Yes let us hope so. I mean it, this series has a lot of potential if given a chance.

What?.. post padding thread? I'm innocent I say, it's not a silly thread, it's the foundation for the new cantina... wait a sec, the cantina is going to be a silly post-padding thread when it opens, so I guess your right, and it looks like we're off to a great start if even you think it's silly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

But it's a happy thread, really, it is.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I don't know if you saw the BSG Lowdown special, but Dirk was in it, and he didn't look in too good of a shape. I don't know if he has any health issues, but he sure did look sickly in that special. He's no longer The Face, that's for sure. Hopefully in the year or so since that was filmed, he has fared better and looks better.

As far as Richard Hatch, I know someone mentioned that he would appear in the series, but I didn't know when. When I saw the episode the other day, I was wondering why they were giving that terrorist leader such a close-up. I didn't recognize him at first. True, it's been 27 years since BSG's been out, but I just couldn't see the old Apollo in that face. Hopefully we'll see him from time to time during the length of the show.

AT, I still don't know what kind of satellite hook-up you have, but I sure wish I had it. So far in the states, they've only shown 3 episodes, and here you go seeing all 13. Don't give out any spoilers, though, as I want to be surprised as you were. Hopefully we won't have to wait a year after the season is over for the dvd to come out.

Dirk Benedict probably looks terrible (I don't know for certain as I haven't seen a picture of him for years, except a b-grade tv movie once) because he uses a special diet. I can't say for certain that it is the same one, but he follows one of those diets like eating nothing and only drinking water for 3 weeks. He once had colon cancer and he swears the special diet got rid of it.

Re: New Galactica Series
 

Actually he still looks like Dirk. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif A bit older, but still like Dirk. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I do hope they find a guest spot for him. Perhas as the Lead cyclon design, Cyclon human model 001. Oh that would be a real gas.

Re: New Galactica Series
 

I agree. He looks very much as he did when he was younger.

Re: New Galactica Series
 

Dirk did a lot of promo work for the new BSG and appeared in the making-of special scifi had for the miniseries. He's aged a lot better than Hatch.

Re: New Galactica Series
 

I must have watched a different making-of special, because the one I saw Dirk didn't look like Dirk. Of the two, I say Hatch looked better, although he looks more rugged.

I'm liking this show. It's more realistic and military oriented than the original. Also, it keeps you in suspense. and the religious overtures are missing. The only thing I can't figure out right now is why they're keeping "Helo" alive. Is it just for experimental purposes, or is something more sinister afoot? Maybe they're observing him so they can make another Cylon model. Can't wait to find out.

Re: New Galactica Series
 

i like the religious overtones on the story.

Re: New Galactica Series
 

Yeah, otherwise you've just got a bunch of people on some ships.
