The Return of BattleStar Galatica (2003)

Re: The Return of BattleStar Galatica (2003)

The battle scenes are just too costly to make them any longer, they have to save some $$$$ for the 3 or 4 other important space battles that will probably happen this season.

I know some people would prefer the combat scenes to be the main course of the show, but its really the dessert.

By the way, for what I want in a show, last nights episode is as good TV gets, in Sci Fi or any genre.

That's just it, when they do have space battles they're too short. I never said I wanted the combat scenes to be the MAIN course. IF I did, I would'nt have watched every single episode of this show. I'm simply stating that when they DO have combat I'd like more. Simple as that.

And I agree AA, when the Galactica dropped into the atmosphere like that, we (my wife and I) were like COOL! That was awesome.

I wasn't implying that you were one of those folks, sorry if it came off that way, but you're right about the Galactica atmosphere drop, anyone who didn't say "WOW!!!" when they saw that should be checked for a pulse.

I thought it was hella cool how Adama jumped into the atmosphere to launch fighter support for the resistance fighters then jumped out. Ballsy. ...

Yeah that was pretty sweet. I actually thought the air battle in the skies of New Caprica was pretty cool too. Not very long, but a lot was going on when they showed it. Jistic, one of these days they'll have a big space battle. At least I hope so. I don't know if they have enough Vipers and Raptors to pull one off though, do they?

Re: The Return of BattleStar Galatica (2003)

There was probably way too much going on in that battle to focus on a lot of space fighting. Now that they're off the planet, there should be plenty of opportunities for hot Viper on Raider action.

Ooooh boy. Great episode tonight. Next week looks like it will set the storyline for the rest of the season. Won't spoil anything for those that haven't seen tonight's episode yet or the preview.

I love the grittiness this season. Even darker than before. I still think Starbuck and APollo will end up together sometime down the road (after he's dropped 30 on the treadmill)

-I was under the impression the Chief knew Gaeta was the informant and it always seemed wierd to me that he kept dissin' Gaeta back on New Caprica. Well now I know.

-Jammer got what was coming to him.

-On the preview for the next episode, the Cylons say they want to make Earth their new home. Why? Couldn't they just live on Caprica or the other planets they nuked since the radiation wouldn't be a problem.

I thought about that, but it somewhat makes sense that they would want to live where they were likely created. We don't know that though, do we? I don't know the old BG story at all so I have no idea if they were created on earth or at some colony. And, if they hate humans, why not take over their homeworld?

Great episode last night. DARK and GRITTY.

Characters from Season 1 and 2 are starting to drop like flies now.

And yes...Jammer got what was coming to him.

Re: The Return of BattleStar Galatica (2003)

So it appears tonight begins the race to Earth? I can't wait!

Balter should've said,"If I go to this base ship, I don't wanna here anymore talk about you killing me!"

[Jistic]

Re: The Return of BattleStar Galatica (2003)

SO far this season is the best out of the three. There is no other TV show that delivers on a weekly basis like BG. I just can't wait for next week, which is how I feel every week.

Re: The Return of BattleStar Galatica (2003)

Couldn't agree more. I was a little suprised that Baltar said he saw nothing worthwhile after coming back from the base ship. Then Six sees the canister in the photos he took. Now she's going to have to decide whether or not to tell the other cylons since Baltar lied to them. Baltar's humanity returned. I love this show.

One thing I thought of when Six was explaining about projecting was the episode from last season when she was seeing Baltar on Caprica, like he sees her. How did that work? He can't be a cylon because he didn't get sick after going to that base ship so how was she seeing him like that. Also, I wonder who the original 5 cylons are. Is the one controlling the base ship Baltar is on one of them?

Re: The Return of BattleStar Galatica (2003)

You'd have to think that Baltar didn't get sick because of his suit. The virus wasn't just inside the base ship because the raiders in space were infected. Sharon also had here suit which was why she wasn't affected when they jumped to the location.

Just my thoughts.
