I was just got into this show in like th epast 2 weeks, borrowing the DVDs off christians jetta...

Anyways this series is the fucking bomb...

...I just finished season 2, 2.5 whatever...and i may be able to get through season 3 before season 4 premieres on friday

this shit is probably the best show on tv.

If they done away with that annoying zoom in shakey camera angle shit it would be more watchable. You seen that episode where some old cylon fighters and cylons appear? Don't think ive ever seen shittier cgi in years, apparently it was too hard to use a couple of the old cylon costumes.

its a tv show...its not a movie...and probably has the best cgi of all the shows on tv.

Yeah so why not use the costumes instead of the incredibly cheap cgi? Ive seen those fucking things on ebay for christ sake.

wow, pretty much everyone who has watched the series from the beginning has said this for a long time.

everyone who hasn't seen it goes "scifi is gay" etc. battlestar galactica is for fags.

the show is amazing. no doubt. season 4 is the last season. it will be the most groundbreaking of them all.

season 3 was one of my favorites. and the last episode before season 4 is mind blowing.

about cgi, it is without a doubt the best cgi for a tv show. and may nearly match a movie, especially the past season. if you're talking about the pilot episode or season 1, they obviously had a limited budget to work with. not 100's of millions of dollars like a 2 hour movie gets.

The episode im talking about was from season three i think, 2 of the old raider ships show up along with an old base star i think.

hmm, i don't recall. i've only seen season 3 once. but i have the dvd's so i will watch it again sometime and watch for it.

Just watched the two BS prep shows (forgot what they where called) last night and I'm excited and sadden that this is the last season.

However next 3 Friday nights I'm in Vegas and how much do you want to bet, they don't have the SciFi channel at Treasure Island...

I picked up last years series on Itunes and watched most of the episodes on the plane back and forth between coasts, looks like I'll have to do that again.

The episodes were called razor i think, season 4.

TGB! · 03-30-2008, 10:42 AM

The CGI in Razor wasn't that bad. They were on screen for what a total of 10seconds maybe. And it was more a nod to the folks who actually watched BSG in its original run (and not in reruns) than anything else.

Its certainly a better (written/acted) show than Lost, but it could use more "omg" moments that aren't limited to season ending cliffhangers and made for TV movies (Razor). It's a shame NBC didn't start airing it on Sundays like CBS (which owns Showtime) started airing Dexter - which has been a success.

ninty · 03-30-2008, 12:03 PM

ohh, i see what you're talking about now. i'll have to rewatch that sometime.

I agree that there aren't many omg moments throughout the season, but the show itself is pretty epic and they have managed to pull off something special with the cast they have and the writers. And it's something that a lot of people can enjoy. I certainly am.

rudedog · 03-30-2008, 12:28 PM

Just found out that they will not be offering the seasons series on Itunes

I guess, I'm forced to try and find it by other means......

Pyro · 03-30-2008, 05:41 PM

Ok...what is Razor btw? is this the kinda inbetween season 3 and season 4 filler?

I was a fucking idiot though...i saw on space channel a one hour show called battlestar galactica the phenomenom...and i should of known that it would recap what happens in season 3...so i kinda screwed myself in terms of surprises...

TGB! · 03-30-2008, 10:25 PM

All RAZOR is, is what happens prior to Pegasus finding Galactica as well as Kendra Shaws (the star of the flick) tenure as XO aboard Pegasus. However, the subject matter in the film covers several time periods, and the final scene hints at what MIGHT occur in Season 4.
