Wease Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Who else is gonna watch this show? I think it looks bad ass. I loved the miniseries last winter, I'm really glad they decided to go on with it. I don't watch much TV (Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood on HBO and a couple sitcoms), but I'm really excited about this one. I loved the old show as a kid, even though it was a bit cheesy at times. Give the fact that I grew up on Star Wars, I love shows like this. I heard it's gonna be very dark and mysterious, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are just certain science fiction things I enjoy. Yes, I like Star Wars too, but you won't see me dressed up like an Ewok or waiting in line to see the movie for weeks on end...

Yeah, a buddy of mine got it off of BitTorrent as well. I refuse to do that, I'll just watch it on TV when it officially comes out. However, I will continue to get as much porn as possible through BT... graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Ok just watched the rebroadcast last night of the two part "miniseries" that spawned the upcoming new series. Fuck YEAH! Smart, witty, good dialog, excellent visuals, doesn't insult my intelligence. I like the slangs, they use "bullets". LOVE the naval traditions in manuevering that big ship - the CNC scenes gave me chills from my Saratoga days. Best part - its not hokey. The miniseries was dark and morbid to the point of almost being depressing. Which of course makes sense, after everyone pretty much getting killed by massive nuclears strikes. They weren't running around giving each other high fives for downing a Cylon or other crap like that - things that wouldn't make any sense for people who just lost everything they knew, everyone they loved and knew. I mean picture this: like 15 minutes into the first episode a cyborg cylon woman just casually kills a baby in a crib! How's that for balls? It wasn't gratuitous or gory either. But you knew, right there, they weren't fucking around with campiness. My wife got up and walked out. And I was sitting there thinking "Damn, they aren't pulling punches are they? Not twiddling around with this writing are they?" That was sick, granted, but I stayed if not for any reason other than I had to see what came next out of any show that had the balls to do that on broadcast tv - make the bad guys bad, as opposed to merely stylish... Love'd the line of the President: "The war's over. We lost." Man I love shows that don't devolve to cater to stupid people. Its rare. If the series holds up the quality of what I saw last night I'll be all over this one. Thanks for the heads up. EDIT: Btw - I recently caught an episode of the old 70s series in a hotel in Kansas on Tuesday. I can't BELEIVE I thought that was good. It was painful watching that embarassment. The new one is many times better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Tune it tomorrow night for the first "episode". It's 2 hours long. I too, watched the 4 hours of last years minseries last night, just because I forgot a lot of what happened. I think it's very well done. This is the first TV show I've been excited about in a LONG time... smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Me too. The Gaius actor deserves an Emmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
