Muffit/Zark (it's a stretch I know)

So many similarities..it makes me wonder which came first BG or Gatch?
and wouldnt Muffitt be more like 1 rover 1?
Oh yeah...duh me!! I forgot about 1 R 1 !!
My list is certainly open for discussion. I'm in the midst of gathering together similiar themes within the shows.
Far too similar!! lol
OOh I think Im gonna luuuurve getting reacquainted with BG!! and those above character comparisons !! Way over due for bedtime, so cant wait to check both BG threads!!
Bedtime for you? Lunchtime for me!!
Any chance you are near Wagga Wagga? We have a client there and they keep teasing me that I might go one day.
Look at me...hijacking me own thread...!
Do you get the BSG re-runs by you????

Finaly since I don't have Sky 1 or 2, I go to the Sci-Fi channel's website for Battlestar .
[EMAIL=http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/]http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/[/EMAIL]
Thursday evening, I returned home to find a nice little package waiting for me. Inside was the 'new' Battlestar Galactica complete first season.
I have been very hesistant to start watching this series as I didn't want something that I loved so much from my childhood be all twisted and turned around and end up as something I didn't even recognize. I had been completely put off just by the mere fact that Starbuck and Boomer were now women.
But, after hearing so much from a co-worker and internet chat about how well the show was written and then I heard it won a Peabody Award for writing, I gave in.
Thursday night, I watched the 3 hour mini-series which would later spin off into the series and I've got to say that I'm 100% hooked. It works drew me in. It works for me. I'm obsessed. I watched 4 hours the first night, 5 hours the next night and I finished up the series on Saturday morning. Saturday had me wandering into Blockbuster to see if I could get my hand on Season 2.0 to no such luck. So, I pacifed myself by watching the extras.
This show is defintely sc-fi...but it deliveres soooo much more!! The writing is excellant (although some of the acting leaves something to be desired)...but I get it and it gets me as a viewer.
Gotta run off now...but I'll post more later.
And oh yeah...I've already got Season 2.0 and Season 2.5 ordered!!
OH HOT DAYUM!!!
Think I just melted into a puddle...whimperwibblehappyfaint

Worried, worried sick about what will happen, especially wth the roguish Starbucvk becoming a babe. But when the first series came to Sky 3 on freeview, I thought, I try to watch it. Unfortuantely, Sky didn't show the mini-series on sky 3 at all, so those like me were thrwn straight into the series without much a clue. Well I did asw I read the sympsis on the website beforehand. I found the SciFi channel webstie and type the 2 words, Battlestar Galactica in and it came in. Since I don't have Sky, I read about it before watching it on Sky 3. It was better than thought and I regonise couple of actors, one is the former boss of Miami Vice and the other is the original Apollo, Richard Hatch, who's hair hasn't changed since the late 70s. There are only a few things I don't like about the series but they are only small complaints, which I can live with. Also, Rom Moore, who used to wrk n the varius Star Trek series is invlved with this new series f Battlestar.

