Ulysses Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Who says it is doing well in the ratings? The PR people? You trust them to be honest? These days, when I see commercials for movies or TV series it usually means the show is in trouble. As for real and beleivable, really, if that is what you want, go outside into the real world. I watch science fiction to see people treat each other with respect like they did on the first Star Trek. They talk nice to each other even if they fight. No disgusting porno disguised as love scenes. No mental sickness. None of the original Star Trek crew was sick in the head. None of them. I don't care if the old BSG was cheesy or had bad effects. It was about normal people who treated each other in a polite way. I don't want my science fiction stories to be polluted with sex or mental illness. I can turn on Dr Phil if I am addicted to watching people with mental illness. Ask yourself why Star Trek is dead? It isn't Star Trek. No one watches it. Star Trek is about people who are sick in the head, sex, or the latest terrorism propaganda. We can watch that on the evenign news so who is going to watch it on Star Trek? Don't believe me. Disagree with me. Why do you think Star Trek is dead? No one cares anymore? Bull! People love Star Trek. But Star Trekkers don't like gratuitous sex, violence or being propgandized for political reasons. So they quit watching. erm aint this thread ment to be about BSG???

daniel2497 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Star Trek. I also love the new BSG series. I love it for different reasons than Star Trek. Thats why I'm talking about BSG in the BSG discussion, and NOT comparing it to Star Trek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianisme Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 There is no doubt in my mind that the new series is light years ahead of the original. Maybe there are some people who are "sick in the head" in it but, guess what? Many people are "sick in the head" in the real world. It isn't porno; that's just a ludicrous suggestion. It is certainly sexier than the original but many of us are not right wing bible bashers from Texas or wherever. I have no problem accepting that sex outside of marriage happens or that people like to see sexy people on screen. Like it or not this is 2005, not 1805! As for the acting, I cannot see that it is worse than the original. The characters are (by and large) far more believable than the lightweight goody two-shoes portrayed in the original. Even the robotic Cylons are tougher than the guys in plastic armour with Knight Rider eyes in the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorisP Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 OK. I watched it again last night by accident. I stand by what I said. We will see how long it stays popular. I could be wrong. I thought the babylon 5 movies made after Babylon 5 shut down were junk. But I hear lots of people watched them. Maybe my standards are too high and I have become a science fiction snob. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good that they are making there own style of the re-make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy01 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I watched the 2 miniseries from the new Galactica....Great ! Really Great..I have also the first season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat13 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I liked the old Battle Star Galactica when it came out but not so much watching reruns now I watched the new BSG movie and there were too many changes for my liking .They scrapped the entire original concept and went with this concept which is fine but do not call it BSG call it something else . IMHO they just used the title BSG to get name recognition and because of that i havent watched any of the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 coolcat...id disagree with you on that, the basic concept is still there, its the characters that they have mainly changed and for the good if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougthenut Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I'm for the new one. Better storylines, better characterisation, underrunning continuity, sub-plots galore, something to get your teeth into. Infinitely better all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
