This is also THE FIRST EPISODE!
They have to give some sort of plot. There have been many many many shows out there that the first episode or two, sucked..then got better..So give it time!
Bandit LOAF said:But ugh, it was bad. You can see the awful writing session - "Hey, how do we know the Cylons are evil?" "Well... what if... they kill a BABY! For... some reason! Yeah!"
It was the first episode... of a two episode miniseries. I don't think it's physically possible to give it much more time.
ChanceKell said:Most of the complaints I read from SciFi.com's BSG board is that "Oh, Starbuck is a girl! The Cylons are created by man! IT TOTALLY DESTROYS THE ORIGINAL SERIES!"
Bob McDob said:I actually liked the jerky-motion cam thing, but there weren't enough exploserions - in Battlestar Galactica, there are supposed to be BATTLES.
Bandit LOAF said:I don't think 'TOS' can refer to anything but Star Trek.
Bandit LOAF said:But the new movie takes place after the original Battelstar Galactica.
I'm still fairly confused by that. If it's an attempt at a continuation, why are all the same characters there?
ChanceKell said:Humans created Cylons. Cylons revolted. Cylons looked exactly the same as in the original series, but instead of faking an armistice and making a sneak attack (like in the original series (and much like StarLancer...)),
they just leave. That's where the likenesses between the two series ends.
ChanceKell said:Adama's callsign, if I can remember from the Viper "present," is Husky. Could be wrong, but it's not Apollo.
I know I'm causing more harm than good here, but it's like how the WC Movie isn't a movie version of the game, but as an alternate story.
