    Voyager...:(

    maybe some small colonies survived the voyagers "culling" and they will return in all their glory!!!
  2. no, we europeans are more subtile and have a better hearing ;) now seriously - from http://www.answers.com/topic/battlestar-galactica Main title The main title is divided into two segments, the first a reflective series of flashbacks showing the Colonies' destruction and the Cylon invasion, and the second an action-oriented montage of images from the coming episode. Moore intended the montage sequence to be a direct homage to the titles of Space: 1999, which used a similar device at the start of each episode. There are significant differences in the titles between the UK and overseas versions of the show. The "reflective" segment of the title sequence has vocals over a lilting theme in the UK version, while the overseas version is slow and somber and lacks vocals. The UK and overseas versions have the same music in the "active" segment of the titles, using a fast-paced version of the distinctive taiko drumming that characterises the Galactica score. The vocals sound Celtic but are in fact a famous Hindu mantra, the Gayatri Mantra, taken from the Rig Veda. The words are "OM bhūr bhuvah svah tat savitur varēnyam bhargō dēvasya dhīmahi dhiyō yō nah pracōdayāt", which may be translated in various ways but means approximately "may we attain that excellent glory of Savitar the God / so May he stimulate our prayers". The contrasting UK and overseas versions arose as a result of creative differences between Moore, the series composer Richard Gibbs and the Sci Fi Channel's management. The Vedic vocals were originally devised as "temp music" intended to serve as a placeholder for a forthcoming score. Moore and fellow producer David Eick liked the temp music so much that they opted to retain it, and instructed Gibbs to work it up into a full score, though the composer himself was far from happy with this. However, the Sci Fi Channel disliked the vocals on the grounds that they were "too sad", overruled Moore and created a new version for the US screening of the series. This was based on existing background music for the show, which Gibbs felt was even less suitable for a title sequence. The titles themselves were slightly shorter than the UK version, and the end result was two differing versions which only one party out of three was fully happy with [1] (http://www.galactica2003.net/articles/gibbs122404.shtml). It remains to be seen whether either version will be used for the second season, or whether yet another change will be made to the title music.

  4. lol - that is so true. ford - I like him more this way, like a soldier he was really underdevelopt as a caracter. let him rampant some more, it will be fun to watch how he makes wraith hiss some more B)
  5. LOL. I know its not funny but what are the chances for that to happen.. still, no problem, get it from mininova - its a demonoid tracker and my ratio would be destroid if I post this torrent (so I canot post it on niteshdw) - could someone else do it? people will be very happy ;-)

  8. I agree. Threshold is a sort of "filling" between the sg/galactica second part of the current season - so we dont get too bored :)
  9. from demonoid forum: Episode 11 (Resurrection Ship) is due to be shown on 11th January next year. http://www.tv.com/battlestar-galactica-2003/show/23557/episode_listings.html&season=2
  10. man, is it just me or has ford gone completely out of his mind?! forcing the enzime on the sga team (and even rodney mind you), then going into the hive ship and when it didnt went according to plan, accuse shep of messing up the mission deliberatly - now thats some ezime-onitis talking there.. edit: oh, but I have to say one thing, his caracter is much more interesting this way, isnt it? :)
  11. ok, here is a good site to keep up to date on the recent tv series - link to the sci-fi section: http://www.tv.com/science-fiction/genre/10/summary.html?tag=browse;science-fiction
  12. now the second link (dl not good for ratios) - is this article ment for america and uk audience? about dl-s affecting the ratings I mean. becose if the rest dl some eps it wont change a thing if you ask me..
  13. can we do some shedule list for episodes of SG1 and SGA so that anybody can check when to expect episodes in advance? a sort of list, like sci-fi, canada, uk.. where airs it first and we will have less questions why some eps are not on this week (like double SG1 and none atlantis only this week).. any thoughts - yes, no? edit: yes, topic name is a bit off - can a moderator choose a better one? :)
  14. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320969/ "This oversimplified drivel doesn't deserve the name "Stargate" or to be in any way associated with the Stargate movie and TV series. If they wanted to create a new show based on the concept of traveling through gates across the galaxy, then so be it. But I hate the cheap ploy of cashing in on the Stargate namesake. This IS NOT Stargate and doesn't deserve the name!" well, this says it all..
  15. "you're slowly learning to be a man" - too bad for you steveo, hehehe.. oh, yeah: Im CPO Galen Tyrol (Chief).. a hunk of man really. :)
  16. I had flashes of event horizon (the movie) trough the premiere and Im not sure why.. anyone else?
  17. what is most annoying for me about her is that histerical laughter witch she pulls on a periodical bases - its just spooky for me, like she is a bit loony (smack! put yourself together girl!) and really alienate her as a likeable caracter for me. not to mention the cheezy dialogs.. no offence, Im just saying why I dislike the caracter. is it the script then?
  18. as far as I remember they were considering the option making the jump (gaeta, baltar and tigh) but the cylon virus was compromising navigation also and they could jump in the middle of the sun. I agree, this is one of the best episodes in season 2 - so far. we still have half of a season ahead :)
  19. Correct, he will be a recurring character. Considering previous Ford, this Ford will be a lot more interesting and if we see Colm Meaney and the Genai again, I think the second season will definitly be even better than the first. And finding a bunch of zpm-s would not hurt.. :)
  20. it is different, but I like both seasons - like ice cream with different flavours :)
  21. http://www.mybittorrent.com/index.php?i=10383&type=bittorrent&category=&name=The+Thing+%281951%29 but it has only one seed :( so hurry up! :)
  22. ok, I didnt watch the last samurai (becose I cant stand tom curse:)) so, what is the connection between the two?
