[B]I caught them re-using cg shots of Cylon fighters! (Think: why do the cylons always seem to attack in pairs?) It's the same as the last series! Nothing's changed! The effects are still underfunded! If/when it goes into a series, the same battle will be fought over and over and over and over and over....
Okay, other than that rant, and the unnecessary sex scenes, liking it so far. [/B][/QUOTE]
Ummm... IIRC, the original series [I]didn't[/I] use CG ships, but actual models; that's why a lot of the battle scenes were reused [I]ad nauseam[/I] (sp?) in the original series, as it would've been too expensive to shoot new scenes for each episode.
I do like the fact that they're [I]not[/I] doing a remake of the original show; it [I]really[/I] would've sucked otherwise. Hope the rest of it's at least as good as what was shown last night.
RubberEagleWhat's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
a little addendum to the question how the original series was canceled:
Galactica was produced by Universal FOR CBS(not sure if it was CBS, was some tv station). the show got poor ratings, so CBS canceled the show. turned out that it wasn't the show that caused the poor ratings, but the timeslot. So CBS wanted to getthe show back. but most of the actors were allready doing other things -> Galactica 1980.
Most of the bad things about Galactica'80 were notes from CBS. "make the show more kids friendly" etc...
Well , I've seen the trailer and indeed it does look good , the theme music running through the trailer brought all the memories back ....

You mean emulators? Yes, emulators exist. However, in the case of most modern consoles, they don't work well, if at all. I don't even know if there is one for the xbox.
I'd like to be the first to say I was thoroughly entertained by the mini. I'm mad now that the galactica fanboys who saw it reject it simply because it's different.
What's the verdict on whether this will go to a series or not?

Supposedly Sci Fi has until the end of December to decide to make it into a series. However, with all the time, money, and detail spent making the "pilot", I would assume they would pick it up.

They might not. It does resemble science fiction, after all.

No way they'll pick it up then :)
Unless the "in-the-family" card is played by Universal ;)
But then there's "The French Factor" (Vivendi).
This should be interesting....

i really liked it, it was done very well... CGI was spot on, and neutonean (sp)... always a plus. i hope they get the greenlight for a series. that little twist at the end made me wanna see more ;) anyways, it gets an A from me.
While I still hate shakeycam, I am very much enjoying this episode. There's still some bad acting (primary, IMHO, from the president lady whose name escapes me)

[B]Please tell me they at least kept the main title... [/B][/QUOTE]
Huh?
Remember. this is the PILOT to the mini series. If it gets the greenlight (which I think it will), then they'll redo a lot of things.

I didn't think they could possibly make it any slower, but apparently they can. Just imagine dave in a walker, trying to get to the pod. :D
