Watch it again on Sunday. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

If I think about it I will tape it.

Unless you don't remember? I already said I don't intend to sit through a repeat jsut to catch a single line.

I haven't seen any of the old BSG episodes, but I'll have to check them out.

I really liked the abbreviated mini-series. The idea has been done before, though - ala Bladerunner... which, incidentally, was based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick, published in 1968, so I think it beats out BSG as far as the timeline of Ideas go. (Sorry CNCRaymond. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif )

I watched the first episode captivated, and then watched it again... keeping me up long past when I should have been in bed, dreaming about SEIV. I did the same with the second episode. I'm a bit disappointed that they changed the storyline, but for someone that didn't know the original plot was changed, it does the trick nicely.

Now, if someone would only pick up Farscape... *sigh*

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I was speaking in terms of Movies and television, but you are correct, the book did come first. However though, Bladrunner was loosely, very loosely based upon that book. I think most ideas are spawned from books, comics, old myth lore and so on. Never under estimate the power of a book.

Geoschmo I am so sorry to have been a source of frustration to you. If I had known, I would have posted the quotes sooner. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif My apologies.

"He is fraking lieing!"
"By the Lords of Cobalt this not happening to me."

Oh by the way, I think Frelling is a much better curse word than Fraking. And I to hope that Farscape is picked up and continued soon. Even if Sci-Fi decides to produce a series based on this new BSG, there track record with support is very weak. I hear they are now talking about dropping Stargate SG-1.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">While I am a big fan of Stargate, and will be disapointed when it goes off the air, it has a pretty long run if you take into account the seasons that aired on showtime. I think it's maybe in the top 5 sci-fi shows as far as the number of episodes aired.

I heard they are working on a replacment series. Something to do with Atlantis. Not sure how that ties in with Stargate though.

Re: Battlestar Galactica **Spoilers** discussion
 

Sci-Fi: worst television network, ever.

Re: Battlestar Galactica **Spoilers** discussion
 

Stargate has been around for 7 years and with the end of next season it will be 8 years so that's better then ANY of the Star Trek series which were the top sci-fi shows of all times regarding numbers of episodes aired.

Yes in their recent little blurbs of their upcoming events we saw "Stargate Atlantis".

Maybe Atlantis is another planet or this series takes place far in our future or something....I sure hope they don't go back in time and cover the lost continent of Atlantis as that would just be corny....unless they were covering the Goua'Ould wars of old :-).

As for Farscape as I said the Last season stunk so they should hav eended it a year earlier.

Re: Battlestar Galactica **Spoilers** discussion
 

I thought that Part 3 of BSG was to be on tonight. Are there only 2 parts?

I don't know about Farscape, I never really got that much into until it came out on DVD. I have not seen any of the Last season.

Re: Battlestar Galactica **Spoilers** discussion
 

Yes, BSG had only two parts. Got to wait for the series to find out what happens.

Ah man, we were short changed!!!! I want more damn it! NOW!
