looks interesting. wonder where it takes off? Last i saw of starbuck, and all of the episodes might not have aired on that channel, he was stuck on a planet with no way off.

Last i saw of starbuck, he was male! and so was boomer. did they kill the originals of for good?
reimagine? if they mess this up, to quote a warcarft 3 character 'IT'S HAMMER TIME!'.

Actually heres the premise. It takes place right before the attack of the 12 tribes. The viper ship was just created by the colonials. Starbuck is a girl, and its supposed to launch the new series. They are redoing it so its going to be done over the series. I think they are trying to get some of the old stars to guest star in future episodes.

Starbuck's a girl? Oh my. This does irreperable damage to a whole boatload of my adolescent fantasies.

You know, I could see Apollo being a girl. He was always kind of a wuss. But Starbuck? Come on now folks.

Although, it might be kind of hot if the new Starbuck still has a thing for Casseopeia. growl

Well, if nothing else, let's hope that there's enough ships portrayed to make a decent shipset of 'em.

Actually I kind of like what I have seen of what they are doing with the show. I know a lot of people are complaining, but I think it's misguided. I was a huge fan of the original series, but I was ten at the time. My judge of quality writing was not that great. I got a chance to catch some of the original series on TV a few months ago, and frankly it was barely tolerable to watch. The only thing keeping me was the sense of nostalgia. The characters were very two dimensional, the situations were unbelieveable, and the dialogue was very 70's.

The series really needs a fresh take if its going to be done at all. You couldn't really pick it up where the original left off, that ground ws pretty much poisoned with the Galactica 1980 spinoff. And if you were just going to do the original all over again with different actors, what's the point?

I for one am looking forward to it.

Mormons in Space: the Return

Not that there's anything wrong with that. There have been a couple of other films that have arguably Mormon influences, though they seem to be mockeries. And the LDS seem to have their own movies, but those aren't meant for general audience, like Battlestar Galactica.

....

Western Socio-Religious Groups regularly get representation in film, so I've no objection (though some can be difficult to interpret). I guess it just seems odd, not what an unbeliever would expect from the LDS.

Starbuck a girl huh? I know a woman who likes to pretend she's Starbuck at Sci Fi conventions. She's very butch and would love some of that Casiopiea action.
In no way does this mean I admit to going to Sci Fi conventions!

I just hope they leave out that robotic dog monkey and that little kid with the bowl haircut.

What next, a remake of Buck Rogers or Land of The Lost?

[geoschmo]

I don't know about the kid, but the creator's said in an interview there is definetly NOT going to be a daggit.
