@lmackenzie89 It's a bit like comparing apples and oranges. The old show was heroic space opera, while the new show was a gritty war drama. All depends on personal taste.
@lmackenzie89 Too bad the new show could never even come close this beautiful musical arrangement for a theme song for a TV series. I hate pot face as adama rly?? LMAO. he's a good actor but far too fucking ugly to be in this role
i read online and on twitter that a new Battlestar Galactica Movie fo the theaters next year based on the Original show.The reply to that is " AWESOME ! "
Galatica was Apple Pie wholesome, the characters were Great and the Galatica herself is a Theatrical Quality Ship tha will fill the Seats at the Theaters.
@Maridianokusho asked: "Who can name the shown persons?" I can!
Let's see... we have Thirty Something Looking White Guy, Thirty something Looking Black Guy, Hot Chick Number One, Lorne Green, Hot Chick Number Two, that Terrorist Dude, Hot Chick Number Three, and the Sex Change Operation Dude (pre-op).
Oh yeah... and in the background, Aspiring Actor Dude, putting in his dues and thrilled as shit to have gotten the gig even though the costume chaffs his ass.
By the close of the twentieth century, construction of colonies on the lunar surface had begun and with this colonization came a new era in space travel. As our story opens, Mayflower 1, the first passenger shuttle to the moon, prepares for its maiden voyage--a voyage filled with hope, yet destined for disaster.
Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far away, Princess Amoura lay back in her bed as the handsome young knight entered the room. The princess slipped off her robe, revealing her silky white thighs. The knight embraced her roughly, and began to caress her soft, round...
Where would the Original Galactica have been Constructed ? At the Caprica Spaceyards ?
Where her Sister Battlestars ; Columbia, Atlantia, Pegasus and Triton have been Elsewhere ? The Original Series is still Theatrical and Epic and Impossible to top when it was at it's Best. What could happen Next in the Original Galactica Universe ? Too bad we never got to see an episode set onboard the Galactica in the Early days of Adama, Tigh, Cain and Kronus when they were Fighter Pilots themselves.
Throughout the new version the hybrids and various characters kept saying 'All of this has happened before and will happen again.'. I look at that as a way of saying why couldn't the original series have happened first? Ridiculous I know but it shows you don't have to discard one series over another. Having watched the original 'movie' I noticed they did try to be gritty but within boundaries 70's family shows had to abide by. Sure it's cheesy and cheap doesn't mean one has to kick the other out
Listen, I haven't watched the original series. But the new one showed so much about how humanity is flawed. And the whole religous war was pretty awsome. The new one kicked ass. And anyone who couldn't understand it really makes what the cylons did justified.
Imagine if this song was playing at the time of the D-Day invasion against the Germans. I think the Germans would have surrendered right there and then.
So what? Dislikes are obviously nowhere near important and that's something you should know at your age by now. When the heck will people realize how irrelevant dislikes are?!?
>>>>>>>>>>>>"Frakking cylons."
Cyclons don't exist, dumbass. Again, you should know that at your age. Screw you and those who agree with your unnecessary comment.
The original pilot had some promise, & as a child I had some hope a series w/ the quality of the original Star Wars was possible. That didn't happen, it went down hill super fast. It got stupider w/ each episode. The robot dog really ruined it. I had some hope the new series would improve it, but it was even more muddle headed then the original product. I think the ScyFy channel has some totally clueless writers.
The Only Actor who could play the Part of the Rogue Battlestar Commander that the Entire Human Race had Thought Long Dead would be Robert Conrad.
The Colonial Battlestar Pegasus ( almost like the Submarine Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues under Captain Nemo......) had been thought Destroyed years before far from home along with it's Commander and Whole Fleet. Instead of allowing himself to be Killed and his Ship Destroyed. He Fled into Deep Space to Fight another Day. Legendary Actions they were...
I like them both too for different reasons. However the first part of the new one confused me until I figured out Starbuck was a hot chick. Dirk aged well lol. Too well.
This theme song made a crap load of cameos in the re-imagined series, many of which were used on the wireless news networks. It was even played during the flyby during Galactica's retirement ceremony. Bear McCreary also managed to include elements of the theme into his compositions.
