Ever wondered why those Cyclons always misses their target? Look at their eyes for goodness sake! How do they aim when their eyes kept moving from left to right?
I don't know why everyone thinks Cylons are so stupid because they need three of them to fly their ships. They were good enough to wipe out the 12 Colonies and almost all of the Colonial Fleet. The Galactica only survived because it turned tail and ran. Really, what exactly was Adama going to do to protect the colonies with NO VIPER support? He was even dumb enough to drop shields next to an EXPLODING Battlestar! And it's the Cylons that are stupid????
If you're going to be true to the original series you can't show different maneuvers. You have to show the same shots over and over again. Just saying.
This is another fantastic video based on Battlestar Galactica. Whoever made it must be referring to the last battle between the forces of good and evil.
The old centurions are just so hilarious. I mean, three of them share a ship where they talk to each other in generic robot voices instead of networking with the ship itself, and on the top of that they can't seem to hit anything with their "lasers". No wonder the cylons decided to make the raiders and a new generation of centurions before attempting to attack the colonies again.
@SternMann93 Well, for that matter if you want to be smart about it why even have them on the ships? Why aren't the ships automated? Fact is these guys provide a 'face' for the enemy, and having them communicate with one-another lets the audience get insight into what they are doing/thinking. It's for dramatic effect, not realism. Another fact - these guys looked badass.
@SternMann93 it's called showmanship, creativity, and ENTERTAINMENT you asshole! Your stupid argument is like saying Data in Star Trek should have been a part of the main computer of the Enterprise instead verbally talking to it all the time.
35 Years Later People still like the Original Galactica Tale. It was Cancelled for all sortsof Reasons, Money etc.,Copryright Problems, etc. But what we saw as an Audience was Just Great. There were some Klunky Stories. The Good Stories were hamoered by Censorship and Non Violence Family Hour Rules of the day. But now, 33 years later. Original Battlestar brought back, Unchained, would be a Runaway Cash Making Property. a Total Hit. Apollo would Command the Galactica with Starbuck, Boomer as #3
Yeah cuz the original was such a hard hitting series drama, with no love interests,no kids, no families and husband wife drama, oh wait, that's right.. they had alot of that. maybe if you ever watched the entire new BSG you wouldn't make such a blanket stupid statement. I love the old show, i'm 48 years old. The new show however is damn amazing. One of the BEST TV shows i have EVER SEEN.
@glennjridge - The original Cylons couldn't hit a target with a tactical nuke. I liked the idea of turning the Raider craft into Cylons themselves ( Ep. " Scar " in the RDM version ).
@glennjridge The entire point of BSG is that we destroyed ourselves. TOS by being foolish and wedded to peace (a message VERY relevant today), the new version by our utter lack of morality.
this was the real cylon attack, why did they make the other 2010 version in stores for anyway, i had hoped they put the real game out, who ever designed this was a real hero, Please tell me where i can find the this game at? thanks
I seem to remember the cylon ships required three occupants, in order to equal the ability of one human pilot. They seem to be more than a match, however, in your fan film. It makes the fight's outcome much more uncertain, the fate of mankind much more precarious. :)

Along the way ,the Journey would be Dangerous, Adventurous and Full of Excitement.
@FantasticBob7000 The Govermnent of the Twelve worlds would have had a Fallback Contingency Plan in Case the Twelve Colonies were Directly Attacked ,Invaded ,or Destroyed. How Many Decommisioned Battlestars were Retired and Placed in Protective Storgage in Secret Locations where no one ,not even Adama would have known about ? That way their Existence would be Secure . They would be Reactivated when needed. 1,000 Year of War would have prepared the Humans for Anything.
Excellent! New movie in 2011? The Gods would display their love for geekdom with a new BSG movie.
p.s. Herb Jefferson JR (original Boomer) was in Tulsa this month for the sci-fi con. Truly a gentleman. He's down to earth but knows his impact on the sci-fi community.
A Colonial Battlestar would be able to defeat a Cylon Base ship any day of the week. The Battlestar Pegasus thought long destroyed must hav survived after her Commander went Berserk and singlehandedly Destroyed 2 Cylon Base ships.
he would have run decoy action after the events of The Living Legend Part 2.

