Battlestar Galactica

Anyone into this? I have just watched the mini series on DVD and really enjoyed it, but then i loved the orginal (I have sat in the orginal Cylon spaceship used in the 80's show )

Not sure why they call it a 'mini series', as its a 3 hour long pilot movie. Anyway, got season one on order. Is it worth it?

[Stoo]

It's called a mini-series because it was shown as three separate episodes when it first aired

The series rocks

Yes the first series was very good but the second series is fantastic.

I agree, the second series is awesome, watching it as it airs over here on sky one. I especially liked this weeks episode with the news report at the end of the episode using the original series theme tune.

Its ace, 2nd series gets pretty dark in places, not sure where there going with it now tho, Cylon peace offering, maybe its been cancelled in the states and there winding the story up?

Anyone that saw the original think that maybe the Cylon childs that bloody annoying know it all blonde kid from TOS?

[Kaos_Engine]

That was from the terrible 2nd series in the 80s when most of the original cast had gone on to other things wasnt it. The only good thing about Dr Zee as I think he was called was the episode explaining where he came from that had Starbuck in it.

After this weeks episode we now know what another cylon looks like.
I think that makes 5 we know

sharon
blonde
man
doctor
reporter

who are the others?

[[GSV]Trig]

How easy would it of been for Starbuck or Apollo to look into the empty shells when they either did the recon or nuked the resurection ship lol...

There are 12 models but is the "bullet head" one of those 12 or are there 12 human ones?

[Stoo]

12 human models iirc

[[GSV]Trig]

Well we know 7 so far then...

[[GSV]Trig]

1) Sharon Valerii (Grace Park)
2) Aaron Doral (Matthew Bennett)
3) Leoben Conoy (Callum Keith Rennie)
4) Doc Simon (Rick Worthy)
5) D’Anna Biers (Lucy Lawless)
6) Number Six (Tricia Helfer)
7) Wouldnt want to spoil it for you guys

Always liked the BG refference in the A-Team credits...

[alterion]

yes but its debatable wether the non human models count as one of the twelve? i guess not because thats 5? more we'ed have to add. I have the full first sries and mini on DVD.. it won the time best show of the year for a good reason. The second series keeps getting better and better. I don;t think sky one have done the best job of promoting the series in the UK though.
BTW there is an sudio commentary podcasts from the producers availible from the US sci-fi website

[[GSV]Trig]

Anyone worked out number 7 yet?

[teachmech]

Tell us then.

[[GSV]Trig]

I'll tell ppl that pm me, dont really wanna drop it into the thread incase it upsets someoen...
