

Re: Battlestar Galatica

yeah the guy that wrote the article was actually the man who played the original Starbuck. He commented on the same thing, and how feminized the whole program has become. I watched the first episode of the originals and really liked it. kinda cheesy and real old school sci-fi getups, but still enjoyable.

Also on the old ones they spent most of their time on planets and in the new ones they spend 90% of the time in space. I thing about the new ones is that they have the tech to fly in hyperspace, Build robots and even the Cylons have the ability to die and get down loaded into a new body but neither side has the knowlege or tech to have shields for their ships. I mean I have alway thought that to be alittle strange.

Re: Battlestar Galatica

Someone loaned me some Star Trek fan favorites, with the Borg and Q. The Next Gen are pretty cool, but Voyager was weird. the only character on there that I really liked was the drone Seven of Nine, she was kinda cool. but the new captain really annoyed me.

Re: Battlestar Galatica

I agree and I watched the last episode of the new BattleStar Gallatica and it sucked because the Cylons that looked like humans never ages and can live forever unless they are killed. So there should have shown Cylons still living on Earth but they said that they died of old age just like the real humans. Another thing that made no sence at all is that Star Buck was not really their after she came back and found her body. They made it where she was a "angel" and after they found the real planet Earth she vanished. I give the last episode a 3/10 and the only reason I give it a 3 was because there was some pretty cool fighting sences in it.

Re: Battlestar Galatica

hmmm........yeah, last episodes can be kinda disappointing for some reason. they get weird, like the writers wanna go out witha bang but can't think of anything. so they're like "Lets make the wackiest story possible and see what happens!" lol

Re: Battlestar Galatica

I think they had monkeys writting the ending for Battlestar.

Re: Battlestar Galatica

No, They had the whole story wrote before the first episode was shot.
