Well Blood and Chrome was a like a 10 part mini series, showing 15
minutes at a time on YouTube. And now they are showing the entire
thing all together.

Probably the best BSG they've made yet, and probably won't be a regular
series. Figures.

Ron Moore's so-called "Battlestar Galactica" was a disappoint to many
people, especially since before he took over it was going to be a proper
continuation of the real "Battlestar Galactica" (may or may not have been
Ron Moore's fault).

The big problem is that there are now two very different versions of
"Battlestar Galactica" (only the original version of which is the real
one) and one more in the planning (which has stupidly been described as
fitting somehow into both versions!), plus the
still-planned-but-unlikely-to-happen movie version of the real "Battlestar
Galactica" ... and that's before some other idiot comes along and tries to
"reboot" it again. :-(

Ummm... where to start on this? Well, I'm a classic fan, and there is
some good activity on the internet for the classic fans and I basically
stick to that. On one place called "Colonial Fleets" which is the hub

Dirk Benedict himself. So in a thread we talked about our thoughts on
the new series, and here were my thoughts...

Basically my comment comes around the idea that it is hard to get into

Earth, 100,000 years before our modern time are wearing suit and ties
and firing guns with bullets.

Real "Battlestar Galactica" will always be around in a fan sense, but in
the public sense it's been replaced by Ron Moore's garbagised version.
It's extremely unlikely real "Battlestar Galactica" will ever be added to
properly, despite Glen Larson's attempts. Having two (or even three if the
other fool gets his way) different versions existing under the same name
is silly enough, having them competing against each other at the same time

Blood and Chrome was decent enough, though I thought the actor playing Adama a bit on the weak side, even for a young officer, and his "interaction" with the peace-seeking diplomat a bit stereotyped and trite although it did give her a chance to utter a great line about regret. The all-green screen CGI was better than in other Syfy shows and we got more a sense of depth in the far shots. Who knows, combining B&C with Caprica might have been a great show.

You know, the Blood and Chrome is what I waiting on since Battlestar
Galactica was rebooted. Had action, more Vipers, fun pilot banter, no
suits and ties, and shooting down classic looking Cylon raiders and
fighting Cylons. Good stuff.

Post by David Barnett
I did like Caprica, especially the interplay between
father& daughter.

I watched Caprica hoping there would be some of the Cylon/Human war
stuff. There was not. But there were some interesting moments, like
the time they illustrated the pain the Cylon (sometimes shown as the
daughter) when they commanded the Cylon to rip its arm off. Powerful
moment.

I think I got off the new series at the first episode. Now a lot of New
BSG fans say they were hooked by the second or third episode.

Here's the problem, and I say this time after time after time...

If New BSG had been named anything other than Battlestar Galactica I
would have LOVED the series. I am watching Space Above and Beyond
right now... VERY much like the new BSG, and I adore that show.

But for me, I went into the New BSG thinking action, Vipers, fun pilot
banter, fighting Cylons, and .. blasters. I liked the hope the classic
show gave. The dignity humanity had in the face of adversity. How
humanity was priceless against wave after wave of appliances. Great
mythology with a religious overtone, etc.

The New BSG had most of that, just felt like I needed a bath after
watching the mini-series. :)

It amazes me how the classic BSG had such a cool spark and how the new
BSG has this... anti-spark. :P

It is like getting chocolate cake made with salt instead of sugar.

(In fact, if I remember correctly, I almost switched

it off within the

first five minutes when they insisted on shoving a camera up along the
blonde woman's legs.)

I did not see that bit!

So, you say you only watched 15 minutes of a several
year run?????

Unlike Your Name I watched all of it & did like a big part
of it, but there were parts I did not like.

Which is true of any show. The difference here is that the reboot was highly
praised and lasted four years, unlike the original.

I would watch this show if only I didn't have too many
other shows to watch atm.

Post by David Barnett
I did like Caprica, especially the interplay between
father& daughter.

I think I got off the new series at the first episode. Now a lot of New

So, you only watched one episode?

Post by Clu
BSG fans say they were hooked by the second or third episode.

The pilot won the show a go ahead for the series.

Here's the problem, and I say this time after time after time...
If New BSG had been named anything other than Battlestar Galactica I

What would have named a show with a battlestar named Galactica?

How about, Adama's Islan?

"now sit right back and you'll hear a tale..."

would have LOVED the series. I am watching Space Above and Beyond

You only watched ONE episode and then say something like that?

Pathetic.

Post by Clu
right now... VERY much like the new BSG, and I adore that show.

How do you know if you only watched one episode of BSG?

Post by Clu
But for me, I went into the New BSG thinking action, Vipers, fun pilot
banter, fighting Cylons, and .. blasters. I liked the hope the classic
show gave. The dignity humanity had in the face of adversity. How
humanity was priceless against wave after wave of appliances. Great
mythology with a religious overtone, etc.

Which Moore's BSG had except for ray guns...

Post by Clu
The New BSG had most of that, just felt like I needed a bath after
watching the mini-series. :)
It amazes me how the classic BSG had such a cool spark and how the new
BSG has this... anti-spark. :P

The old BSG was a kiddie show. With robot doggies.

It is like getting chocolate cake made with salt instead of sugar.
But if you like salt it is perfect.

Moore's BSG was more a tasty steak.

Just ignore the idiot. It's a brainless moronic troll who usually
cross-posts to a wrestling newsgroup as well. :-(

So that aside, what did you guys think of the Blood and Chrome mini-series?

Haven't seen it and never intend to see it. No idea if it has even played
here in New Zealand, but I have absolutely no interest in Ron Moore's

It was on the web... You have the internet there? Youtube? Stores that sell DVDs?

garbage-ised version of Battlestar Galactica nor its spin-offs.

Oh dear, here we go with the argumentative dimbulbs who can't read. :-\

Yes, I have internet, but it's a dial-up connection which makes trying to
stream or download video highly pointless ... plus, if you'd actually
bothered to read what I wrote you'd see that it says "I have absolutely no
interest in Ron Moore's garbage-ised version of Battlestar Galactica nor
its spin-offs".

Maybe words of one syllable will help: I do not want to watch it.