It's unbelievable what can already be done, and I have no doubt that within 1 or 2 decades max, fans will be able to make their completely own movies, identical to the original, with lifelike humans and all.
It will cause some legal problems, but hey..in the end it's just a movie:)
Hehe, ok my answer was to the "fans will be able to make their completely own movies, identical to the original", I didn't realize that "lifelike humans" meant you wanted the actors to be created using computer graphics too.
George Lucas problems stend from the fact that no one knew what he was doing. Also, he was forced to cram three movies worth of ideas (and throw many out) because he knew that the other nine planned movies were unlikely to be made.
@drbotanus Thanks for mentioning George Lucas.I like to know where did he get the stupid Jar Jar Finks idea.I agree with you about the Vampire episodes.The public will let the publishers know when they had enough.
holy frak! This makes me want to break out my old copy of Battlestar Galactica on the XBox. This is how they should have done the CGI scenes. Extremely well done!!!
@petrus4321 The movie won't be until 2012/2013. Glenn Larson's still looking to do a deal with Ron Moore, which would be a dream team situation for what will be about the first Cylon war.
@Tim733733 On one of the websites Larson now has full rights over Galactica again.He was never a fan of Ron Moore's version.If the movie or new TV series is not made then plans are to release the new episodes on DVD only.So far no news as to whom is in the cast.
@quarqill That's a shame. Could be potentially horrendous if he attempts to revamp it yet again. It was a gamble as it was with the RDM revamp, but at least it worked. Take him out of the core and it'll lose it's edge.
@Tim733733 Speaking of Ron Moore,he is talking about going back to writing episodes for StarTrek.Fans hate him because he wrote the episode in which William Shatner's character Kirk was killed.I bet Gene Roddenberry is turning over in his grave.Plus Larson's version on DVD is outselling the remake and even Star Wars.By the way,Larson already had Galactica written 10 to 15 years before Lucas created Star Wars but Universal Studios at first wasn't interested in Larson's project and Lucas knew it.
@Tim733733 In fact speaking of George Lucas knowing Larson had Galactica already written,Lucas offered Star Wars to Universal Studios but was turned down because they were committed to Galactica.Larson offered to help Lucas get Star Wars off the ground in exchange Lucas work with Larson on Galactica but Lucas said no.Many are asking if Lucas knew Larson already had Galactica created why he sued?Larson was also a successful writer/producer and hadbig connections that could help Lucas..
@gabrich1991 Glenn Larson the creater of BSG is producing a movie based on the classic Battlestar. I guess he was really pissed at Ronald moore for screwing up Battlestar by turning it into a soap opera.
The problem with the new series is it rewrites history. And that is never a good thing. Personally I think it would have been better as a BSG side story, which the original BSG had open anyway, when they brought in the BS Pegasus.
The problem was the new series showed the worst in humanity. BSG was about humanity overcoming its differences to survive. GINO pretty much made the survivors into backstabbers and motivated by self interest rather than the greater good. At least the classic series made them have a alien culture rather than just earth people of today with spaceships
And the whole "Humanity is doomed to make the exact same mistakes over and over again" ending was pretty crappy.
So let me ask you this. Cylons come and destroy your home world and you are living whats left of your life in a cargo container going one day to the next. The reason they are kicking each other in the teeth is because nothing is certain, and that leads to fear, which leads to panic or mob mentality. I like that there are no aliens, not to mention Boxey and Muffet....
Really though, we ARE always going to repeat our mistakes is because we are human. The show focused on that.
The Galactica itself is the sexiest spaceship EVER. It is the most efficient design, and the command center is deep inside. Well protected from harm. Everything is Manuel, and the submarine aspect is really appealing due to PRACTICALITY. Don't forget that the Galactica is pushing 50 years during the show where as in the original it was state of the art. I wish I had more space, because I could tell you off all night.
You are right about history being rewritten and so did Larson's creation.He wrote in his story the Cylons were created by a reptile race.Moore changed it to where the Cylons were created by humans.If you have the 3 hour version of the original Galactica with Apollo telling Boxey about the history of the Cylons,case closed.Moore screwed up everything.
You're correct. The Cylons (were never told what they were originally called) were reptiles that resembled Imperious Leader. They started replacing their bodies with cybernetic parts, until, after many generations, they were completely machine & have synthetic reptile brains. The Imperious Leader's (there have been 3 that we know of) are the only Cylons that still have organics & flesh, but underneath they are the same computer & endostructure as the "IL" series Cylon Lucifer.
@quarqill The writers were as involved with the changes more than anyone. Sometimes you write something that turns out to be beyond the budget and you must compromise. Galactica 1980 was a compromise on Glen Larson's part. He knew that shooting episodes in LA and on the studio back lot would be cheaper and allow his show to continue, while at the same time allowing him to use some of the ideas he had to abandon from year one.
Had Galactica 1980 continued, with the fleet fleeing Earth instead of searching for it, in order to lead the Cylons away, it would have returned to something more like the first show. With some scouts from Galactica stranded on Earth in some episodes and the fleet stranded outsid our solar system in the others. Might have been interesting.
@drbotanus It was reported George Lucas had the same problem with FOX when he was making Star Wars.The studio also screwed up Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned.They refused to give her more control on how the story should go.Plus NBC was to make a number of her Vampire stories into a mini-series but the new owners scrapped the plans after all of the contracts were signed.
