With the new Battlestar Galactica set to run in January on SciFi

[slick230]

I was a young whippersnapper then, but I still remember watching the show at my cousins' house. Maybe it was cheesy back then, too, but being so young I thought it was pretty cool. Especially after Star Wars came out. It was like I could ALMOST watch Star Wars on TV, but with different people and a different story. Star Wars-Lite, it was.

Of course, now it's just laughable, but still mildy entertaining.

I hope the new series is good.

I was 11 when the original show debuted and you couldn't pull me away from it with a crowbar. 🙂

It's amazing how much corniness appeals to 11 year olds. 😀

 

[Anubis]

As long as they don't make Apollo a dog. LoL!

I was 8 when the series aired, and 10 when the Galactica 1980 miniseries aired. I loved it. Then again... I was 10. I've got Battlestar Galactica - The Complete Epic Series in my Amazon.com Wish List. 🙂

 

[Falloutboy]

its pretty good so far.....it still has the woundering in space with no purpose feel but I'll give them to the end of the season to fix that

the mini sereies/pilot is out on dvd now.. well in a few days

 

[CocoMunkee]

Remember when the pilot episode ran in theatres in sensurround? Crazy...btw, i didn't like Olmos as Adama; but I did like that cylon babe😛

Just finished watching the first 9 episodes (thank you mispelled exploding star)

OMFG, this series is the BEST SCI-FI YOU WILL EVER WATCH. (A title previous held by Babylon 5 and/or Stargate SG-1, depending on the episode)

It's consistently good, and consistently logical. I've not seen a series in a very, VERY long time try to get so much right with the military. They used the right terminology, right command structure, right tactics, etc. I mean, it's like the Galactica is a real, live, honest-to-gods warship. You've not seen anything like this in SciFi to date, trust me. Heck, I still get tingly every time a fighter coming in for a trap is radioed to "Port bay, hands on approach. Check your screen. Call the ball." replied with "Galactica, this is xxx, I have the ball". OMFG. Awesomeness. Just little details they get right that blow your mind to see done correctly.

The stories tend to make sense, too. And while the Cylons have made virtually no fleet appearance after the (impressive) first episode, the episodes still manage edge-of-your-seat tension throughout.

The new series is seriously simply the best SciFi that has ever aired.

Been downloading them on bittorrent. Up to episode 4 now...and it is a great show from what I have seen so far
