Galactica at IMDB

Afan2 · May 2nd, 2003, 10:52 AM

I've just noticed that imdb already has a Galactica 2003 page. There have been some comments already. One of them reviews Ron Moore's leaked script.
Since many people who come to the Internet looking for news about films or TV shows look at the imdb, I thought it might be good if some of us added some more comments.
It's quite likely that many potential viewers do not come to specifically BG message boards, so they may not be aware of what's really going on, and be misled by the Scifi Channel's ads. But many of them may be regular visitors of imdb.

He implys that retelling a story is not the way to go but that is not what the continuation fans want. A pick up 25 years later that blends the old and new is what I believe most of us want. Why do they keep harping on the retelling thing? This RDM mess should at least be called something else

I started reading and stopped after hearing that Starbuck and Zak were an item. They even compare the new Starbuck to Dirk's character. What the hell were they watching when TOS Galactica aired.

Milty chimed in with his "Unbiased Review"

I think I'm going to go be sick now...

KJ · May 2nd, 2003, 01:55 PM

I'm a member of IMDB. when i find time i'll make you all proud when i give my two cent worth on that Galactica 2003 board. Mility may have his views but he is in for a rough time if he thinks the majority of Battlestar fans thinks the same way he and the remake lovers do.

Chime in with your support also over there and let people know this B.S. ain't what should be happening at all. Let folks know even Edward James Olmost says don't watch it!

Score one for the Home Team!!!

KJ · May 2nd, 2003, 03:43 PM

I will very soon. But i hope i'm not the only BG fan who has membership at IMDB. Cos i hope the home team will back me when i do support BG over there.

I'm waiting for their return e-mail...

Hopefully we can post enough info that will convince a few.

Such as the Olmos interview, and maybe someone can post that "commentary" on the Ron Moore "Popcorn Aisle" letter.

We need to start discrediting these lying Bastards.

Also, I think it will be Informative to let people know that "Captain James" is HARDLY Unbiased.

Let's let the fine readers of IMDB Know the Truth.

Hmm... I think we should stick to reviews of the script. Otherwise, the folks at imdb might get angry, and delete out comments, which will do more harm than good.

Approximately how long does it take IMDB to approve of a review before it is posted? Will they notiify me if they decide not to post it?

LucianG · May 4th, 2003, 11:15 AM

I think Owd was taking this to the Council a week or two ago, but I haven't heard back yet. Since this is now in the open, please be aware of the following:

If you are doing a review, be sure to read the stated requirements first, reprinted below (like, if you include spoilers, tell that you are). Make sure you identify your review as a "script review" so you can also post a review of the show after it airs.

Review period for "reviews" is between 24 and 48 hours during the week. I'm not sure about on weekends.

If you'd like to tell us about a specific problem, please click the "Update Information" button near the bottom of the main details page.

IMDb is pleased to provide this forum for you to air your opinions on your favorite (or not-so-favorite) movies and TV-series. While we appreciate your time and comments, we respectfully request that you refrain from including the following in your review:

LucianG · May 4th, 2003, 11:20 AM

I encourage everyone to sign up at www.imdb.com to help our cause. The message boards will become important as we get closer to the air date.

As much as I'd like to debunk Captain James' review, the guidelines state that you can't do that. However, you can comment on that in the message boards section.

Also, does anyone know where to find the original review by karathrace's dad? If so, please provide the URL but don't comment further about why that is important. Thanks.

oldwardaggit · May 4th, 2003, 12:21 PM

LucianG, I had it on my list to propose to the council but I got busy again and didn't get to it. Sorry bout that.

OWD

AlternityOrange · May 4th, 2003, 03:25 PM

The imdb says the maximum word count for comments is 1000 words. Yet the Daddy Thrace post Milton submitted is over 1600 words. Do you suppose Milton has connections there too?

LucianG · May 4th, 2003, 08:47 PM

I don't know, but if I get that link, I'm sure going to find out.

Afan2 · May 5th, 2003, 03:35 AM

Here it is, Lucian.

KJ · May 5th, 2003, 10:58 AM

Heh according to Jjrakman's avatar, Ron Moore may have got someone's order wrong in Burgerking.

Seems more people are getting pissed at Moore even though he has moved on to do Carnival plus extra shifts at BK.

Well.......not anymore Moore

Nice avatar Jjrakman anymore people with anti-Moore expressive avatar art?

Isn't Moore supposed to be involved in Dead Zone and Stargate:Atlantis? If so he isn't going to have much time to write episode of BG.

AlternityOrange · May 5th, 2003, 03:46 PM

Much like Voyager, Moore only worked on the Dead Zone for a couple of weeks and then left. He claims it was his choice to leave. As we know, anything Moore says has to be true right?

BST · May 5th, 2003, 03:55 PM

Just registered at imdb. From the replies, it looks like you'll have some company, KJ.

btw, 'BST' was taken so, I used 'BattleStarTrekker'.

Yep thats right because....

In between writing BG episodes he either washing his BK suit, getting blood out of the last pair of pants during the last hold up, bandaging his forehead (i don't need to tell you that now do i?) or messing up another order of, fried chips and whopper jrs!

Sorry i just can't take news about Ron "popcorn hating" Moore seriously anymore or his activties at Burger King either. God i'm bored change the subject back to Galactica 2003. anything rather than deal with a BK trainee who raped BG.
