The first 2 segments are just SCREAMING at hints towards 911. I highly suggest folks watch it.

Perhaps in part two this evening we will learn that the animosity between Tigh and Starbuck began on the day that they first met. You know -- Tigh looked Starbuck up and down, stared her straight in the eye, and said, "Are you a chick?"

[null and void]

Ummm, That was a quote from liberal classic's post...

[Woahhs]

whoops...sorry. I'm using the little mrs. computer and italics don't show up.

[null and void]

Sure, blame the chick! ;^)

Your right about the wings on the vipers. I forgot that they operate in atmosphere as well. And they did mute the noise. Gravity still bothers me though. They should at least make an attempt to explain it. The amount of power necessary to create such a field would be astronomical. Even theoretical explanations are absurd (creating controlled mini black holes for each ship to establish an Earth like gravity field for example.) It is pretty sad when "2001 a space odeyessy" is still the best movie to accurately represent human space travel and living in space- especially the use of artificial gravity by means of centrifugal force- the only means feasible for at least thousands of years of mimicing an Earth Gravity in space. That would make for some pretty odd looking space craft though and expensive sets for movie production- so I understand the need to blow off the gravity issue with "magic wand" solutions.

From same link:

The idea of making Starbuck a woman was literally one of the first things I thought of, and it was in my original pitch to both the studio and the network.

On paper, the Starbuck character, as originally conceved, was a bit of a cliche, even in the 1970s -- the hotshot who does things his own way, chases women, smokes, gambles, drinks, etc., but then always pulls it together in time for a mission and is the best gall-darn pilot anyone's ever seen.

If you know anything about writers, you know how much they love cliche' [/sarcasm]

[RandallFlagg]

Heh! I'm still trying to make a viable and compatible with today's physics lightsabre. I think I've got it.

Think "Anti-lightning."

[RandallFlagg]

Starbuck was modeled after Han Solo.

[Woahhs]

Well what do you expect? She's the one that's not here!

[mhking]

Sure, blame the chick! ;^)

Why not? The one time Deanna Troi got to pilot the Enterprise ("ST Generations"), she crashed the ship!

[Woahhs]

Starbuck was modeled after Han Solo.

HA! Fat lot you know Mr. Smart-Guy. Starbuck was modeled after Dean Martin!

[RandallFlagg]

When was Dean Martin in a space movie?

[JustAnAmerican]

(sigh), you know this "PC is good" garbage is getting kind of old, guess you missed Moore's assertion that the Original series was Sexist? If Moore had made an entirely different cast, say after the original reign of BSG (Like STNG was to ST) and used different names then the show would have been watchable, but to suggest that a Man is somehow now a Woman is to say the least Idiocy. Sexist is the wanna be liberal's version of Racist.

[Woahhs]

My favorite line of the whole movie was Adama telling Apollo "We're in the middle of a war, and you're taking orders from a school teacher?"

[Woahhs]

When was Dean Martin in a space movie?

Not even gonna bother, walkin' dude...

[mhking]

When was Dean Martin in a space movie?

Didn't owe of the Matt Helm flicks that Dino did have a spaceship plot of some sort?

[RandallFlagg]

Oh, come on! I'm a victim of the public school system. I'm always good for some advancement in my edumacaschion...

[Woahhs]

No one is saying PC is good, but you are justifying an opinion based on secondary information that doesn't quite square with the primary source for those who actually watched the thing.

I don't buy into the classical explainations for the efficacy of Chinese medicine either, but that doesn't mean I refuse to give credit to its benefits and make use of it.

[Woahhs]

Well you could start your remedial work by purchasing the entire "Family Guy" series.

[Paul C. Jesup]

That is not the ending, that was a cliffhanger, it has but been officially comfirmed that the Jim Hansen company is making a 4 Part mini-series to tie up the major loose ends to Season 4 and make it more attractive for syndication.
