Jadaki 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I just decided to start watching, purely on your reccomendations. I don't know where I saw them. Maybe you posted this originally in Off-Topic or something, not sure. But I'm just about done with the miniseries (thankyou brvheart and your awesomest website ever). It's okay so far, but I'm not hooked or anything. I'm hoping it gets better during the "first season"WangIt does, I thought the Miniseries was decent but a bit slow. The action picks up during the first season. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 in a few weeks is an episode called THE EYE OF JUPITER. I think that's gonna be a good one...Ah, I love being right. Definitely back on track with last week's episode. I just decided to start watching, purely on your reccomendations. I don't know where I saw them.

I actually didn't watch it until I'd seen a few of the regular episodes first, and decided that I absolutely loved the show. When I went back and watched the miniseries it was kinda like doing homework. Watch the first regular episode of the first season, titled "33," and I think you'll see how goddam amazing the show is.

Well acted, well-written. Well-developed characters. I'll definitely watch the entire franchise on Christmas Day while my family is at the family Christmas, and I'm staying home, out of hate.Wang Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 An interview with the show creator including some hints at whats to come in the second half of the season.Link SPOILER (sort of):I think that either Lee's wife Dualla (sp?) or Starbuck's hubby (or both, I guess) will be the characters who die, opening up the chance for Lee and Starbuck to be together. Kinda obvious I guess, but all of the actual "main" characters are too important to the show to die. I guess Tigh could kick the bucket, or the chief, but I don't think either of the Adamas, Roslin, Starbuck, Gaius, etc will be dying anytime soon. Kind of unrelated - I hope Gaius gets more screentime in the 2nd half of the season than he has in the last few episodes. I think he's easily the most interesting character.

I think he's easily the most interesting character.I was thinking along the same lines as you are as far as whole will die, but now I am starting to think thats the obvious plotline and they will be more creative.As far as Baltar, I'm actually a little tired of him. I'd almost be fine if the Cylons handed him over and he got airlocked. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Sharon is definitely one sexy, sexy robot. And so is #6 obviously....I might just have to get that Playboy. And also, I didn't listen to that Starbuck interview yet (doing like 4 things at once already), but from what I can tell she's one of the most popular characters, I don't think they'll kill her unless the series is ending.

I wonder if they plan to deviate from that. Link to post Share on other sites

snooptoddd 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 So if I am a major Star Trek: The Next Generation fan, would I like this show? Mind you, I couldn't care less about the rest of the Star Trek shows (Enterprise was okay, but forgetable) ... I'm thinking about Netflixing the first season and need a little convincing.

I'm thinking about Netflixing the first season and need a little convincing.I liked TNG, and it has absolutely nothing on BSG. Start with the Miniseries, it's a little slow but the back story is pretty mandatory. Once you get into season 1 you will see it's one of the best sci-fi shows ever done. You don't get the ridiculous technobabble of Star Trek, and there is an overall plot that carries through to each episode where that wasn't really done in the Star Trek series (with the exception of the later DS9 stuff).

I'm thinking about Netflixing the first season and need a little convincing.I like star trek a bit, and like you, only TNG. After watching Battlestar Galactica the last couple years, Star Trek TNG episodes just seems kinda lame and silly. Trust me, it's soooooooo much better than star trek. If you're a Next Generation fan, you will completely love this show. Link to post Share on other sites

Mind you, I couldn't care less about the rest of the Star Trek shows (Enterprise was okay, but forgetable) ...Well, the executive producer (and more or less creator of the new Galactica series) also was a writer and producer for TNG (after season 3), so there is some connection. The series themselves don't have that much in common though, the future in BSG is much "dirtier" and more realistic in a way. And the stories are extremely well written, the characters are very believable - they are desperate people with flaws. They aren't perfect, sometimes they are heroic, sometimes not, they make mistakes and have pay for them.If you have any interest in sci-fi , you have to watch it, although comparing BSG to TNG is unfair to both series in my opinion.

Jadaki 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 comparing BSG to TNG is unfair to both series in my opinion.In a way yea... the almost seem made for two different audiences though sci-fi fans probably would enjoy both for different reasons. BSG is just much more gritty and realistic (as far as sci-fi goes) and imo has better character development than ST ever had. Link to post Share on other sites
