THIS IS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. No hermaphrodites, no nymphomaniacs or closet homosexuals. No boring political intrigue or ancient soap opera plots, just a wholesome entertainment

Even though its really old school, it's a cool scene. I liked how close matched they were, Galactica and the BaseStar.

[TommyMaverickMusic]

@BlackValkyire Uh, they weren't closely matched at all.

@BlackValkyire Yes it is a cool scene However according to Baltar, a Base Star is more powerful than a Battlestar, The only reason they won is because Starbuck & Apollo knocked out the Basestar's Scanners allowing for a 1st Strike, otherwise The Basestar would have won, But The Pegasus did take on 2 under Cmdr Cain, only by steering between both of them and firing missiles at Point blank range, though Starbuck & Apollo did take out some of her weapons.

@coyran Babylon 5 is a really good series. it is a 5 year story arc about the last of the Babylon stations and more importantly the raise and fall if empires. the series it's self has a multilayer ed storyline that is really well written and thought out. It is also one of the first scifi series to use CGI on a large scale. if you can look past the primitive cgi you should really enjoy it. you should find it in stores and the good news it should not be all the expensive.

@Crusnik2000

I'm sorry to say I've never really watched Babylon 5, which is a shame because I imagine I'd really enjoy it. As for Blakes 7, it really is a shame sky dropped it for more wholesome family bullshit.

[Crusnik2000]

@coyran thank you for clearing that up. you are right they should do a reimangining of Blake 7 and a restoration of Babylon 5 with updated CGI. even though they Babylon 5 has aged well it would be Spectacular with Galactica Level CGI wouldn't you agree?

[coyran]

Did anyone think that they'd destroyed the baseship in one shot at 0:59?

@Crusnik2000

I never really said that the original was better, just that this finale was quite epic. Like yourself, I appreciate the reimagined version for it's characters behaving like actual human beings (something often lost in sci-fi). Ultimately I'd say I prefer the reimagined version too, but I always enjoy a classic 70s sci-fi. On that note, I wish somebody would reimagine Blakes 7, that would be a potential gold mine!

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome is coming in 2012. It is about the first Cyclon war. 

[Crusnik2000]

@coyran also I've read that the reason why they made Galactica 1980 is that is was a cheaper show to produce and screen thus the story was extremely clunky at best. Anyways, can you tell me in your opinion in your own words why the original is better?

[Crusnik2000]

@coyran they canceled it because it was too expensive for the audience numbers back then at least that is the official story. i have seen both the TOS and Moore's Reimagined version of the series. I like both but i like Moore's verson better. (then again i am of a younger generation). I like the more realistic Characters and the political intrigue to me it makes the story that much more complex human and over all more interesting and realistic.