I am friggin sick to death of Vampire shows, Vampire teen movies and shows. Romantic vampires and anything with Vampires in general. The market has been vamp-saturated for seventeen years. Enough is enough.
Mucho mejor que el bolazo ese que empezaron a hacer en el 2003... cylones mujeres...pero por favor!!! que falta de respeto. Estos viejitos si que lucian malos, y se veian como robots.
True. BSG was created to ride the wave of success Star Wars created. Even Starbuck and Han Solo were cut from similar cloth.
But it's like LEGO toys. It doesnt matter if the pieces have been used before, it's how you assemble them that matters. And BSG still made its own unique identity with an impression left on pop culture thats lasted to this day.
The new series is cheaply made crap. Doesn't look like Sci-fi. The girl in the red dress is pretty but please. I'll take Classic Boltar and By Your Command any day.The CGI is so obvious. Just like the new Star Wars effects. However. Those models and puppets that were used looked real. I hate the corny cursing. "Frackin"". The old one was a great ideal. Sort of paralleled ancient astronaut theories of Egypt that many experts had.
Oh don't be such an idiot. You know for a fact that what you've just written there is bollocks in every way. 'Cheaply made crap' and effects 'just like Star Wars'. You're talking out of your arse and you know it.
Hey, hey, hey. What's will all the profanity. I meant the NEW STAR WARS "REVAMPS" NOT THE ORIGINALS. iT WAS MY OPNION. I DON'T USE CRUDE COMMENT ABOUT YOUR OPNIONS, WHY DO USE IT WITH MINE?
Wow...now this is what I'm talking about....Original B/G!!! This animation was awesome....you should do more like the clone wars cartoons. This was BETTER than watching the newer B/G!!! Hands down, I love the classic Cylon, raiders and vipers!!!! Someone at the Sci/Fi network should seriously do a Pre-quel series of the 1st war in the Era of Apollo and Starbuck and all the classic 70's stuff!!!
Give me a squad of the Old Cylons and a few Base ships and they would destroy the new series,they were tougher then the new Cylons they were just Mean and Bad!!
@RevFlowerjoy They were such a cliche.Honest.Why a machine have to be bad?Well a cylon is beyond that.They have free will.We are XXI century.Dont live in the past
@RevFlowerjoy What, they are going to kill the newer cylons with their stock footage and cheesiness? The cylons from the old series cannot stand up to the newer ones even if the technology in the newer one isn't as higher up as the older one. And besides...at least it isn't a cheesy Star Wars rip off.
And the new series isn't a rip off of Wing Commander?
Seriously, both incarnations have the same core story: A desperate retreat to a mythical planet which happens to be our own. That wasn't in Stars Wars or Wing Commander. True, they can dress it differently to cash in on the current trends, but it's that core story is what makes BSG truly unique from other sci-fi shows.
Personally, I wouldn't mind them using CGI to enhance the original series. Stock footage did get boring..
That is an excellent point, I never considered Wing Commander. The flight suits from Battle star do look oddly familiar to ones from Wing Commander.
This is true, a lot of movies and t.v. shows these days have been made with a lot more realistic feel. Battlestar also went with the trend...but did it incredibly well.
I have to tell you though, the plot isn't unique to Battlestar, Macross, an amazing anime series, also uses it.
@SamusDrake They have not announced when the feature film version of Galactica made by Larson is coming out this year.He is getting help from Bryan Singer and Tom Desanto who did the X-men series
@Deathknight400 - It'd be more correct to say that the Original used ideas from Star Wars. That was back when SW was connsidered fresh & new. Original BSG also used some ideas from Lost in Space, Star Trek & perhaps a little - known Canadian - originated series called " The Starlost ". If they do another remake of BSG, maybe they should find a balance between some of the Post 9 - 11 edginess & the slightly " campy " (?) flavor of the original BSG, as well as terminology like " yahrens ".
I got something to say. Not one Viper got a shot in to a Cylon, not one. Come on now, you mean to tell me not one Viper wouldnt take a shot on a Cylon? I mean where did they think they were going to go? Apparently there wasn't any Battlestars waiting for them much less helping them so why bother going into deep space rather than die fighting. LOL one Viper did fire and that was to get the asteroid out of his flight path. So much that did for him. Nice animation otherwise.
I rooted for the Cylons in the first show, and now that they include some totaly hot babes, it just gets better! I think the guys on the Galactia must be gay. I mean really if I was being chased by a Basestar full of Sixes I would let them catch me!
I think the Cylon Raiders and the Vipers from the original series looked so much better than the ones from the new series. The classic Cylons were pretty badass, too. Love the Cylon voice.
You got that right...someone at Sci/Fi network should seriously think about doing a 1'st war Pre-quel series......taking place where the old 70's left off. That would bring in some serious ratings!!! I'd love to see guys in Cylon costumes get'n blown up like the old shows...that was classic!!!
There is still some confusion on whether there will be a Galactica feature film or not.Universal Studios may tie Glen Larson's hands behind his back and still give us the crap Ron Moore puts out.
What angers me about Universal Studios is that this franchise is Star Wars biggest competitor and they should give Larson the money time to write the scripts and have complete control over his project.
I agree...pretty cool!!! If only someone could show something like this in which the Galactica takes flight along with the other ships preparing into space for the first time...that would be cool to see....thanks!! :)
Stu Phillips told me that Glen Larson did not tell him whether he has a script ready for the Galactica feature film nor the cast.Just for him to be ready to do the music if Universal Studios greenlight the project.
That series was cheezy.

