I was the first person to mention the book in this thread, afaik. As for my reasons - Eugimon answered the question for me. The general moviegoing public would be bored to death by a historically accurate movie on Thermopylae.

Well of course, but I meant in the new series.

A historically accurate movie would bomb. Let's just keep "Gates of Fire" as a book. It's probably best that way.

I don't see motorcycle vipers... yet.

The Hong Kong reissue MP-01 from last fall isn't perfect. It's the version I have and there are some minor flaws.

This must be the "new direction" that they are taking the show.

These spoilers have been verified by four sites, some of which claim to have reliable sources to confirm them. And no episodes were changed around, Season 3 only has "19" episodes total. This is because Occupation and Precipice were given 3x.05 and 3x01. Pretty stupid, but that is how they did it. As a result, there's been some confusion as to which episode corresponds to which number.

FYI guys, those spoilers do seem to be true. At first people thought they were foilers, but now more and more people are supporting the theory. Here's what I think: I don't think that the people it talks about are the *real* Final Five. I bet it's a Cylon trick. However, it IS interesting that they are hearing a song from EARTH. Get that? EARTH. This show has never had unoriginal music (with the exception of a piano piece by Philip Glass). The part with Starbuck can work. Apparently she has seen Earth - neat.

Yeah, but you guys get the Russian aircraft at the bigger shows in France and England, don't you? I'd say that makes up for it.

^Yep, my buddy likes Full Screen. I hate him for it.

Haha man I love that picture.

Mine is on the way from Amazon. I'm looking forward to getting it (got it for cheap).

Awesome. It's nice to know that Yamato actually reads the board from time to time.

Oops, double post. Sorry guys.

Ugh. Dang! I was hoping they would stop by Fargo. What? The Blue Angels come here! They aren't even going to Minot? That sucks. Minot has had some pretty good airshows in the past (on the base, that is). B-2 flyover in 99-00, can't remember the exact date. It was neat considering I was in the 6th grade.

Going to see it again tonight. w00t I've also ordered the Series 1 action figures from bbts. Hopefully they are worth it. Leonidas looks pretty badass.

Argh! I don't know whether I should place an order or not... I want to get the 0S first. Gah.

Awesome. I was trying to find them but I was having no luck.

Indeed. I hope he stays on the show.

Something tells me that the Air Force wouldn't use the YF-23 as a drone target.

My preorder from bbts with the old raider and the Pegasus got in last week. Baltar has his trial, and he doesn't die.

Yeah... MP-01 all the way. The newer 20th Anniversary one would make an excellent toy for a 5 year old, however. I'd be thrilled to have it if I was a kid.

This was a better episode than Maelstrom. I actually enjoyed it! I loved the klepto lawyer.

It was good. Second movie I've seen in a digital theater. The spear-throwing got old after a while, though. They aren't javelins, ffs. But yeah, I enjoyed it.

I have a feeling that my Rome: Total War addiction is going to fire up yet again after I see this movie. Blah. If anyone wants to read a good book about the Thermopylae, check out "Gates of Fire". It's historical fiction, but not to the extent that 300 is.
