haro genki Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I still can't get used those new Base Stars... there's something about them that just doesn't look right. They look... well, organic, like something the Shadows and Vorlons would churn out... Other than that, the ships look pretty good. I'm liking how they brought back some of the old ships... nostalgia value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By they way, to all those who have played the PS2 game, is there a mode where you are inside the cockpit, so that you don't see your own viper? Thanks, Wm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 As vt102 pointed out a few pages back, not only is Konami coming out with very nice trading figures, but Joyride will aslo be releasing original BSG ships with some since gimmicks and articulated figures; SEE HERE.

GRAND CANNON Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Wonder if the "Lowdown" on Friday will be an edited version fo the DVD extra? And looking at those Joyride figures begs to ask.......will we see Athena in the series? Have to imagine there would have been some reference to her by now. Then again, maybe there will not be an 'Athena' because of the of critics saying there are too many female roles already, especially with the Starbuck/Boomer controversy. But who knows, maybe Athena will make an appearance as a man!! BTW, in the DVD-version of 'The Lowdown', the scene with Dirk Benedict(Starbuck-original) and Katee Sackhoff(Starbuck-new) talking in a Starbucks was funny. One more thing......For those that have the DVD.....I was under the impression that they were double-sided DVDs (even says so on the case), but in fact they are not. Wonder if there was supposed to hav been 1 double-sided DVD instead of the 2 single-sided DVDs that shipped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 @GC yeah the DVDs were originally suppossed to be double sided, and some actually are. However, from what I have read the very first pressings were double sided but there was a mix up at the manufacturer and they did not get enough double sided disks so did the rest as two disks, hence the lack of artwork.

wm cheng Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Man I love this series - just saw episode 10 "Hand of God" and its great sci-fi! Anyone have an answer to the playstation question? Those Joyride figures look pretty good - anyone actually see one of them? What's the quality like? Is this "Lowdown" an episode or a special features extra?

mechaninac Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 (edited) Those Joyride figures look pretty good - anyone actually see one of them? What's the quality like? I assume that their quality would be at least as good as Hasbro's "action fleet" line, but probably a little better given Joyride's 1/18 (and larger) scale bikes...those are very well detailed. Is this "Lowdown" an episode or a special features extra? "Lowdown" is a Sci-Fi channel gimmick; it's an introduction to the mini-series and/or the series with cast and crew interviews and some behind the scenes stuff.

Coota0 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 First thought: Today was the first time I have ever seen the original BSG, I can't believe it stayed on TV for even a full season, it's horrible. 2nd thought: The rearward visiblity in the Vipers is horrible, the seen in the mini-sereies where Apollo is trying to dodge the nuke really showed this.

Sarensaas Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 It will be cool if they bring back the Ship of Lights from TOS that were mentioned by the new shows producers as far as stories for the new series, and he mentioned the Pegasus too. I'm not sure about bringing back C.O.R.A. though If they do, at least put some guns on the Viper this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hervoyel Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 What continues to blow my mind about this after watching it again on DVD is how good they did this. Honestly, if someone would have told me twenty years ago that in another twenty years a new set of Star Wars movies would come out and they'd make an also new Battlestar Galactica television show look like Shakespeare I'm pretty sure I'd have laughed.

ComicKaze Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I still don't like the new Cyclons, ships and warriors. They just look so comically exaggerated...like tribal facemasks or something. The original Cylons were fearsome and the Raiders were sleek. Now they are flying Knight-helmet-heads with scimitar wings and the Cyclons themselves are like...ugg.

In the miniseries I wished someone would have tossed her ass out an airlock. (puts on the cynic's "insensitive" hat) There is hope...her character is supposed to have a terminal malignancy of some sort, so she may not be a long term character, and we'll be spared her annoying countenance.

EXO Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Why does the president have to be hot? There's enough cuties on the show, I doubt if Kim Basinger played the president she would play a much less convincing woman in power dying of cancer. I'm all for eye candy but thats ridiculous... She ups her political play in the regular series and it gets even more heated as it comes along. I agree she gets a bit in the way, but she plays that role well...

chowyunskinny Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 (edited) I wasn't suggesting someone like Kim Basinger to play that role. Someone said to compare her to a 52 year old that lives near me. It's just that a better comparison would be a person of the same age in the same field (in comparison of looks not acting chops) Edited January 12, 2005 by chowyunskinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 (edited) I'm not critizing the comparison (great examples BTW...) just the need to bring up how unattractive she was. Jane Seymour was in the OG? Still not enough to make me see TOS... lol. Edited January 12, 2005 by >EXO< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