For the past 7 days I've been riding that exhilarating wave called Battlestar Galactica. Ahem...the NEW Battlestar Galactica that is.
In one weeks time, I've been through the miniseries Season 1 and Season 2. And I cannot believe the following words are coming out of my mouth....I mean I cannot believe I'm typing the following words....but Lieutenant Kara Thrace a.k.a. Starbuck is my most favorite female character of all-time.
This gal completely rocks!! She is a reckless, tough as nails, defies authority best damned fighter pilot the fleet has. And because of that, she gets away with a lot of things...but she also ends up in the brigg a lot too. She also has this underlying vulnerability and the only person who really gets to see her this way is her Captain and (and eventually Commander), Apollo.
Starbuck and Apollo are comrades and best friends. There is also this amazing underlying sexual tension between them. But Apollo knows how to get through her tough exterior. And even though he deeply loves her, he is sometimes envious or resentful towards her. Apollo (good guy boy scout like tendencies) has a tumultuous relationship with his father the Commander of Galactica and his father has really taken Starbuck under his wing and treats her like his own daughter. There is a lot of tenderness there and I think that Apollo somewhat resents that. Also, Starbuck is the go-to gal for the serious missions because she isn't afraid and because she knows how to think outside the box.
Anways...I'm a totally Apollo/Starbuck Shipper and if anyone wants to see evidence of their chemistry (despite what you think...they are not together)...just watch this youtube video a fan has put together
Starbuck and Apollo: Lips of an Angel
Okay, I know I can google this but I want it from a view of people that know what type of chemistry and angst I'll be lookin for...
Without giving away ALL the movie... whats the main story line??? It has honestly been since the show was on the air (late 70's I think) that I have seen anything on it. After watching Lola's nicly done video I want the scoop....
Anyone willing to give me a "birds" eye discription....
You have to watch one more video and I'll give you the low down and this truly amazing show....
This one shows the tougher side of Starbuck. The cigar smoking, heavy drinking, gal that can take a punch...best damned fighet pilot that she is!!
And check out Apollo in nothing but a towel....
Starbuck Video
Check out : Special Two
All 3 vids as well as your reviews on the characters stunned me as Ive never seen new BG!
Give us that lowdown Lola!
Wow Imi! I've never heard that song before!! It just about fits these two to a tee!
Thanks so much for sharing that one!!!
*double swoon*
And now it's time for Lola's Lowdown....
Years ago, In a galaxy far far away....
Oopss wait...wrong show!!
Okay. Basically, this is the backstory...
Man created Cylons which were machines intended to help humans. But man made the Cylons too well and the machines became smarter and rebelled against man leading to a Cylon war. But then a truce was called and the Cylons disappeared never to be heard from for 40 years....
Billions of people lived on 12 planets also called colonies. Each colony had it's own battlestar to protect them. Galactica was an old battlestar getting ready to be decomissioned on the day the Cylons reappeared and wiped out billions of people in a nuclear war on the colonies taking all the battlestars with them...except one.
Because the Galactica was so old (and because Commander William Adama wouldn't allow it) the battlestar was never computer networked with the other battlestars. The Cylons infiltrated the other battlestars networked system and this is how it destroyed them.
On the day of the decommissiong ceremony, Lee Adama (Apollo) arrives on the Galacatica to attend the event. He hasn't seen his estranged father,the Commander, since the funeral of Zak, Lee's brother, 2 years ago. Apollo blames his father for Zak's death. Lee also runs into Kara Thrace (callsign: Starbuck), who was engaged to Zak when he died. One instantly gets the feeling that there was a great familiarity between the two. They act like two 10 year olds around each other. Constantly teasing and play fighting.
The Cylons attack and Galactica realizes that anyone that was in space on a ship (other than the battlestars) were the lucky ones and survived the attack. Almost everyone else on the planets were wiped out. They round up the other ships and realize that they do not have the power to fight back The only thing they can do is run from the Cylons.
And that's pretty much were the mini-series ends and the T.V. Series begins.
What is interesting about this show is that you feel for these survivors. They are running away from potential death every day of their lives. Life as they have known it, doesn't exist anymore.
BSG also has a WIKI devoted to it...
It can be found here. They do it more justice than I can...so check it out....

Okay...I'm done!
In 12 days I've managed to watch all the miniseries and all of seasons 1, 2, and 3. Don't ask me how I did it....but thank god for Itunes!! Yes...I'm obsessed and now I have to wait until Jan 2008 for the next season..so not fair!!!
I've been trying to dream up ways on how I can meet Jamie Bamber (aka Apollo) in person to let him know that he really does love me!! *grins*
In the meantime, I'll have to make do with fanfic, podcasts, and youtube submissions...
Here is a VERY funny one I found comparing the old BSG and the new BSG.
NEW CREW IN TOWN
omg that was hilarious! I can believe my love for Richard Hatch looks now like a mere cringeworthy crush compared to the lust felt for Jamie Bamber!
Curse ya Lola for making us fall head over heels in love with the new BSG!!
Ill admit it, Im officially hooked! I'm booking a whole weekend to hiring the series within the next 3 weeks!
AArgh with so many fics to still read, the Spidey 3 movie coming out and now BSG on my plate this month looks like its gonna be

Don't give too much thought to the acting...it does get better as the season progresses.

