From: Kiamat Dusk Amen! I recently watched back to back episodes of BSG1 and BSG2.  What a difference a couple decades makes! Oh! But does anybody remember that Boxey was in the BSG2 pilot? Wow! We dodged that bullet!  -Kiamat Dusk Boxey isn't as bad as muffit, tho. Worse than the original BSG was BSG:1982. Ever watch that? Gah! I love the 80s, but that's terrible.

From: Kiamat Dusk So I've been catching up on the second season of the new Battlestar Galactica and I have to say, this is hands down the best sci-fi show ever on television. Any other fans in here?
-Kiamat Dusk I'm a TOSer that loves BSG:TNS!! So say we all!! Reitsuki Kojima: it was Galactica 1980 not 1982. LOL Oh and I've survived the skiffy boards for 2 years now... anyone else here on the skiffy boards? |

From: Reitsuki Kojima "Well, you have a terminal disease. But as least that sinus infection is gone!" Touche! Still, I'd take the damn dagget over that brat any day. But I think we can both agree that neither of them made it into the regular BSG2 series.... ...even if it does mean that you have to go and shower again...  -Kiamat Dusk

I like it.
Yet the DVDs are fifty quid, and it;s been three years since release and no terrestrial channel over here's picked it up.

OMG! My eyes! MY EYES!!!!!

So I flipped on Sci Fi to see what was on and they just happen to be showing Battlestar 1980. OMG! I couldn't watch but 10mins of it! It was even more horrible than they said! I wonder if they are showing it just to make the new BSG look even better-as if it needed any help. That show is teh awes0m3.

I tried watching the new BS galactica. About as exciting as watching paint dry. I am a big Sci-Fi fan and was very disapointed with this BS.
I am sure others would disagree, but then people find Law and Order exciting too.

-Kiamat Dusk Heh, I watched it today too. I actually made it through two and a half episodes before I finally couldn't take anymore. It's even worse than I'd remembered. At least when I was a kid in 1980, flying motorcycles were somewhat entertaining. I still knew the show was crap, mind you, but I wanted a flying motorcycle of my own, so somehow that made it okay to watch. Now I'd still like a flying motorcycle, but evidently at some point during the last 26 years I must have developed some standards because if I see another Galactica 1980 episode I think I will puke. By the way, has anyone ever figured out how exactly they fit those bikes into those tiny Vipers? I mean, every time they land, magically those bikes are there, but where do they come from? The Viper's got a cockpit barely big enough for 2 people, 3 engines making up the rear, and a cylinder maybe 2 feet across for the nose. Where's the trunk?

The storyline and acting is much more important than where the storage area is located! What do you like, not dislike! |

Ranma, perhaps you should read a little more carefully. I said the flying motorcycles were the reason I DID like the show as a kid, but that they're not enough of a reason to keep me liking it as an adult. I never said the storage area (or lack thereof) had anything to do with anything, which was why that whole paragraph started with "by the way". What wasn't clear? From: Kiamat Dusk WTF!? There were flying motorcycles?! Were they anything like the ones from Megaforce -Kiamat Dusk Megaforce!!!!! So you're the other Megaforce fan in the world! I knew there had to be one out there somewhere. I loved that movie. Okay, I was seven when it came out, and I only saw it once, so it may well have been awful, but I do have fond memories of it. Anyway, the Galactica motorcycles weren't much like the Megaforce ones. I wasn't able to find a good in-show pic, but here is a page from the visual effects modeler who created them so you can see what they looked like.
