Battlestar Gallactica...

[Karl_b]

Righto, I'll crack on then.

 

Now to learn to count.

 

Kudos Remmie on the double bump.

[Sweeney287]

Started watching this a couple of days ago and am quite impressed so far.

 

No. 6 is pretty tasty too.

I got that boxset on Friday from HMV for £35, on the recommendation of two workmates who had raved about it. Can't believe the amount of nobheads on amazon getting all uppity because it misses out the second half of the final season. 20 discs, 3 & 1/2 seasons plus the three hour mini-series and feature length "razor" is pretty good value in my book. Finished the mini-series already, well impressed so far. Still trying to work out what that english guy has been in before though...

 

EDIT : Just Wiki'd him (James Callis) and nothing springs to mind. It's doing my head in.

He was in Soldier Soldier.

He was also in DS9 as the doctor

[Guest davelfc]

James Callis is in Galactica

Siddig El Fadil played the DR in DS9

 

You should have gone to specsavers

No, that was another actor. But they do look and sound bloody alike though.

I'm somewhere in season 4. The first 2 seasons were brilliant but now it's all going a bit weird. Not entirely in a good way.

[Torvald Utne]

The acting is surprisingly decent in this show especially from him and number 6.

Your right I posted that and thought he must be bloody old then and googled it. They are quite similar though... maybe he is a real life Cylon? Stock up your tinned food!

 

He is a good actor that Gaius. According to Wiki he was in Bridjet Jones Diary too.

The first two seasons are amazing but I liked seasons 3&4 they alude to it all so wasnt that weird.

Anyone have a stream for this as I have 10 hours of nothing to do..

[philyhamann]

I don't provide illegal streams to shows that I like.

[rondeco]

Shut the fuck up and give me the stream motherfucker.

web episodes aren't needed, I haven't seen them and you couldn't view them outside of north america anyway. mini-series is/was the pilot. there is a new movie coming out sometime called The Plan which is just about their plan or some carp.

 

phil.

 

you seem to be the forum expert on these matters - do you (and the others) have access to fox tv ?

 

the reason i ask is that i worked on a pilot for a new sci-fi show last summer called 'virtuality'. it was created by the same guy who did BSG (ron moore).

 

io9 - Ron Moore's VR Masterpiece Virtuality Finally Gets An Airdate - Virtuality

 

i spent the summer designing the interiors of the spacecraft (phaeton). it doesn't sound like it has a great long-term future, but the two-hour pilot airs on july 4th......thought you might be interested.

[philyhamann]

I have heard about it cause I am a fan of Mr Moores work, thats pretty awesome.

 

From what I know its on Fox, so I'd be surprised if it lasted. Sci-Fi tends to get boned on Fox.

 

The concept doesn't sound too hot, but I didn't watch Battlestar until season 3 and that was cause I saw he was the main guy behind it.

I should neg...

[neko]

yeah, it's a shame it will likely get trashed.

 

apparently, the execs at fox were not on board with the idea of a homosexual relationship in the show.

 

it was fun working on the sets though - really enjoyed it. i wish i could post some images, but i could get shot for doing so.

[philyhamann]

It might do well, Moore is thought of well in TV land and all his stuff has been well recieved by critics. Fox just suck though, I'm surprised he is working with them.

FOX bought it off NBC while i was working on it (my cheques came from there).

 

not sure how that game works, but i guess some shows get traded.

[philyhamann]

Sounds fun, they do all the sci-fi shooting in Vancouver.

if that is a question, then the answer is 'mostly'.

[neko]

okay, be gentle with me.

 

i'm not much for popular tv in general, hardly ever go to the movies or rent a current video.

 

i really wanted to watch a bit of BSG because i had heard good things aboot it, but quite honestly it didn't grab me at first, and is often on near/past my bedtime.

 

last night though it finally reeled me in. i started watching the final two episodes of the season at 8:00 last night and stayed up way past midnight (which to anyone who knows me is a BIG deal).

 

great drama, very bleak and harsh for tv, which i think is great writing. the CG quality was excellent and the characters and their interaction (which i'm still learning, of course) made for compelling viewing. the best thing was, for me, that it didn't suffer from very much fluff or unrealistic actions.

 

so now i have quite a lot of catching up to do since i've only seen just the two episodes. i don't think they were new ones either - the colonial planets are attacked by cylons and the human race is almost wiped out. it seems the cylons can jam, or shut down all the fighting vessels.

 

where am i in the scheme of things ? what can i look forward to ?

[neko]

so, i read the entire thread now, and i guess what i saw was the miniseries, which is a good jumping off point for season one.

 

after that i'm going to do season 2/3/4 in that order - such good advice on this forum.

[rondeco]

I'm about 4 episodes ahead of you Neko, and it's maintains the quality so far. I'm delighted I'm onto this.

[discuit]

I've just finished it, can someone recommend me another Sci fi series to get into?
