Just to give heads up to my fellow freepers who are following the best show on TV and anyone who might be interested in seeing what it is all about, itunes has a 42 minute episode called The story so far up for free.
If you have not seen BSG, I would highly recommend it. In some ways, this is an incredibly political show that presents a conservative viewpoint in a positive light and treats religion with a lot of respect it is also very entertaining.
this is the download link Battlestar galactica the story so far
I agree. When this Battlestar came out.. I was against it being a fan of the orginal.. However, I gave the miniseries a chance... Then I decided to watch the show... I have not missed an episode since them.... Now whenever I watch the classic Battlestar, I can't keep a straight face....
BSG is one of the best sci-fi series ever made.
Fellow fans need to keep hyping the show so that it doesn't get cancelled just as it is getting good like so many other sci-fi series have experienced.
Not just "yes" but yes, PLEASE put me on the ping list!
I don't get Sci-Fi any more so if anyone has any idea where to dl the vids...help a freeper out!
The crew that they have on the current show is rather good, no? The writers have done an excellent job in creating good story lines and making the enemy more than a unidimensional plot element. The story from almost 30 years back was ahead of its time but still amusing in today's context.
I agree.... Like I said I was skeptical, but I love this version of BSG. I like the old one.. Special effects was good, story lines was good (Ship of Lights, Count Iblis, etc...) too..
Its all RDM. Can you imagine if RDM had been in charge of ST instead of Rick Berman.
Who knows, maybe Enterprise would have been decent without the stupid Temporal Cold War....
I never watched Enterprise. ST lost me with Voyager.
I couldn't stand Voyager...
I think the problem really lied with the UPN network and how they chose to broadcast with in conjunction with our local channel. Our local UPN had the rights to show the Phx Suns and so they kept preempting. Plus they'd show six episodes and rerun from previous seasons, it was just too hard to follow.
oops lied equals laid
Voyager started out good, but it went south...
They're selling for around 500 bucks on DVD for seven seasons, do you think its worth it?
I don't think so..
The last good ST series was DS9 and it was cuz of RDM.
To be honest I was more into Babylon 5 than DS9.. I have always thought the DS9 was a ripoff of B5..
Which was out before each other?
I think that DS9 came before B5, but what happend was the JMS pitched his idea to Paramount and they said no (think about it one studio having two sci-fi franchises).. So JMS went to Warner.. Then I think in 93 the pilot for B5 came out at the same time DS9 came out...
DS9 was 1993 and B5 was 1994
Things that make you go hmmm