It's unbelievable what can already be done, and I have no doubt that within 1 or 2 decades max, fans will be able to make their completely own movies, identical to the original, with lifelike humans and all.
It will cause some legal problems, but hey..in the end it's just a movie:)

George Lucas problems stend from the fact that no one knew what he was doing. Also, he was forced to cram three movies worth of ideas (and throw many out) because he knew that the other nine planned movies were unlikely to be made.

@petrus4321 The movie won't be until 2012/2013. Glenn Larson's still looking to do a deal with Ron Moore, which would be a dream team situation for what will be about the first Cylon war.
Tim733733 1 year ago
@Tim733733 On one of the websites Larson now has full rights over Galactica again.He was never a fan of Ron Moore's version.If the movie or new TV series is not made then plans are to release the new episodes on DVD only.So far no news as to whom is in the cast.

@quarqill That's a shame. Could be potentially horrendous if he attempts to revamp it yet again. It was a gamble as it was with the RDM revamp, but at least it worked. Take him out of the core and it'll lose it's edge.
Tim733733 1 year ago
@Tim733733 Speaking of Ron Moore,he is talking about going back to writing episodes for StarTrek.Fans hate him because he wrote the episode in which William Shatner's character Kirk was killed.I bet Gene Roddenberry is turning over in his grave.Plus Larson's version on DVD is outselling the remake and even Star Wars.By the way,Larson already had Galactica written 10 to 15 years before Lucas created Star Wars but Universal Studios at first wasn't interested in Larson's project and Lucas knew it.
quarqill 1 year ago
@Tim733733 In fact speaking of George Lucas knowing Larson had Galactica already written,Lucas offered Star Wars to Universal Studios but was turned down because they were committed to Galactica.Larson offered to help Lucas get Star Wars off the ground in exchange Lucas work with Larson on Galactica but Lucas said no.Many are asking if Lucas knew Larson already had Galactica created why he sued?Larson was also a successful writer/producer and hadbig connections that could help Lucas..

