I hope you’ve checked them out Rowdy and enjoyed them too !

Haven't gotten to order them yet, but going to! :salute:

Re: Saga of a Fugitive Fleet - 4 Audio Dramas - OUT NOW!
 

Are these like old-fashioned radio plays?

Re: Saga of a Fugitive Fleet - 4 Audio Dramas - OUT NOW!
 

That could be a good way of describing them.

I’d call them first person audio dramas.

Re: Saga of a Fugitive Fleet - 4 Audio Dramas - OUT NOW!
 

They're very well-done and as I've said before, even with the limitations they have (can't mention the characters by name etc.) it nonetheless is truly hearing the original cast play these roles again after so many years and letting us in part experience what we'd hoped to have seen happen 25 years ago when more of the people were alive and could have participated in something. I know in my case, what this drama has done has help remove the bitterness I felt for so many years regarding the Moore series. That's not to say I feel any differently about the Moore series as an end product, but the fact that I'm finally getting a chance to experience something with the original cast in something more than just a short trailer and which also if you listen carefully gives "confirmation" to my favorite post-HOG vision regarding the future of certain characters, is a LOT more than I could have hoped to experience at this stage.

Thank you again for making this possible. I look forward to finding some time when work settles down to go through a second listening of this.

Wow...guess i need to pay more attention. Didn't realize this was done.

I will have to check it out!

:)

You'll enjoy it! A lot of care went into this and in the end, even with its limitations, it *is* a lot of what we'd always hoped we'd have one day, which is the original cast doing their roles once again. And I've found that the fact we have something like that is of itself a kind of vindication and the end result is that if I still had any bitterness in me because of Moore, it isn't there any more.

Re: Saga of a Fugitive Fleet - 4 Audio Dramas - OUT NOW!
 

Went through my second listening of the whole saga the other day and enjoyed it even more! This time, the linkage between Kalgan and Baltar resonated more and made me appreciate better how each story ultimately built off each other.

As I said before, the real joy about having this to listen to and return to is that whatever bitterness I once had about the existence of the Moore series is no longer there because as a fan, there is something tangible out there that features the original cast returning to these roles one more time and offering a reminder of how special they were in bringing the characters of the Galactica universe to life.

These are truly awesome.

If you (yes you, the person reading this) bought a copy, please leave feedback for ernie!

Re: Saga of a Fugitive Fleet - 4 Audio Dramas - OUT NOW!
 

Certainly all feedback is gratefully received!

On a Gamma Frequency?

If you haven't bought the CDs yet, get them! And if you do have them, and know of other Galactica fans in need of a Christmas season gift......this would be the perfect item.

I enjoyed going through it a second time and I even for fun did a little audio re-editing so that Tigh's initial journal entry begins with some music underscore from the original series. Could never be done "officially" I understand but it helped further cement in my mind how the final project, even with the limitations it had to operate under is a true Galactica effort.

I'm on my third listen now, and each new one helps bring out more things to appreciate in terms of how ingeniously the stories were constructed even with the limitations were placed.

I've also gone a little further in experimenting with some Stu Phillips cues over certain scenes and found that the cue for the passage through the Nova Madagon works perfect for the sequence of escape from the space station in "Fail Safe". Also a nice cue from LPOTG-Pt.1 for the close of that story as we hear the final report on what was found.

Re: Saga of a Fugitive Fleet - 4 Audio Dramas - OUT NOW!
 

I got these for Christmas last year and have listened (so far) to the first two; I can't recommend them enough to everyone here on the forum, which unfortunately seems to be a continually dwindling number. You will NOT be disappointed.

I took the liberty of updating the Wikipedia entry on the "Space Mutiny" movie to acknowledge the "Saga Of A Fugitive Fleet" adaptation as part of its overall history.

Enjoy it! We all owe Daniel a debt of thanks for giving us the closest thing to closure we could have asked for in terms of a cast continuation.

I appeared again on the IFB video podcast last night with fellow fanfic author Fran Levy and once again made sure to get some praise in for what "Saga" has meant to the fan community. Co-host Chris Moore showed off his copy of the printed script.
