That's an interesting way of saying very little.
I do think that Helo will be looking to Dr. Phil for relationship advice though.

Be nice. Sometimes threads become so large with so many ideas that it's a good idea to create a new thread for a new point. In fact, there is talk in the Suggestions board about a BSG board. The more threads about BSG is only a positive thing for the possible BSG board. Kapt, I consider myself a luckier man then you. I absolutely LOVE the new BSG series. I'll agree with one thing, and that it is a dark series. That is one of the reasons why I love it. If I wanted to see happy go lucky television, well I have hundreds of shows to choose from. The darkness reminds of Deep Space Nine. I think what they are doing, is setting up for more 'action packed things. DS9 was off to a crawl. Wen I watched season 1, I loved it, but then again I was a Trekkie. After seeing the whole series and looking back, DS9 season one was mostly talk, character development, Bajoran politics, history lessons of Cardassia occupying Bajor, more history lessons of the Prophets, ect. But look at what DS9 did. It taught us everything we needed to know, and set up so when it got going really fast, and the war started, we knew so many people and really, really cared about what was going on. Currently we are watching the crew, learning about them, how they interact with each other, watching them grow through this terrible time, grow through their pain. We are learning about the Cylons, how they believe in God, how they feel pain like we do, the reasons as to why they turned on us, what they hope to accomplish with this war. We see the human and Cylon on Cylon occupied Caprica... They just set a cabin up in the woods with food and electricity so Helo and that Cylon chick and mate and start a family. Where's that going? Baltar knows the truth behind the attack, knows more then any other human, and is not speaking. What will eventually come of that? I think there is so much to this series. The ending of each episode leaves me longing to see the next. I think this is an awesome show. They could only ruin it by making it anything like the original. But I guess that is only my opinion. ] I think the show is boring and distasteful it has no right to be called Battlestar Galactica..it is rubbish and should be throwed into the trash...there is nothing Galactica about it..it has taken action from other movies and put into it...it can't stand on its own like the TOS...G.I.N.O is not Battlestar Galactica and never will be..I ahve tried to watch it and found it funny I laugh at it....for those of you who like it..so be it...but for those of us who do not and have taste on what we watch...I say it wil not last very long! Continuation all they way......

TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT did things TOS never could. I'm sure there were many Trekkies who hated TNG when it first came on. I mean, an older, bald Captian? A human first officers? Where was the beloved Vulcan on Enterprise D? I think the new BSG is great, for reasons I have explained. I won't let the fact that is isn't like the original distract me from the fact that is is a great show. As for how long it will run, it's doing GREAT on Sci-Fi, as good, if not better then their flagship show, Stargate SG-1/ Season 2 has already been approved, which sounds to be better then season 1. There isn't that many good new science fiction shows Katie, so "Good Hunting".

I hate the way the camera shifts around in close up conversations. I grok the fullness of the totality, but then I didn't care for it on N.Y.P.D. BLUE, either.

I agree Myke there is not that many and this one is not even close to being good.... but thats my opinon...and you can not compare TNG to New Battlestar Galactica cause in reality TNG is a continuation not a remake...Like G.I.N.O is....and Myke of all people who know me..you know I am not going to take a remake like this one where they butchered the TOS and made Starbuck a woman and Boomer also..no Athena or Cassiopea...and I hope to god that this place is not going to be a place where you can not give your opinion with out fear of being banned.....

We haven't lasted this long by banning people because they don't agree with me personally. If everyone agreed with me, it would be a pretty boring place.

I am as much a fan of the original as anyone else....and I have come to grips with the fact this is a remake and not a continuation.....although subversively it is because they showed the old model cylons in the original mini series and talked about that being the "first" war.....so they havent totally abandoned the old series they just redid the timeline so that the whole destruction of Caprica and the Galactica leaving for earth doesn;t happen until after the first war.
Now I have been able to seperate the original from the new in my mind and am able to enjoy them both as 2 totally different series. If you look at the new one strictly by itself and don't compare it to the original at all, you forget the original even existed...the show is quite good. It is very heavy in the drama of human survival. In fact the final episode of season one doesn;t even leave you any hope for how they can survive into the next season. The theme is total and utter despair....which is unique and I like it. If you can seperate the 2 series....the second one is quite good as a standalone.

I am in agreement with Wolf and xKamelx. As a Daggit, I prefer the TOS. I cant say I'm happy with R Moore riding BSG's coattails, and picking from the TOS what (very) little plot ideas they can steal/redo. ( I still say the Cylon God is gonna be Count Iblis ). Yet BSG2.0 on its own is a damn good show. Dark and depressing. Cant say I agree with the overall theme of Hopelessness. Yet it is leading to some real good character development. R Moore knows how to weave a tale.
The twist & turns in the last 3 episodes of the season were GREAT. Now I'll always be a Daggit, Yet BSG2.0 has found a spot in my life that fits nicely.
Sure, I have a LOT of things to Nitpick about. I am in complete agreement with Tom Zarek on almost everything he had to say. Why are they still thinking as if the universe is the same and they're lives will return to the same. When he said " Why is that man still doing what he did??" Hell, Why hasnt the fleet start to restructure itself yet?? Cloud 9 should already be going thru a retrofit to become an Agroship. Sure it wont be easy or fast. Sure, there will be some chaos as the fleet readjust. But alas, almost all are still trying to get over on the other before they get shafted.
And YES Myke, when TNG came out EVERYONE hated it. In my click of friends back then, all were Trekkies/Trekkers. I was the only one in my group that said give it a chance. Then said Frak it when season 2 came out. ( Dr Polaski.....sheesh) At the time reading all I could about the Trek universe, and all I read said that most HATED TNG. (a blind pilot/engineer, a security officer who dies?, and Wesley.......By the Gods.)
Now DS9 took awhile to fly cause unlike all the other SciFi shows which takes place on a ship that moves about, while DS9 was stationary. I feel the characters on DS9 developed ALOT faster than TNG and had way much more depth by the end of season 2 than TNG did at season 5.
If it was called "The Last Fleet" or even "The Ark" we would be comparing it to BSG anyway, As the theme/plot is quite comparable. Yet if they did, then they wouldnt have gotten the name reconigition. Anything in this day an age that will help you get ratings/MONEY will never be overlooked. Sure its not a continuation, but a twisted remake. But how much on tv now a days is original in idea?.?.?.( Im suprised they havent remade "The Life Of Riley" or "the Honeymooners" yet. Hell, Just wait when our grandkids are watching a remake of Star Wars.)
