BSG was much better than DS9, though DS9 was decent. Just cant compare the two at all. BSG every episode tied together, with DS9 many episodes had nothing to do with any other episodes.
The Defiant uncloaks in front of Galactica, easily repels it's nukes and viper attacks, disables it's FTL drive, holds the battlestar with it's tractor-beam and threatens to launch a photon torpedo (yes, one would be enough)...
DS9 is b y f a r b e t t e r than BSG. In fact, DS9 is the best Star Trek series ever because of its outrageous actors ( Odo, Garak, Quark, O'Brien, Dukat) and sometimes gloomy, dark vibrancy. BSG is technically perfect in every aspect and Olmos is great, too, but I miss charism, heart, humor and romance.
I'd consider changing it to Bajor. There's a lot of suggestion, especially in the last few seasons, that even people like Sisko himself are beginning to consider not just Deep Space Nine but Bajor to be their home. Otherwise, spot-on. I've seen a lot of these crossover openings but this one is easily my favorite. Easily.
Wow you almost matched the BSG opening shot for shot. The scene where Sisko braces himself after the Defiant is hit and the runabout shoots through the corridor is almost identical to the shot of Adama bracing himself and the Vipers being launched. That's just amazing
Well done very professional, DS9 was my favourite of the Treks and BSG is my favourite of all, especially the 1st 4 episode of series 3. Just shows what a good soundtrack does for a show.
Damn. Everywhere i check on youtube its the second version of the opening. I really don't wanna have to download bsg again just to hear the first (better than second) opening again. Is there anyone here that knows a vid with the first bsg song? thank you
Actually ...And maybe even surprisingly ...This really works!!!
First of this type that I've seen that does.
Well done, well put together and well thought out!
Saying that. It's amazing what can be done visually once the whole series is in the can. You had much more to play with than the DS9 folk had at the time of making their intro.
Nevertheless I still congratulate you and if I had my way it'd be changed to something akin to this in a flash!
Holy Shit. When most folks post a mash-up video, the most you can hope for is that they edited the show to at least somewhat the credits.
With THIS one; I damn near had to remind myself that DS9 had a different theme. It was that good. I'm almost sitting there like, "When the hell did the Federation go to war with the Cylons??"
Very well done!!! FYI BSG > most television series. It's called 4 seasons of pure story advancing, the one thing that every television series should have more of...
@everlastt It's called the Gayatri Mantra, it's a very very old Hindu prayer written in a dead version of Sanskrit called Vedic-Metre. Some scholars say it could be as much as 6000 years old, though the first noted mentions are about 4000 years ago. I think it was Eddie Olmos who suggested that they use it and it was basically the last music Richard Gibbs wrote for the show before Bear took over. In the UK this was the theme from series 1, not 2 as in the US, so really it is the original.
i saw this when you posted it and iloved it so much then and i love it even more now just cuz both shows mean so much to me this i fantastic and it will always will be
both BSG and DS9 shares a lot of creative talents. Besides one being more formulaic, and the other is more open for anything to happen, the two shows are very similar and explores a lot of the same topics.
Especially when it comes to religion, terrorism, racism, population displacement, social class discrimination and other wonderful topics.
So I have trouble understanding why fan of one show can have so much hate for another. The only difference is DS9 the darkest trek is still happier.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
May I say this is WAY better than watching Bullshit Gallactica any day!!! Epic way to turn something crappy like BSG into someting VERY awesome, like a good opening for DS9! I think this trumps the true opening for the show! Well done!!!
BSG wouldn't even be around if it wasn't for DS9. Both shows are fantastic. I find it difficult to choose one over the other. I guess when BSG was still new and fresh I would have said that it was superior, but now that time has passed I realize that BSG wasn't exactly perfect either.
Perfect intro. Actually, I think both series share quite some similarities. Dark in tune, war as a constant threat, a continuing story arc...I love them both :)
I like mine, you like yours. That's what the comments box is for, after all. You don't like Janeway, ok. I think Sisko and the rest of his moronic crew are fucking retards. I'm entitled to my opinion, and you are entitled to yours. But I dont think Sisko is inept, and Janeway sure isn't. I just don't like the dickhead.
For the record, she hardly ever gets people killed. If you watched, you'd know that.
Now, calm the hell down, for your own sake, not for mine.
Sisko was a dick, sure. But I did watch enough episodes to understand that Janeway had no problem sacrificing her peons for the sake of her idealsRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaRRRRRRRR NERD RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL. I was gonna type 'Nerd-Rage' if you answered me, but you beat me to it!
NERD RAGE!!!!! ::)
I disagree with you, and I can't recall a single episode where she did what you claim, (and I've seen them all more than once, I love Voyager) but hell, we live in free countries, and I have a sense of humour. Seem you do to! Let's agree to disagree, ok? YT can so often become a place of nasty and unnecessary arguments. Nice talking to you. (<- No sarcasm there, that's genuine).
Nevermind me, I'm just bitter because Spike stopped airing DS9 at 3 in the morning and my DVR somehow reset itself, erasing all those episodes of BSG. Yeah I'll agree that we both enjoy ST, just different shows, and leave it at that.
Ah, its all making sense now. Sorry to hear about your DVR troubles. I've had similar issues with my Skybox. I love technology, but sweet zombie jesus, it can really jerk us around....
