You mean Baltar actually works?

A gripe with the old series.

They had less than two season under thier belt for running across the stars and the civilian council of 12 were already calling it quits.

You know, the SciFi channel takes a lot of flak. And some of it is deserved. But it occurs to me that they do a pretty darn good service to science fiction fans. Look at the friday night lineup. Four straight hours of original programing. I can remember as a teenager we had one UHF station that showed star trek reruns once a week at 11PM on the and the occasional 3AM showing of the Forbidden Planet. Now we have so many shows that we have the luxury of being choosy and griping over the few that shows they produce that suck.

Anyone wtached the Darklight mini-series from Sci-Fi? i read some reviews saying it is crap... but, comparing with the BG series it is better or worse (or in the same level)?

I ask because i read reviews bad things about BG and when i watched i found it a good show (my only gripe are the scenes where the camera keeps zooming in and out at random... it makes me dizzy)

You mean in the space scenes? I quite like that, It's a nice touch in my opinion, I also like the way they use music (mainly percussion and drums) in the titles, tense moments and space battles. It's quite original

Yeah I love it too. Did you see (of course you did) that extreme zoom in of the Galactica at Ragnar station, after the FTL jump in. The huge Galactica was still small against the storm background, just beautiful photography.
I keep seeing intresting teasers from upcoming episodes. Hero doing some urban combat with cyclons. Starbuck trying to fix a messy looking (bio ship?) spacecraft. Baltar requesting a nuke? Can't wait! I love this show. DANG! I work tonight!

Do what I do, turn on the VCR, record Galactica AND the rest of the shows. I don't have to work, but going out on Fridays keeps the significant other happy. You know how it works.

The latest episode - Richard Hatch guest-stars, which should come as no suprise if anyone has seen the opening credits. I enjoyed this episode as well. Very tense writing. I also enjoyed the two SG episodes prior. Any chance of a Replicator shipset, AT?

Still happy. And I agree, Geo. Sci-fi will be complained about; it's the nature of the fanbase. In the end, I would guess that most are happy it exists, despite it's imperfections.

Just a quick note for those who commented the distinctive style of the CG work. It's done by a studio called ZOIC, which first created the "handycam" style for Joss Whedon's SF series Firefly. In fact, the ship from Firefly has a cameo in the miniseries.
