OT: BSG Series

Atrocities · #1 December 12th, 2004, 03:36 AM

I have to say that this new BSG series is, well, a disappointment of epic proportions. Not that its it a bad series, it simply is so low budge that its almost laughable.

It is just done so dirt cheaply that when you watch it you have to ask yourself "what were they thinking?"

Its really sad that they have to use modern day terms, equipment, and locations becuase they don't have the $$ to do it right.

One actor was actually smoking a ciggerette.

Didn't Starbuck smoke cigars in the original?. yeah I know Starbuck is now a woman (among other things) . When you say the budget is low are we talking B5 low?.

AT, I totally disagree with you about the new BSG. I think that they're doing an excellent job with it. So far the stories have been more...human, for lack of a better term. Much better than the original.

Why do you say it seems to be low budget? And what does a cigarette have to do with it?

I agree, I watched it and I quite liked the dark and gritty feel to it. Bastille Day so far has been my favourite (The prison ship), but I never saw the Original BSG. I still enjoy this series though

And I'm shocked we got this programme before you

SG1 started their eighth season long before we got it.

We should be so lucky. SG1's 7th season started here 2 days ago (I think. Anubis ship attacked Kelowna and was destroyed)

I did say that it was not a bad series. The writing is great, very engaging, but the locations, clothing, weapons, jargon, terms, and so are all low budge. Hell even Farscape on its limited budge always seemed to have alien looking locations, even on human looking planets. The show is done on the cheap and that is a shame.
