Oh yes. That's Boomer, the Cylon babe. Don't get any ideas, TehBroken, she's carrying a human child and is currently attached.

 It's funny, the blonde girl looks more like a robot to me than any of the others, in my humble opinion.

Hehe. That's funny.

  OK, something else to chi your morning there, TehBroken. Here's Tricia Helfer in all her Cylon glory. She's robotic? I think not.

 Okay, you changed my mind. [img style="width: 71px; height: 52px;" src="/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/1.gif[/img]  Even if she's not a robot I could force myself to have a meaningful overnight relationship with her.

... I hope you're joking, right? I guess I'm not a very big sci-fi fan.

i remember the original one in the 80s?? i have yet to see this new updated version. i believe it is filmed in vancouver so you might be able to meet up with the cylons.

Sounds like a good recomendation to me. I've been wanting to download some TV for my ipod and watching good sci-fi would be a perfect fit.

I so worshipped the original series.

I watched the 1st season. It seemed a little melodramtic.

I don't know if that's true, but I'm willing to overlook it.

She sure as hell doesn't look like any neighbor named Ted to me!

Well, the original wasn't too bad but I like this one more. It's got more drama and suspense, keeps me hanging off my seat each episode. Season Two is much more richer than the first one.

At the time the original Battlestar was looked upon as a cheaper version of Star Wars. It's true.

lol. [a href="vny!://www.toonopedia.com/jabbrjaw.htm"]no respect, no respect at all[/a].

I used to watch Battlestar Gallactica religiously as a little kid. I was completely in love with it. Yes, in THAT way     (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Shocked/1.gif)

  Anyway, my favorite aspect was the cylons. They were so very very cool. Remember when Starbuck was trapped on a planet with a marooned cylon??? OMG!

  so when I heard that they went CGI (great pic BTW), it made me frown.

  I've seen a couple episodes...ok, well I've seen pieces of a couple episodes...ok, I walked by the TV once when it was on...

  Anyway, the cyclons are CGI so I don't watch it.

Post by: Lise on Mar 21 06 11:18
Ah no, Legion. I can totally see that. ST was wayyyyyy better than the original BSG.

  I know, I know... CGI replacing our cylons but who cares? The storyline's good. I still love every part of the new BSG.

  I saw the episode that you're talking about, tenkani. That was good. Too bad that's the last we will ever see of Starbuck. They replaced Apollo and Starbuck after that.... went downhill from there.

  BTW, the original Apollo is a guest star in the new BSG.

Ok ok, Lise. I'll have to check it out.

Is the first season out on DVD yet?
Title: Re: Battlestar Galatica ROCKS!
Post by: Legion on Mar 21 06 11:25
 I donno if this applies to the first season only but rent it and play a new drinking game with your friends.

take a drink whenever the doctor (who sees the babe) does something crazy and nobody notices. you take one drink for each blank reaction shot from the other characters.  
Title: Re: Battlestar Galatica ROCKS!
Post by: Lise on Mar 21 06 11:26
Yep. I saw it at Best Buy. Check it out.

  I still haven't gotten my act together to see Firefly. Damn. Been meaning to do that for ages. Am currently hook onto FarScape as well, not to mention STG: Atlantis. Too many good sci-fi stuff out there.

Wah???

Ok, I will grab BSG when you grab Firefly!

Oooh that reminds me, on April 1st, a theatre in Santa Cruz is having this special thingy. Starting at midnight, they show Serenity, then they go on to show every single episode of the TV series. So it ends up being like 17 hours for the price of one admission.

  I'm going to try to stay awake for at least 8 hours, but it won't be easy...

 Too true indeed. It was a weekly sci-fi fix for ST fans, who "back in our day" couldn't just rent ST over and over. We had to go to a theater each and every time. Remember when your count of how many times you'd seen ST came with real fanboy bragging rights? It became meaningless after it came out on video.

  I'm not too upsetover CGI Cylons (great pic BTW), isn't everything these days? I think I would notice a dude in a suit more than the seamless CGI they can do nowadays.

They've ended Battlestar Gallatica!!! Waaaahhhhhh!!!!! (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/6.gif) Just wanted to say that. I'll miss the show. Rumors has it that the next season will be the fourth and final (THE HORROR!!!). Three major stars have been revealed to be Cylons. (Totally unexpected)

  And Starbuck isn't dead afterall!!! YIPPEEE!!

  Alrighty. Nerd Out.

I never watched the show. What's it about?
To me the most sci-fi-ish I can get is Smallville and other comic book adaptations.

when is it on?

why are they stopping it when its just getting HUGE.

It's usually on the Sci-Fi channel around 7pm? Can't remember as I usually set my timer on so I can watch the whole thing and forward the commericals.

  The season has just ended and the channel has ordered more episodes next season but it might be the last due to decreasing ratings.

  I guess like Lost and Heroes, it kinda lost out on the major plots. I still think it's a great series, far superior than anything out there (for now) but I kinda also think they should have more battles between Cylons and the human race. Focus less on the drama and emotions of the crew (at least do it for one season) then move on.

  Lee Adama is so damn hot. Watching him in action smokes my gun. *sigh*
Title: Re: Battlestar Galatica ROCKS!
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 27 07 10:21
well I heard rumours about that show that it might move to one of the networks, now that sci-fi is in again Smallville, Lost, Heroes, Supernatural etc.

Sci-Fi is owned by NBC and during the summers they've shown Battlestar on NBC before. So the show might not be dead, yet.
