Nice comparison but surely Muffit would be 1 Rover 1 but better. Also I think Starbuck is less like Jason/Joe but heck what do I know and who would be Redsquadron Finaly since I don't have Sky 1 or 2, I go to the Sci-Fi channel's website for Battlestar .

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!!

When I heard about the new series, I was like you Lola. 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

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.

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........

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!!

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.... *sigh* Hugs Imi What do you hear Imi?? Nothing but the rain? Grab your gun and bring in the cat.... Boom, boom, boom!!

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. *grins*

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 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 Birthday2 to Battlestar Galactica and Party1

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.

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.
