Battlestar Galactica TV show

You know...at the risk of being a pain, maybe ST could be discussed in a Star Trek thread? I can split it off if you like?

LOL,how the hell did we get from BSG to ST (again)

[Jan]

Tsk, tsk, Jal...we must use our powers for good!

Back to the subject of the new, miraculous, compelling, and eminently entertaing Battlestar Galactica. I've yet to catch the season closer, but I've got the beer ready for the Friday night rerun. I can't wait. To be honest this is the first time in my personal history of fandom that there is a NEW series that keeps me breathless until the next episode. Sure there was Doctor Who and Blake's 7 in the eighties on Georgia Public TV, but they had already run their course. I missed the boat on B5 and had to catch up with the DVDs. Like the Hobbits said in Return of the King as Aragorn unfurled the Tree of Gondor on the black ships of the Corsairs, "Help that is unlooked for is often the best kind". Who would have thought that Battlestar Galactica, one of the biggest stinkburgers in the history of sci-fi TV, could have been so brilliantly reworked?

Ron Moore, the connecting tie. Once a medocre writer being held back, now blossoming into a wonderfully creative writer, unbound.

Ron Moore wrote for some of the Trek series (DS9 & Voyager iirc), so it will be something that will easily intertwined.

CE: Great minds think alike I guess

More like a writer who displayed how so good he was on DS9 that he got the job on BSG.

That's what started the spiral off the topic in the first place...let us not traverse that road again...or Jan will flog us!

Holy shit.

That's it. That's all I got.

[AaronB]

huh? Got what?

[vacantlook]

Got what?

I think it's that "Holy shit" is the extent of the reaction that Radhill has to the season one finale.

Good point. My reaction was Oh My God! I don't beleive it! But, Holy Shit works too.

Highlight to read:

I have surround headphones (nothing great,but can do the job),usually i dont get scared and very rare when i get jumpy over a bullet shot...well,when she fired at Adama i jumped right of my chair lol ... powerful moment

I recently saw the miniseries and liked it quite a lot. My wife is on a trip to England now, and she just bought the full season of Battlestar Galactica for me while she was in London. When she returns from the trip next week I'm looking forward to having a good time with it.

I'm getting the original series as well, which should be interesting.

Ranger1, that was really unexpected.

Even my husband was dumbfounded and he doesn't even like the show.