@gabrich1991 Glenn Larson the creater of BSG is producing a movie based on the classic Battlestar. I guess he was really pissed at Ronald moore for screwing up Battlestar by turning it into a soap opera.
kdraper2007 8 months ago
The problem with the new series is it rewrites history. And that is never a good thing. Personally I think it would have been better as a BSG side story, which the original BSG had open anyway, when they brought in the BS Pegasus.
usernamunavailiable 2 years ago
Glen Larson's feature film version will be out in 2011.
quarqill 2 years ago
The problem was the new series showed the worst in humanity. BSG was about humanity overcoming its differences to survive. GINO pretty much made the survivors into backstabbers and motivated by self interest rather than the greater good. At least the classic series made them have a alien culture rather than just earth people of today with spaceships
And the whole "Humanity is doomed to make the exact same mistakes over and over again" ending was pretty crappy.
ReverendSyn 2 years ago
So let me ask you this. Cylons come and destroy your home world and you are living whats left of your life in a cargo container going one day to the next. The reason they are kicking each other in the teeth is because nothing is certain, and that leads to fear, which leads to panic or mob mentality. I like that there are no aliens, not to mention Boxey and Muffet....
Really though, we ARE always going to repeat our mistakes is because we are human. The show focused on that.
afropower88 2 years ago
The Galactica itself is the sexiest spaceship EVER. It is the most efficient design, and the command center is deep inside. Well protected from harm. Everything is Manuel, and the submarine aspect is really appealing due to PRACTICALITY. Don't forget that the Galactica is pushing 50 years during the show where as in the original it was state of the art. I wish I had more space, because I could tell you off all night.
afropower88 2 years ago 7
You are right about history being rewritten and so did Larson's creation.He wrote in his story the Cylons were created by a reptile race.Moore changed it to where the Cylons were created by humans.If you have the 3 hour version of the original Galactica with Apollo telling Boxey about the history of the Cylons,case closed.Moore screwed up everything.
quarqill 2 years ago
You're correct. The Cylons (were never told what they were originally called) were reptiles that resembled Imperious Leader. They started replacing their bodies with cybernetic parts, until, after many generations, they were completely machine & have synthetic reptile brains. The Imperious Leader's (there have been 3 that we know of) are the only Cylons that still have organics & flesh, but underneath they are the same computer & endostructure as the "IL" series Cylon Lucifer.

@drbotanus The studios should leave the story the way the writer made it.
quarqill 2 years ago
@quarqill The writers were as involved with the changes more than anyone. Sometimes you write something that turns out to be beyond the budget and you must compromise. Galactica 1980 was a compromise on Glen Larson's part. He knew that shooting episodes in LA and on the studio back lot would be cheaper and allow his show to continue, while at the same time allowing him to use some of the ideas he had to abandon from year one.
drbotanus 2 years ago
Had Galactica 1980 continued, with the fleet fleeing Earth instead of searching for it, in order to lead the Cylons away, it would have returned to something more like the first show. With some scouts from Galactica stranded on Earth in some episodes and the fleet stranded outsid our solar system in the others. Might have been interesting.
drbotanus 2 years ago
@drbotanus It was reported George Lucas had the same problem with FOX when he was making Star Wars.The studio also screwed up Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned.They refused to give her more control on how the story should go.Plus NBC was to make a number of her Vampire stories into a mini-series but the new owners scrapped the plans after all of the contracts were signed.

True. BSG was created to ride the wave of success Star Wars created. Even Starbuck and Han Solo were cut from similar cloth.
But it's like LEGO toys. It doesnt matter if the pieces have been used before, it's how you assemble them that matters. And BSG still made its own unique identity with an impression left on pop culture thats lasted to this day.

@RevFlowerjoy What, they are going to kill the newer cylons with their stock footage and cheesiness? The cylons from the old series cannot stand up to the newer ones even if the technology in the newer one isn't as higher up as the older one. And besides...at least it isn't a cheesy Star Wars rip off.
Deathknight400 1 year ago
@Deathknight400
And the new series isn't a rip off of Wing Commander?
Seriously, both incarnations have the same core story: A desperate retreat to a mythical planet which happens to be our own. That wasn't in Stars Wars or Wing Commander. True, they can dress it differently to cash in on the current trends, but it's that core story is what makes BSG truly unique from other sci-fi shows.
Personally, I wouldn't mind them using CGI to enhance the original series. Stock footage did get boring..

@SamusDrake
That is an excellent point, I never considered Wing Commander. The flight suits from Battle star do look oddly familiar to ones from Wing Commander.
This is true, a lot of movies and t.v. shows these days have been made with a lot more realistic feel. Battlestar also went with the trend...but did it incredibly well.
I have to tell you though, the plot isn't unique to Battlestar, Macross, an amazing anime series, also uses it.

@Deathknight400 - It'd be more correct to say that the Original used ideas from Star Wars. That was back when SW was connsidered fresh & new. Original BSG also used some ideas from Lost in Space, Star Trek & perhaps a little - known Canadian - originated series called " The Starlost ". If they do another remake of BSG, maybe they should find a balance between some of the Post 9 - 11 edginess & the slightly " campy " (?) flavor of the original BSG, as well as terminology like " yahrens ".

I got something to say. Not one Viper got a shot in to a Cylon, not one. Come on now, you mean to tell me not one Viper wouldnt take a shot on a Cylon? I mean where did they think they were going to go? Apparently there wasn't any Battlestars waiting for them much less helping them so why bother going into deep space rather than die fighting. LOL one Viper did fire and that was to get the asteroid out of his flight path. So much that did for him. Nice animation otherwise.
