Re: OT: BSG Series
The only thing I hate is when they decide to do aliens on the cheap, production companies suddently decide that the aliens can look like us! The War Of The Worlds series had aliens in disquise so they could infiltrate our society. Star Trek Voyager and DS9 could attach some sort of forehead mutation and get an instant alien. Is CGI still that expensive? I want scary Lovecraft gloopy monsters in my sci-fi! But the blonde Cylon can stay. I'll be "evaluating" her in my quarters!
Anyone figure out how many dog years old Lorne(Adama)Greene is? was?

Re: OT: BSG Series
i desisted from watching SG1 when, in the first episode from the first season (not the pilot), when they find a world with people that lives like the Mongols they instantly are able to talk with the first person that they meet, in modern-day english, and they are not using any kind of translator or something...
Now, a people that were separated from eartg since the time of the Gengis Khan (that spoke a very different language) are speaking modern-day english? I simply could not stand the illogicity and simply donīt watched any othe episode of the series...

Re: OT: BSG Series
You know it was said about a SEIV movie..... Why would it take a lot of money? For example DOGA, I used DOGA with it's built in movie, added my own ships and made a nice looking space battle. There are many here that are much better with DOGA than I am, why couldn't they get together and make a short film to start with? Only a ten min space battle would be a good starting point.

Tis the problem with all sci-fi shows except Farscape where they made it clear that it was nano-tec that allowed them to understand and speak other Languages.

Re: OT: BSG Series
And since there are multiple copies, I will also be evaluating the model in my quarters for the next few weeks.

Re: OT: BSG Series
The 'blonde cylon' is Tricia Helfer. You can find more images of her on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1065454/ |

AS far as I know they only covered the translation problem once in ST. In DS9 Quark and his brother and nephew end up in 1949 new mexico (some place called Roswell I think ). He wonders why his translation implant doesn't work. His brother says it would only happen if there were large amounts of radiation in an atmosphere, but who would be stupid enough to explode nuclear weapons in an atmosphere  .
In one episode of DS9 they are being attacked by Klingons. There is a conversation with them and then the Gowron (who must be speaking his language all along) says something in Klingon which Worf has to translate. It is assumed Gowron pressed the "Do not translate this sentence" button. |