Whe the original Galactica came out years ago I had SUCH a crush on Starbuck...so ti was hard to look at the female version at first.
I liked the first season of the 2000 version. But haven't seen anymore. The new cylons are more like Galactor though. If they made Gatchaman into a SCi Fi series(not animated) I wonder how it would work??? Galactica finds earth to find Galactor is trying to take over and 5 bird people defending it
....now Galactor has an ally called the cylons who want them all dead too but are willing to use them in the meantime to take over the earth, while the SNT team up with Apllo who has a power struggle with the Eagle and the Condor and Starbuck are in a love hate but great sex relationship not mention Boltar and the mutant........
OH WHEEEEEE Ebonee!!
I see the start of an awesome crossover fic!!!! I like the way you think!!!

You maybe right I see a potential ficcie coming on here.......
I think I 'd need help with that one...how about the power struggle between Apollo and The Eagle can involve the swan as well both me want her...
you can have real love triangle going on there and the Owls dream id to pilot the Galactica.......The swallow just wants to blow things up and and annoy Starbuck who has threatened to up his boulers on him........
Dr Nambu and Adama clash over tactics ans scientific details and the over use of bird missles and and asks Adama "who the hell invited you anyway???"........
Can you image the showdown between Zoltar and Six???? I get chills just thinking about it.
I can help with the BSG characters. I feel I can get in their heads better than BOTP.
Maybe it's because I've ingested the entire 3 season...twice already.
Now, I'm on to watching the podcasts that coordinate with each episode....
Don't forget the showdown between Baltar and Zoltar's mech captain.
hmmm....I don't know Met. I cannot image Baltar having a showdown with anyone. He seems kind of weak. I'd imagine if confronted, he'd yelp and hide behind Caprica Six.
Well arn't some of the mech captains bit weak? If not, oh well, try Baltar verus Zark.

Baltar and Zark are more on the same level...both annoying and live in dream land.....
Ahhh!!!
I'm officially a crazy obsessed fan!
I'm going to meet Jamie Bamber (a.k.a Apollo) in October. He is attending creationcon in Chicago (only 2 hours away from me). He will be doing a meet n greet fan signing / photos type deal!!