Whenever I see the Galactica fill up the screen Im half expecting it to have a number plate on the back that says "We brake for nobody!" like in Spaceballs!
This version leaves out the 7-note (repeated) "preamble" to the main theme that was heard both on the tv-pilot and the theatrical version. It was played before and then after the main theme before the voice-over prologue (there are those who believe...) which had its own flute/strings theme.
The old theme one of the best ever! I love it! I was so dissapointed with the new BSG. If they ever make a movie I hope they use the original as the blueprint for it.
how the hell on earth could 17 people NOT LIKE THIS? You all must be dead is all i can come up with...very strange people. This classic theme goes much further out than EPIC, it's bigger than EPIC lol....stunning piece of music, full of life and positivity, and it doesn't half uplift your soul...AMAZING music...cheers for this :-D
@lonepantherkmt since i have friends who are homosexual, i actually don't have a problem with "fags". your attempt at insult is meaningless. you may as well call me "Black" or "Jewish" and expect me to be insulted. silly person.
i dont care what anybody says. both series are great pieces of science fiction. the original is fun, light hearted, family fun. just fun to watch and enjoy. the cheesiness and "crappiness" in design is part of its charm. the new one is dark, gritty, real. a totally different style but that doesnt make it "better" just different. both are equal in my view
@awestcody You said it better than I could have ever said it. The idea that science fiction is all about exploring the darkest parts of humanity is completely ridiculous. I think we need to revisit the old science fiction shows like the original Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers to find out why they were so successful, compared to many of today's sci-fi television series.
@awestcody I disagree. The new one is insulting to what I grew up. Fine if you want to make a new show with crappy computer effects etc....etc.. but at least change the name and characters. Don't take something I grew up with and make it all dark and ugly, make a new show. I also can't stand the CG animation in these new shows and movies , to me it looks glossy and not solid.
Damn it , Why did I discover BSG, and BSG 2004-09? Now I want to buy the Vipers and action figures!! :D Fortunately I have the complete DVD box set of BSG 2004-09
The original theme song is so much better than the new version. The new version is whiny and bitchy sounding, whereas the original is full of victory and battle.
@Boogra The original theme was full of optimism, hope and grandeur. The new theme, as with the new series itself, was tailored for an audience of whiny, bitchy 20-somethings and was full of cynicism, depression and defeat. What a difference a couple of decades makes.
@DaveMail42 It's a show about nearly the entirety of humanity being literally annihilated by its own mistakes. Depression and defeat are kind of like, the whole point of the show.
@DaveMail42 Yeah because shows back then were so much better uh? Fag type clothes and cheesy lines yeah so much better. Old nostalgic fuck! No I am not knocking on this show, but it seems your generation did more damage than anyone else generation, now we have to fix your mistakes because you couldn't live up to the previous generation.
@evilfreddy2006 Well, if you want to fix my generation's mistakes (how was it you put it--"more damage than anyone else generation"--what is that?), you'll have to quit whining over some dead-and-gone, lame-ass remake show, move out of your mother's basement, get a job and go to WORK, junior! Young ignorant fuck.
@starwarsfan117 not really the original was really disappointing the original startreks are way way way better. and thats going far. the reimagined series is completely different from this uh hem "crap"
@starwarsfan117 The original series, by today's standards, is corny and simplistic. It wasn't Star Wars or even remotely epic, just good ol' escapist fun. It taught the virtues of hope and optimism, and of people working together under very adverse circumstances for the betterment of everyone. Worthy values, past or future. :)
@DaveMail42 Well then i guess the old show was designed for kids, because Humanity fighting in space against evil robots bent on their annihilation would not have much optimism, hope or grandeur. It would be desperate, frantic and inglorious.
@DaveMail42 Speaking as a fan of both the Original and the Re-Imagined Battlestar Galactica here.
