So did any1 see Battlestar Galactica?

I don't remember the old series too well so I tuned into tonights pt 1 of 2 and I thought it was very good! The effects were amazing and the missiles and the technology was excellent. Acting ok - need to get to know the characters more. Music was good too!
Surprised no-ones posted a thread about it!
I wish they were doing a whole season.

    I had to use "unofficial channels" to see it. Battlescenes were quite similar to the ones in Crusade (silent guns and bongo drums) and acting in general was a little bit too much dramatized... but basically I liked it.

    I hope the series itself is going to be great (don't we all?).

    I saw it through "unofficial channels" too and I thought it was great. Hmm, now I feel like watching it again.

    I'm looking forward to the series and I hope it turns out well.

    I haven't yet seen Crusade! I did tape them or most but never watched at the time til I seen all of B5 first. And I still got around 8 eps to go til final ep. But I'd seen alot of complaints about the music being bad.

    And I didn't know til I checked online that BG is going to be a series with 13 eps! I hope it won't be long til its shown.

    I wasn't quite so mad on tonights ep though. Thought it was abit daft in places.

    The music in Crusade is different, but I wouldn't say it's bad. It's done by Evan Chen, who did the music on the original pilot.

    It is much better when you watch both parts, at least I thought so anyway.

  • MartianDustMartianDust Elite Ranger
    You mean re-watch both again?! I intend on doing that anyway since I couldn't grasp everything in the 1st ep. Alot was happening. Probably why the 2nd also seemed abit slower.
    Am not so sure about the sexual nature though in this show. I mean was funny in one place when he was seeing her in his head but not sure on the whole whether it spoils it.

    Spoiler: Maybe they could have done without some of those scenes but I think it was the best way for the Cylons to get access to the software and exploit it. By seducing the man who created it means he is much more likely to cooperate than by torturing him, which would probably draw attention to the Cylon agent (I cant remember her name).

  • MartianDustMartianDust Elite Ranger
    Yeah you're probably right. Have to see how the rest goes, whenever. And I don't remember most of their names yet!

    Lol btw I prefer purple!! ;)
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    Now I'm wishing I had kept my unoffical copy. Oh well.

    And GREEN FOREVER! :D

    Aww thats a shame. :)

    Phi I may just do that. Then again I really ought to have a reddy/brown colour to match my nick. ;)
  • MartianDustMartianDust Elite Ranger
    Well I've looked to change font in my profile but can't find it there so I clicked on my profile where the tabs are in each msgs. There I get the user options but alas I get a page that tell me I don't have access cos I'm not an admin. So I don't know if I'm still doing something wrong or not.

    Is [url=http://forums.firstones.com/member.php?s=&action=editprofile]this[/url] the page you're looking for?
  • MartianDustMartianDust Elite Ranger
    Thats where I was looking.
    I tried the coding to change colour of text in the Location field but it didn't work like the signature one has.
    Then I tried the profile tab here when you look at ppl profiles. At bottom of my msg. The user options but couldn't access.

    Anyway I gotta get some food, am starving. :)
    I'll have a look later! And if you let me know whether I can change the text in the location field that'd be great!

    For those looking for 'unofficial' channels, if you have bittorrent, you can get it from [url]http://suprnova.org/[/url] , if you click on 'tv shows' and then on 'battlestar galactica' it'll open a list of possible downloads at the bottom of the page.

    Personally, I was very disappointed with the new battlestar - I didn't care much for the first one either, but this new one seemed very lowest common denominator, and with not all that much to recommend it. The characters didn't appeal to me, and the plight of humanity just wasn't communicated well.

    Compare the 'we've lost' speech in Battlestar to the 'we've lost' president in In The Beginning. One of those brings me to tears every time, and the other... doesn't.

    That said, I'll probably still watch the tv series, but it'll be just for the special effects. :)

    Er, yes you can. You just type in what you want to be in the location field under your name by your posts. Also, as far as I know you can't use vB code in the location, etc fields.

    I don't think you can change the colour of the text...But you can specify your colour allegiance in the "Colour:" field :)

    That is exactly what I found when I was trying, that the vB code didn't work in the location field.

    Yeah I saw that. I don't remember that being there before when I first signed up?!
    But Phi how did you get your coloured text under your AV? And the "Colourful" text above?

    Yes I saw it...and I regret every second of it. Its nothing more than a bastard child of the original.
  • MartianDustMartianDust Elite Ranger
    I'd have to see the original series again. I think I must've seen it towards the end. So can't really comment.
