Battlestar Galactica

I've only caught the odd ep on Sky 3, but what I've seen is fucking ace - the space sequences (all external shots in silence for example) are superb and it's good to see a genuine piece of sci-fi - where questions about today's society are posed and examined in an imagined future/alt tech universe - are addressed (the whole enemy within theme, the fact that the Cylons were created as a servant tool etc, the constant echoes of the current global situation)...

Am happy that S1 is now available for £20 tho...

I've seen two episodes and don't really know what's going on e.g. why is that blonde woman inside that man's head?

Piece of advice to anyone remotely interested in this: Watch The Pilot Episodes.

It helps set the scene…

Doesn't quite answer the above question but there you go...:D

Even better is the fact that the Cylons believe in God whereas the humans believe pretty much the greek gods.

Other good things include - no muffet - Boomer - valari - grace park and no muffets.
 
I was utterly cynical about this as the original was, to put it mildly, shite. It was fun camp shite but it was still shite. I just didn't want to sit down and watch another bland revamp of a old SF concept.

Then i was worn down and borrowed the mini-series and fuck me, i loved the thing. The acting and script are miles above most SF made on tv, the effects don't dominate and there's a lovely blurring of just who is in the 'right' in the series. Characters develop and move on and there's enough modern analogies for people to pick up on.

It's a great series and certainly worth picking up. The mini-series is a fiver in Virgin and S1 is about 20 quid.

Incindently, Star Trek-Voyager was apparently originally conceived to be along the lines of BG. Sadly Voyager just ended up being crap and having a Borg with big tits as it's big selling point.

Grace Park is extraordinarily pretty. :) But we'd better not turn this into another of those threads full of pics from her Maxim shoot. That would be Bad. And Wrong.

Can't watch it due to the presence of an obnoxious cunt we were at uni with in one of the leading roles. :rolleyes:

No one would be interested in pictures of Boomer in lingerie.

Seen him in the showers then ? ;)

Actually that fits quite well, as his character is a weaselly, opportunistic sleazeball and coward who is responsible for genocide. Of the leads he is by far the least likable character.

:D Definitely type cast. Is he also humongously egotistical and pathetically lecherous by any chance?
 
BSG is great, very well put together ... now if every fucker can stop interupting my like some kind of curse i might actually get to see more than one episode in succession...

I don't know about you but I don't get my nob out for anything that doesn't involve naked ladies.



I'm not an SF geek but I do find grace park easy on the eye. Not keen on the other battle girls.

I quite liked golfing grace park too. I think its more of a thing for ladies of the orient.

My current favourite tv show by miles. I'm 2/3 through the second series on DVD, it keeps getting better and better. And Kandyse McClure (Dualla) has got to be one of the most gorgeous women in the world. :)