AAAARRGGGHHHH! Lola!!! What have you done to me???!!! You evil evil corrupting force and you!!
Yesterday the video store called, and I FINALLY got a hold of the three hour Movie Premier Miniseries AND the First series of BSG..
IM....HOOKED!!
Sheer Brilliance!! I thought I would always stay loyal to the memory of the Original 1980's BSG ....UNTIL YESTERDAY!!!
Was on the edge of my seat the whole time! this new adaptation of BSG from plot, characters and setting , far more realistically presented! No neat endings with the goodies winning and no one dying after each episide...this is breathtaking ( as in punch in your gut gasp breathtaking ) stuff!!!
Just when you think you know whats going to happen , some gobsmaking twist veers you in a different direction!
And YE GODS..Apollo!!! To think he started off as a "superior a*hole" as Starbuck so aptly called him! ( ye Gods how loved that scene!) ...omg....and you are going to meet him!!
Make my original whoop of excitement for you turn into tears of green damn envy at the thought you are going to meet him, now that I know more about him and the series!!
Dammit its the entire cast...each and everyone of them are flawless!!!
AAARRGGHH....I can write essays about BSG, Im that HOOKED!!!
Thanks Lola...for corrupting me into yet another obsession!
So Say We All.
SO SAY WE ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!! (that is the sound of LOLA clapping her hands and practically screaming at the monitor in sheer excitement cause IMI GETS IT!!!)
OH babe!! I'm just so fracking hysterically overjoyed that you FINALLY got to indulge!! Just by knowing you from here and knowing your love of the Gatch Fandom, I really felt that BSG could take you to another level.
And you want to know the amazing part? Yesterday, I was sick ALLDAY on the couch, so I popped in The MINISeries and then watch Season 1 all the way up to Flesh and Bone!! I caught so many things I missed the first time around.
And yes, Apollo does come off as quite the arrogant ass-holio....but yes he just gets better and better. Could you feel the tension when he first came to see her in the brig?
[/IMG]
[/IMG]
Then when she thought he was dead and she unfolded the picture of her and Zak...only to reveal that Apollo was in the piccie too?
Oh...and Starbuck Maneuver that saved Apollo before the FTL jump??? Amazing!! Best.damned.fighter.Pilot!! Even Cranky Ole Tigh had to agree on that one!!!
Oh..and Edward James Olmos as Commander Adama is simply brilliant. Nice pairing him with Laura Roslin. Don't get me started on Helo and Boomer either..tons of drama in store for them!!
You will notice that BSG has VERY STRONG female roles which is what I absoutely applaud (Starbuck, Roslin, Boomer, and Six all can walk the fine line between genders and not skip a beat).
Okay...okay..I'm rambling....

I don't have cable and they took it of free to air after that and I was hooked....dam them!!!
Hi Ebonny,
Edward James Olmos and Katee Sackhoff were interviewed recently and both said that next season (4) is the last. This caused a HUGE uproar all over the BSG fandom.
The next day Ron D Moore and David Eick (BSG creators and producers) both issued statements that EJO and KS are not the final word, that they are.
So...until we hear officially from SciFi, we are still good....pray to the Lords of Kobol that the fan base keeps getting bigger and they keep it for a couple more seasons. I'm not at a place yet where I can let it go.

Thanks for the info Lola....great pics by the way
The BSG board I belong to had a Bump and Grind Challenge. We had to use the words Bump and Grind in short scenario...
This was my submission:
"Truth or Dare?," yelled Starbuck as she waved her pointed finger around the room and finally settled on Racetrack.
Racetrack giggled, took another swig out of her mug, and contemplated the question for a moment. "Truth" she yelled back.
A knowing grin spread across Starbucks face as she slowly crawled forward to put her face within inches of Racetrack's. "I think....." she paused and looked around the room making sure she had an audience "that you......want to jump Helo's bones."
Racetrack's face quickly turned from a playful smile into a knowing blush as she avoided Helo's stare. She was silently thankful that Athena wasn't in the room.
"Ah ha!!" exclaimed Starbuck proudly as she settled back into her place against the wall. "No need to answer truth on that!! We know!"
"So, you think that's the truth, huh?" Racetrack asked. Starbuck and everyone else in the room nodded. "Okay!whatever!" She smirked. It was time to have a little fun on Starbuck's behalf. "Truth or Dare?" She yelled. And much to everyone's amazement, her pointed finger landed on Apollo.
Apollo wasn't sure how he got roped into playing this game during the fleet's downtime , but he knew he wasn't about to reveal any of his secrets. "Uhhh......Dare," he said, reluctantly.
"I dare you... Apollooooo," slurred Racetrack, "to give Starbuck a lap dance."
All eyes quickly shifted around the room. Some landed on Starbuck who was grinning from ear to ear while others focused on Apollo who looked positively mortified.
"Ah...no. I don't think so." Apollo suddenly remembered his place in the fleet. He was the CAG and he most certainly couldn't put himself into a situation that jeopardized his leadership position above the others. They would never let him live it down.
"Sorry Guys. I need to finish the CAP reports." He stood up and headed towards the door.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Yelled Helo who quickly jumped up to block the door with the help of Hotdog. "You said you were in at the beginning of the game. Game's not over yet, Sir."
"What's the matter, Sir? Afraid that you'll prove that the CAG really doesn't have any moves." Starbuck's taunting voice behind Apollo made him smile.
Apollo turned around to find Starbuck already settled into a chair throwing him a come hither look. The sounds of everyone slow clapping in unison and Kat's slow whistle of a sexy tune made him aware that he wasn't getting out of this. Eyes focused on Starbuck's, he slowly and teasingly started to raise the hem of his shirt while bumping and grinding his way over to a happily amused Starbuck.
Okay..the Hollywood Reporter just broke the news that tomorrow SciFi will officially announce that Season 4 is the last season.
While my heart is breaking, I'm grateful that the writers/producers have the chance to give us one kick ass final season with a 2 hour movie and 22 episodes!!
They get to go out on their own terms. Nothing will be contrived.
*sniff sniff*
I read that at the Sci-Fi BSG website and thought of how they would finish it in 1 season. I just hope they don't do something completely stupid with it.
As I was reading about Blake 7, a British sci fi show in the late 70s and early 80s (and a damm good one) the people who made it it, made it it orginally with only 3 seasons but were surprised when the BBC wanted another season.
With that in mind, they made the ending in such a way, that it finsihed on a cliffhanger.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY10pMsq3N8
Also, Blake 7 was called the anti-Trek.
I have been reading about some prograammes on Wikipedia and noticed a bit about a spin off series from the new Galactica show.

