electric indigo Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) I've been drooling over the clip and took some stills of the awesomeness: Classy classic Basestars! CG environment > random canadian forest Galactica still has it's full armor on Gorilla Cylons? Love the Lazer Eye effect. And what's that hanging at the wall? Apparently, you can beat the Gorilla Cylons with a pointed stick. Lens flare abound. Razor Raiders. To widen the demographic, this one has Dinosaurs, too. The colorful space battles remind me of the days of Sierra's "Freespace" game. Note the Uber-Basestar at the left.

Dynaman Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I am happy it is coming out, but I'm going to wait for it on TV (and then watch the DVD). I really HATE watching a show in 10 minute chunks and then needing to click another link to get the next one going - commercials are bad enough (and these 10 minute chunks ARE going to have commercials too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) This just warmed my heart on a Cold day. I hope to see this real soon, though it 'll probably end up on some pay per view channel over here that Ican't / dont get and will have to torrent or wait for a Blu-Ray release, but looks good any how. Enough classic toasters and tech in there to look good and still kick it to the old series as well as the reimage. Gorilla Cylons? Love the Lazer Eye effect. And what's that hanging at the wall? Does that look like a Sharon/Boomer to you ? Could this be a point where the original was "scanned" to make the Skin Jobs ?

505thAirborne Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Unbelievable how heavily armed the Galactica was compared to how we saw in the first series! They weren't kidding in the Miniseries when they said most of her armor was stripped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 So nice to see the ol' girl in her prime, with the armor plating and all. Now, will they show any other ships besides the Battlestars? I hope so. Ep. 2 for your viewing pleasure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 It was good. I had to calm myself down before I watched it, make sure I wasn't just gonna like IT because it's BSG. 1st part is standard but 2nd part is great. And both parts looked great. I had a problem with too much sound in space in the first scene but *snip*... rest of it was more muffled. I think they can back off a bit more on the sound. The original reboot always made it feel like the vipers and raptors were just hurdling thru space with very little thrust and it gave an awesome feeling. This sneak felt big though.... it ain't no webisode, I can tell you that much. Oh yeah... software engineer.... HOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azrael Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thoughts: Spoiler'd for those who are avoiding watching it till the SyFy showing or home video release next year... -LENS FLARE!!!!! MY EYES!!!!! Did they really have to use the JJ Abbrams-Star Trek-filter. -Interesting choice for Galactica's CO. Didn't he play the cop investigating STO terrorists bombings in Caprica? -Nice to see the Raptors of this day didn't have FTL drives -Lots of CG sets. That must have driven the costs up for this show in post-production when they made this. Probably one of the many reasons it got canned. -Sure pack'd 'em into these old ships. That's one crowded landing bay. -Guess showing Galactica's internals also contributed to the costs for this show. Nice to see a lift being used to get from one part of the ship to the other. -Speaking of Galactica...Guess the higher production values of this show meant they could do some things. That's a much bigger CIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) I couldn't help myself, I watched it... AWESOME! The interior shots did not look cheesy at all, characters were interesting, and the plot hooked me in right away. Why can't Syfy try for this level of show all the time? [edit] Other then the budget, surely they could try a little harder on their cheeper creepers... Edited November 10, 2012 by Dynaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikuro Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Indeed, for as much cg and green screen as there was, it was a refreshing sight to see Galactica in her prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I gave in and watched the first two parts too. I definately like what I'm seeing so far, and hope Universal decides to release Caprica on bluray too, if this does well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsain Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Wow, that flight deck is a lot busier than it will be in 40 years. I think now I'll wait til I can watch the whole thing in 1 sitting. These snippets will get annoying. Overall, a good start. I will say that it appears the director REALLY liked the '09 Star Trek.

Ghost Train Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Would have loved to see 2 more seasons of Caprica with timeskips in between - with Blood and Chrome being the third. The first is about the rise, the second about how cylons integrated into colonial society, ending with their rebellion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJockey Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I think I'll watch this tonight. I don't want to wait and risk Syfy not putting it on or something. They seem to hate any good sci-fi show these days even though the name of the channel is Syfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to hate any good sci-fi show these days even though the name of the channel is Syfy. SyFy will air the 2-hour pilot in early 2013. The unrated Blu-ray/DVD currently has a street date of Feb. 19, 2013. Whether you want to watch it now or wait till it comes out early next year is up to you.

505thAirborne Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Dumb question but I though I would ask, are these the same MK II Vipers from the previous BSG series or a slightly different design or variant? (Besides the different Squadron colors) The main intakes, Engine exhausts are not the same and even the canopy seem slightly more rounded.

(Besides the different Squadron colors) The main intakes, Engine exhausts are not the same and even the canopy seem slightly more rounded. Ideally, they're suppose to be the same just as the Cylon Raiders we see should be the same as the ones from BSG: Razor, but I'm sure there are some slight differences. Since the production values seemed to be higher than what they were back in the re-imaged series, I'm sure they took this opportunity to really "redesign"/cleanup the stuff they used previously.

myk Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Lol, yeah I love how the further we go back in any sci-fi series: Star Wars, Star Trek, BSG, etc, the better everything looks. It was great seeing the Galactica again though, and I missed hearing the audio report of the Dradis...

big F Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) They should do what they did for Halo -- Re-do the original in stunning 360 graphics and the newer havok engine. Admittedly it's esier with CGI characters as they dont age in the same way as the BSG original series cast has. New CGI space scenes would help though, although no ammount of CGI would ever get rid of the cheese factor Edited November 12, 2012 by big F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 New CGI space scenes would help though, although Although there was nothing wrong with the ships in the original series, just the constant recycling of the battle scenes.

They showed that Viper Squadron landing sequence EVERY EPISODE; you know, the one that had the one Viper bouncing as it hit the deck. Anyway, it's 5am and my head hurts-how, when does this thing air/stream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC there were three or four that got regular outings one IRC was also from the film. Kudos for them in saving money though. cant be bothered to skim through the DVDs to work out which ones.

(Besides the different Squadron colors) The main intakes, Engine exhausts are not the same and even the canopy seem slightly more rounded. Fairly easily explained as being same "model" but different "block number" or variant. So it's still a Viper Mk II but probably Block 200 instead of 250 (or vice versa).
