How about a Movie !
I sure would enjoy a new movie (theaters)
But I have to be honest, I dont like the new version at all.
I liked the old one.
Just like Stargate, I liked the movie, Hated the series.

I'd love a new movie. I saw two BSG movies at the cinema in England when I was a kid.
It'd have to be a continuation though, with the old cast, and some new ones as well.
BTW, welcome, and happy new yahren.

We got theatrical releases down here, too, and it was a fine sight to see on the widescreen , and to hear in surround sound. See it, feel it, dream it!!
oh yeah...
Big movie, big soundtrack, big effects all go with a concept that is as wide as your imagination and deep as your heart... bring it on!!!
Cheers,
Lara

Without meaning to set me own self up for a THWACK, but I do not see how a movie that was shot with a monaural (single channel) soundtrack could POSSIBLY have a surround soundtrack in the theatres...even with the so-called Sensurround. Sure, they may have managed to finally give it 5.1 on DVD, but when it was released on VHS and DVD before, as the theatrical cut, it was always in 1.1 Dolby Mono.
Respectfully,
Martok2112

Steve, because at the TIME the original movie DVD and VHS were released, they didn't know how to put it in surround sound, etc on those items.
Remember- The original DVD "widescreen" version movie was one of the EARLIEST DVD releases.

Ahhhhhhhh . 
At the time of the earliest DVD releases, I don't believe Dolby 5.1 even existed. I believe at that time it was Dolby AC3, which I believe was the next step above Dolby Pro Logic, that was the audio standard for that format. I could be wrong.
In any case, now with the advances made in digital audio technology, it's probably easier than making pancakes to get a 5.1 mix out of a monaural soundtrack. (Wait a minute....I don't know how to make pancakes! Aggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!)

What I was getting at is the fact the movie/series wasn't shot in mono.
At least I don't think it was. I think it was around that time that stuff started being aired in "Stereo"

That's also interesting, because I didn't think that actual stereo broadcasts of any television show began until about the mid to late 80's, when it would be announced in flashy text at the bottom of the screen ))))))IN STEREO WHERE AVAILABLE((((((.
There were sometimes "stereo simulcasts" before all this came about, where a show might be broadcast, and yet there would be a stereo signal carried perhaps by a radio station.
I never did get to see Battlestar Galactica in the theatres, so I don't know if there was indeed a surround effect on it or not....even though the credits at the end do state "Sensurround". Considering that this was 1978, Dolby sound was already out....known up until that point as "Dolby System".
Interesting too, how much that credit has changed over the years.
From 1976 (with Logan's Run) up through 1978 with Grease, it was "Dolby System".
By late '78 through about 1994 (?) it was "Dolby Stereo" (with home versions of the film known as "Dolby Surround".
By the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the show was actually credited as being recorded in actual "Dolby Surround", although it had been mentioned in ads, and magazines that ST: TNG (and its subsequent shows) were broadcast in "Dolby Surround".
About 1995 (I think) it was "Dolby Stereo Spectral Recording".
Then I think starting around 1997, it finally just went to "Dolby".
Forgive. Jagerbombs talkin' again.

Could it be that it was 'filmed' in stereo. A lot of TV's from that era were still equipped with just a simple, single speaker which accomodated the sounds from both the left and right tracks. True stereo sound systems didn't appear, widespread, in TV's till the early-mid 80's...I think.
I may be wrong though I'm usually not but, I may be.....
(oh I'm going to get it for that but, what-the-hoo....that's why I wrote it!)

Mind you I can't prove it and it was a 'few' years ago, so I might be in for pie

Yeah - there is a method that splits a monaural signal so that it simulates stereo (has been for years).
I can't help but imagine that given the current digital technology it would be fairly easy to digitize the audio track then split it up by frequency so the stereo effect is more genuine, and the bass can be run through a subwoofer for that butt-vibrating effect.

There was also a mode on some Dolby surround home units that was called "Simulated Surround" which worked off of the same principle you just mentioned. I used to have a Dolby Pro Logic system that had that.