The depressing and defeated feel of the Re-Imagined series made the ending much more impacting. Humanity was brought to the brink, but pulled through the tragedy despite the odds against them. They took the fight back to the Cylons, and even though they were outnumbered and outgunned managed to cripple them as well. In spite of the set backs, there was a happy ending. Thats my opinion anyway.
The survivors were marooned on an alien planet with no technology or supplies to speak of. How many of them died from exposure, disease, starvation, and attacks from wild animals and natives? All trace of their civilization was erased. The Cylons left in their baseships to spread out and colonize the entire galaxy.
@leestewart72 We saw the results of the colonist's choice to abandon their technology, it worked out. We will probably never know what the Centurions did, based on the level of intelligence they showed throughout the series they most likely crashed into something.
If you can call a 150,000 years to go from nothing to our society today working out. The fact that so much time went by shows that nothing of their knowledge or society remained. Basic agriculture didn't even begin until around 8-10 thousand years ago. They contributed nothing to our society.
@leestewart72 You are reading into it way too much, its the ending to a TV series not some important work of literature. I thought of it as a happy ending, Humanity lived on and the conflict with the Cylons was resolved. The fact the show even had an ending was great, the Original Series didn't have one at all.
@DaveMail42 I like both shows to be honest, grew up with the original series. And really got into the new series ....and I hear Bryan Singer is developing a big screen movie version.I'd pay to see that... with this theme on the soundtrack of course.
I see what you mean about negativity......the scene where the woman is diagnosed with breast cancer is a classic example of how far detached the new series was from the last........breast cancer on Battlestar Galactica? dear-o-dear! And Starbuck as a woman? Gimme a break! I actually felt better watching an episode of RPA! (real life surgery program). Some people have forgotten how to have fun....and thats the tragedy.
@DaveMail42 Ahh, you hit the nail on the head, my friend. The older series was made during a time of Romanticism. Today we have neo-realists and cynics who are part of the existential crowd of nihilists.
That´s true. But still. I like the new series a lot more because it was depressive and cynic and makes the original series look like the Adam West Batman series in comparison to Nolans Batman version. Don´t get me wrong I like both for what they are.
I assume you never really viewed the re-imagined series. If you saw how it ended, you might have had a different understanding. The re-imagined is technically more realistic, and terms like starsystem and quadrant aren't just thrown around. The show became famous far beyond bitchy 20-somethings. I am an original fan, and was in tears of joy at the end of the series, considering the revelation of Earth. You might try to watch the run, before dismissing 5 years of success.
It appears to me that all of the women from the original Battlestar Gallactica were more prettier and attractive than the new one. BTW, awesome theme to an outstanding TV show.
@TheLastOfTheFinest80 Attractiveness is subjective, not objective. What you see as attractive may not be to others, therefor the greater general attractivenesses of female actors from either series is indeterminable.
It's your taste and I don't denied it but I prefer the new cast, especially Katee Sackhoff.
The original theme is great but the dramatic new one seems fitting as the intro since it's the near extinction of humanity... the original theme fits the serie ending of finding earth (they did hint about it when the fleet was going into the sun)
Yeah from left to right in the picture as the '78 orig. cast it's: Tony Swartz as Flight Sgt. Jolly, Herb Jefferson Jr. as Lt. Boomer, Anne Lockhart as Lt. Sheba (she was so cute!), Lorne Greene as Cmdr. Adama, Maren Jensen as Athena, Richard Hatch as Capt. Apollo, Laurette Spang as Cassiopeia, and last but certainly not least Dirk Benedict as Lt. Starbuck. Missing Terry Carter as Col. Tigh and the beautiful Jane Seymour as Serina, Sarah Rush as Flight Cpl. Rigel the "launch when ready" lady.
This was great, the music superb and I have such great memories of the shows. I just can't seem to like the ney version, nothing compared to the original!!
What a nice theme! Maybe a bit "slow" in the middle, but surely the first and final part are worth! I think I'll watch the movie based on the original Galactica as soon as it comes out!
This is by far the best theme song ever written.