I just found this and thought it was a bit funny.

Thanks for the info Met. Will let DH know as he has been following the show and was disappointed to hear it is being canned.
I have been watching the first season yet again and realise something. The Cylon Detectior isn't working properly.
The reason for this is that the first person was Boomer who was discovered to be Cylon, BUT, surely the four Cylons that were undiscovered at the end of the third season and the 5th Cylon (whoever that could be) would have been discovered by the Cylon Detector by now.
Now I know what people going to say......that Baltar (hiss, hiss, boo, boo) would pretend that they were human, BUT, he doesn't know who are the final 5 Cyclons though.
This has me very perplexed and can't wait until the end of the series.
Oh by the way, does anybody that it has been 30 years since the first showing of the orginal Battlestar Galactica?
If not, all I can say is let's a grab bottles of ambrosa and sing Happy
to Battlestar Galactica and
to Battlestar Galactica and
In my usual fashion, I didn't twig to the new Battlestar Galactica until the first season was nearly over. Most of what I know about it comes from reading episode recaps on televisionwithoutpity.com. (I will rent the episodes someday...) I can only think that the writers will have to make it such that either the detector never could do what Baltar claimed, or that these particular cylons are somehow different and only they could escape detection. I find myself wondering, in light of how such a fuss was made about Sharon's baby, if Callie and Tyrol's baby is also a hybrid. Can't wait for season 4!
OOoohhhhhh, Cally and Tyrol's baby. Never thought of that. You really should rent the episodes at some point and watch every single one including the Razor episode.
the first epiode I saw was on the Battlestar Galactica site over at the Sci-Fi channel and thought that it was different, but after seeing the first season on Sky Three I actually got into it.
And ever since I just love it. You will love it as you are a Condor and thertefore love explosions. Those pesky Swans love Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama, while this Eagle is madly in love.....I mean like Kara 'Starbuck (nothing to do with selling coffee)' Thrace.
Robot Chicken has done a bloopers section of the original .BSG.
Originally posted by Metaliant You really should rent the episodes at some point and watch every single one including the Razor episode.Yes, I should. I missed Razor when it aired back in the fall (I'm an idiot) and I've since heard that it has lots of interesting hints, especially regarding Kara.
Yes it does but you will have to see it. There's now way you can bribe me to tell you at all......except free alcohol......Doh!
