Flawed to be sure, but a as perfect an introduction to the Battlestar Galactica universe as there could have been. Love the Athena locker-room scene, i'd like to dream about it :tongue:

I soooooooooooooooooooo agree ..........by the way Welcome to the
fleet cdlegend! :thumbsup:

What really struck me was how well the characters worked together.

I really liked the way all the characters seemed to know precisely where they
belonged and why .........I really loved learning more about HOW that was
accomplished by watching the extra features on the DVD set I bought.

god bless maren i pray for her and always loved here in that show she dated don henley of the eagles in the late 70s early 80s she has credit as a writer on the song down on the sunsett strip better than any of the teen queens today

god bless maren i pray for her and always loved here in that show the seens in saga and plant of the gods of here in her pruesser suit are better than any of the teen queens today :heart: :love: :cylon: :milk: :halo: in the commatary by drik /herb /richard they all say how nice see was i myself had a freind who helped set up a party see was at in the last 80 yearns i have met only 2 or 3 wemen more kind or openhearted yhwa bless you maren this old tanker really misses you on the bridge happy saint paddys day battlestar forever :warrior: :thumbsup: :)

I agree with you about Maren. I was really bumbed when Larsen
threw out the Adama family out of the script. I missed Athena and boxey.

Also ........I agree with you about how beautiful she is. I too think that she
is far far prettier then the 'teen queens' of today.

They mentioned somthing on the BG sciography special that it was Jane's agent who encouraged her not to remain.

And NOW Kingfish ...........I hate her agent. :duck:

i agree, should we send her agent for a thwacking??????

A THWACKING is too good for her agent.

I was thinking more along the lines of a collective KICK in the agent's
ASSETTS! :devil:

ouch, that'll leave a mark


:thumbsup: :salute:

Hopefully my size 9 boot will do the job :D

The BG premiere was loads of fun to watch, and got the show off to a good start. But it did begin to reveal what would be a continuing pattern of not paying too much attention to details.

1,000 Cylon fighters attacked and destroyed the battlestar fleet? Not too likely! That isn't near enough fighters to do the job. And there were no equivalents of bombers or torpedo planes, just the Cyclon fighters strafing the battlestars. Not nearly enough firepower.

And the Colonial home worlds were destroyed by strafing? That was just ridiculous. The mini did better by introducing nuclear weapons, which was pretty obvious but TOS failed to pick up on it. The show just didn't have any sense of realistic proportion or scale.

One thing I did like, though, was the clear preaching of military preparedness. It wasn't very subtle at all--it was obvious to any observant child that the "peaceniks" were stupid, while the truly wise men like Adama did not love violence but knew that sometimes it had to be used. And in case anybody missed that lesson with the destruction of the Colonial home worlds, they reviewed the lesson when the new Council, ignoring the lesson they should have just learned, chose to lay down their arms to show their peaceful intent at Carillon. Again, only Adama's stubborn insistence on military preparedness saved the day. Since I happen to agree with Adama's philosophy, I liked the direction the show was headed.

Just a minor clarification, Thomas, it wasn't 1000 cylon raiders - it was, in Apollo's words, "1000 to 1 odds".

If memory serves. ;)

Ah, memory is such a fun tool! I have an old videotape of the episode, but haven't watched it for a while. You may be right I remember Apollo saying that while all the Cylon raiders starting showing up on the radar screen. So, 2000 raiders vs. Zack and Apollo? Still a small number. Should have been at least 100,000.

Oh, and another thing about the "peaceniks". A buddy of mine pointed out that when the U.S. fleet entered Tokyo Bay to accept the Japanese surrender, the carriers kept a full combat patrol in the air at all times, just in case the Japanese, even though totally defeated, pulled something funny. He found it impossible to "suspend disbelief" at the idea that the battlestar fleet would keep all their Vipers on deck to demonstrate their peaceful intent.
:salute:

I do believe you are right Dawg. Just finished watching that dvd myself and
I do believe that's exactly what Apollo said. :thumbsup:

suggestion for fan fiction
 

Chip Johnson plays a Warrior in one of the elevator scenes in "Saga," the one in which Answaw and her friend talk about having eaten too much. The elevator is taken to the ground level and the Warrior and the two women are presumably captured by the Ovions.
However, actor Chip Johnson is listed in the closing credits of "War of the Gods." He is one of the pilots who disappears flying over Iblis' planet.
So I am assume his character escaped the Ovions, lived through the attack on Carillon and returned to duty aboard the Galactica. So, what is the name of his character, and how did he escape?
I'll let one of the rest of you decide a on a plot for the rest of us.
