Welcome back to the 'Galactica Cafe'....... - Page 19

In The Beginning....

In 1978, a three-hour TV pilot was filmed for the series. They also edited a two-hour theatrical movie from that. Baltar's fate differed in each.

In the two-hour movie, he was beheaded by the Cylons. In the three-hour pilot, he was spared, given a baseship, and set out in pursuit of the Galactica and its rag-tag fleet. He was the big bad guy in the series, revelling in his evilness.

I suspect, though, that your friends are asking about the new miniseries that the Sci-Fi channel showed last month.

That Baltar survived. I can't tell you much more than that, except that he was kind of a namby-pamby character with no real depth; I didn't watch more than a few minutes of it since it was boring and I didn't recognize much "Battlestar Galactica" in it at all.

There are others here who could tell you more, though; some of them even liked the miniseries, believe it or not.

Edit: Oh, and there is a follow-up trailer, a 4-minute "proof of concept" film that Richard Hatch did a few years ago, trying to sell the idea of a Battlestar Galactica movie. Unfortunately, that is not widely available, and is only shown at conventions where Mr. Hatch appears.

Enjoy your time here!

I am

Dawg:

Thank you very much for your help. I really apreciate it. I think that my problem is solved.

I guess that they are refering to the 1979 two-hour theatrical movie, because it's the only one that seem to be more a movie than a mini-series.

Sorry for my bad english and again thanks!!!!

Well Perrito, and before I begin, welcome to the board. But there are two movies, the original Saga of a Star World...(1978) and there is the new mini-series movie just aired, that the vipers in the film are run on windows XP!

And time is so fickle Bsg1fan - before you know it that one year may be 10 - I sincerely hope that throughout all the time you have with him, you find the happiness you hope for and deserve...

shiningstar · January 15th, 2004, 12:05 PM

That goes Ditto for me

bsg1fan1975 · January 16th, 2004, 04:44 AM

Hi all! Well, while my better half is off in Central America, I have been keeping busy making my first full CD, inspired by our beloved OWD. This is such a neat time, I remember paying like $50 to typeset a song once, (plus color seps and so forth) now you can do such wonders all at home with a PC. With the right materials and tools, you can create photo quality booklets and labels, which is something new and fun for me (although I must admit I'm a bit slow at it as I learn how). I've had the songs for a while but all on multitrack not CD. I edited out my voice so they're all instrumentals, and I put the lyrics in the booklet. That way hopefully someday I can get someone like my brother perhaps to do the vocals.

It's awfully fun, kinda like doing musings set to music. My New Year's rez is to buy all of OWD's CDs, I hear a new one is coming out soon.

Cheers all,
