I totally agree. Loved hating Starbuck for the entire series run.
They had some seriously evil characters in that series. Tory and John
being foremost in my mind. Dean Stockwell was brilliant. Caprica pilot
aired here as a 2 hour movie on the space channel. Try one of the
Torrent sites if that floats your boat. Had a tough time sitting
through it, moved very slow if you ask me. Once you get a chance to
see it let me know what you think. The Raiders were so well done and
the battle scenes were breathtaking. Made the final battle of Deep
Space Nine look like an old bugs bunny/Yosemite Sam cartoon. What did
you think of the New Star Trek? there's probably a thread here...if
not here's the perfect opertunity to start a discussion on it eh? LOL
BTW..I loved it and hated it. Why later.
It was a love / hate relationship with Starbck here too, and was it just me or did you think they forgot all about the Starbuck situation in the last few episodes (not to give anything away) and then thought "Oh sh!t, Starbuck..." and rushed to write her conclusion ?
The space battles in BSG just blew my mind, I still go back and watch them time and time again now. I can remeber my son telling me BSG was no way better than Star Wars, then I let him see the epic 2 Battlestar combat scene and watched his jaw drop -Dad won for once YES !!
As for the new Trek movie, I liked it, I hated it.
Whats with all this Hollywood crap of "lets go back and remake it from the begining" are they running out of ideas or what ?
I really liked Silar
as Spock and totally hated what they did with Mr Scott -just what was that walking turd come umpa-lumpa he had as a side kick, it was almost as bad as bloody jar jar binks !
The new (old) Enterprise Hate it !
The Romulans who looked nothing like Romulans Hmmm...
Kirk was quite well handled and in several scenes I thought he was totally over the top yet so damn like the original kirk -the scene where he eats the apple especially.
Anyhow I rant on...
Will watch Caprica as soon as it hits my screen here