The old BSG theme is nice. But the new BSG as a story is better. More realistic. Sci-Fi used to be so cheesy.

The original theme song is so much better than the new version. The new version is whiny and bitchy sounding, whereas the original is full of victory and battle.
Boogra 11 months ago 6
@Boogra The original theme was full of optimism, hope and grandeur. The new theme, as with the new series itself, was tailored for an audience of whiny, bitchy 20-somethings and was full of cynicism, depression and defeat. What a difference a couple of decades makes.
DaveMail42 11 months ago 33
@DaveMail42 It's a show about nearly the entirety of humanity being literally annihilated by its own mistakes. Depression and defeat are kind of like, the whole point of the show.

@DaveMail42 Yeah because shows back then were so much better uh? Fag type clothes and cheesy lines yeah so much better. Old nostalgic fuck! No I am not knocking on this show, but it seems your generation did more damage than anyone else generation, now we have to fix your mistakes because you couldn't live up to the previous generation.

@starwarsfan117 The original series, by today's standards, is corny and simplistic. It wasn't Star Wars or even remotely epic, just good ol' escapist fun. It taught the virtues of hope and optimism, and of people working together under very adverse circumstances for the betterment of everyone. Worthy values, past or future. :)

@DaveMail42 ...i did not know shows taught values...hehe
starwarsfan117 9 months ago
@DaveMail42 Well then i guess the old show was designed for kids, because Humanity fighting in space against evil robots bent on their annihilation would not have much optimism, hope or grandeur. It would be desperate, frantic and inglorious.
Anyway, both themes kick ass.

@DaveMail42 Speaking as a fan of both the Original and the Re-Imagined Battlestar Galactica here.
The depressing and defeated feel of the Re-Imagined series made the ending much more impacting. Humanity was brought to the brink, but pulled through the tragedy despite the odds against them. They took the fight back to the Cylons, and even though they were outnumbered and outgunned managed to cripple them as well. In spite of the set backs, there was a happy ending. Thats my opinion anyway.

The survivors were marooned on an alien planet with no technology or supplies to speak of. How many of them died from exposure, disease, starvation, and attacks from wild animals and natives? All trace of their civilization was erased. The Cylons left in their baseships to spread out and colonize the entire galaxy.
leestewart72 9 months ago
@leestewart72 We saw the results of the colonist's choice to abandon their technology, it worked out. We will probably never know what the Centurions did, based on the level of intelligence they showed throughout the series they most likely crashed into something.
Smathalgoth 9 months ago
If you can call a 150,000 years to go from nothing to our society today working out. The fact that so much time went by shows that nothing of their knowledge or society remained. Basic agriculture didn't even begin until around 8-10 thousand years ago. They contributed nothing to our society.
leestewart72 9 months ago
@leestewart72 You are reading into it way too much, its the ending to a TV series not some important work of literature. I thought of it as a happy ending, Humanity lived on and the conflict with the Cylons was resolved. The fact the show even had an ending was great, the Original Series didn't have one at all.

@DaveMail42 I like both shows to be honest, grew up with the original series. And really got into the new series ....and I hear Bryan Singer is developing a big screen movie version.I'd pay to see that... with this theme on the soundtrack of course.

I see what you mean about negativity......the scene where the woman is diagnosed with breast cancer is a classic example of how far detached the new series was from the last........breast cancer on Battlestar Galactica? dear-o-dear! And Starbuck as a woman? Gimme a break! I actually felt better watching an episode of RPA! (real life surgery program). Some people have forgotten how to have fun....and thats the tragedy.

That´s true. But still. I like the new series a lot more because it was depressive and cynic and makes the original series look like the Adam West Batman series in comparison to Nolans Batman version. Don´t get me wrong I like both for what they are.

I assume you never really viewed the re-imagined series. If you saw how it ended, you might have had a different understanding. The re-imagined is technically more realistic, and terms like starsystem and quadrant aren't just thrown around. The show became famous far beyond bitchy 20-somethings. I am an original fan, and was in tears of joy at the end of the series, considering the revelation of Earth. You might try to watch the run, before dismissing 5 years of success.

@TheLastOfTheFinest80 Attractiveness is subjective, not objective. What you see as attractive may not be to others, therefor the greater general attractivenesses of female actors from either series is indeterminable.

It's your taste and I don't denied it but I prefer the new cast, especially Katee Sackhoff.
The original theme is great but the dramatic new one seems fitting as the intro since it's the near extinction of humanity... the original theme fits the serie ending of finding earth (they did hint about it when the fleet was going into the sun)

Sheba (she was so cute!), Lorne Greene as Cmdr. Adama, Maren Jensen as Athena, Richard Hatch as Capt. Apollo, Laurette Spang as Cassiopeia, and last but certainly not least Dirk Benedict as Lt. Starbuck. Missing Terry Carter as Col. Tigh and the beautiful Jane Seymour as Serina, Sarah Rush as Flight Cpl. Rigel the "launch when ready" lady.
