Maureen Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Over at my Trekkie boards some of the posters also like to discuss and compare the new TV series Battlestar Galactica (BSG). Since it is the creation of Glen A. Larson (who is Mormon) and he added his lovely Mormon touch to the story of BSG; I was wondering if there are any fans here - and what do you think of the new show, including mini-series. Canada's SPACE channel has only started airing episodes, so I can't discuss speciific episodes just the overall gist of the show. So is anyone here a BSG fan?If you're curious about the BSG story, I found a great and lengthy summary of BSG here:http://www.sf-fandom.com/vbulletin/showthr...8858#post228858M. Quote
Cal Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 I liked the original star trek, but not the other stuff. Quote

Cal - Have you watched Enterprise recently or at all? This season is quite good - good story concepts. The fanatical trekkies are big on the prequel emphasis of the show, since the Enterprise is 100 years before Captain Kirk. The writers have done a good job with that and made a lot of avid fans happy. I have enjoyed all 4 seasons of ENT but I'm still partial to Season 3.So Cal, what about BSG, were you a fan of the original show back in the '70's? Have you seen any of the new ones? I found the old BSG cheesy, but I'm enjoying the new version.M. Quote

I would really like to see more of it, though.I never saw BSG, it seemed to be on at a time we weren't home (Sunday night during church time.) Quote

Jenda - Enterprise is coming out on DVD this year; Season 1 comes out May 3rd and the other seasons spread out during the year. The only disadvantage is that Star Trek DVD's tend to be expensive - I'm sure video stores will be renting them though. Also, Enterprise will be going into syndication this fall, so if you haven't seen it yet, there's a good chance you'll be able to watch the repeats later this year.BSG is aired (Friday nights) on the Sci-Fi channel in the states - I believe they have also just started airing the new series. I believe BSG's first airings were in the UK.I am quite impressed with the new BSG, especially since the '70's version, IMO wasn't that great.M. Quote
Lindy Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I have watched the BSG on Sci-Fi a couple of times while waiting for StarGate (need that Richard Dean Anderson fix) I like it. Quote

Hi Lindy,I'm not a big SG1 fan but from what I've heard (I think), starting in Season 9 Mr. Anderson either will no longer be in the series or he will only be in a few episodes.M. Quote

They are starting a new series called SG Atlantis......I think that is the one he isn't in very often. If they kill him off the series like they did Bobby on NYPD Blues.....I will just have to stage a one person boycott AGAIN I have watched that man smile his way out of trouble since the 70's. Quote
