New Galactica Series

In regards to galacticas shortness of vipers & pilots:

I am willing to bet sometime next season they will do a remake of "The Living Legend"

The episode involved galactica meeting up with another battlestar, the pegasus, and engaging two basestars. Basicly, by the end of the episode (a two parter) Galactica had just about all of pegusus' fighters transferred and it looked like pegasus was destroyed.

The episode was one of the best of the originall series and if translated well could produce a powerfull couple of episodes.

Yeah, but who would play Commander Kain? Lloyd Bridges died a long time ago, and even if Jeff Bridges was interested, he doesn't have the bombastic personality that Lloyd seemed to have in most of his roles. Who do you think would make a good Kain? I've been thinking about this for awhile, and I still don't have a clue as to who would make a good Kain. Since everything else in the new show has been revamped, modified or modernized, I suppose that means Kain doesn't have to have the same personality. But I still can't think who would make a good Kain right now. It will interesting to see who gets cast in the role.

Possibly a woman the way things were revamped

But seriously Kain was cool with the personality he had, sure it got his whole crew killed and cost the fleet a second battlestar to protect them And SURE his battlestar combined with the power of Galactica could probobly have allowed them to establish a MUCH better defensive position against any future cylon attacks, but his bombastic who cares attitude was still neet. (end sarcasm)

I might point out that his sacrific is the only thing that allowed the survival of the galactica.

If I recall corectly his sacrifice only was neccesary because his arrogance put them in a bad situation in the first place. Adama wanted to be safe and keep running but Cain talked him into attacking. Except that the baseship they were attacking turned out to be two baseships and they almost lost both battlestars. At least that's how I remember it.

Rumor has it that there is going to be a cameo by Dirk Benidict where he plays as the legendary Commander Kain. DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH.

"Six Degrees" - another fine episode. I can't believe how tense and uncomfortable a well-written/tight episode can be. Not to mention that characters TAKE TIME TO HEAL!

it just keeps getting better... should be interesting season two... as the first one ended rather quickly...

Tell me about it! It's a shame that they only ordered 13 eps for this season. Last I heard they've ordered eight (so far) for the next.

Last I heard, SciFi ordered a full 20-episode season.
