HoveringCheesecake Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 See: Blue. I noticed that too, but I think we'll manage. The explosion more than made up for it.
azrael Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Too bad they didn't couldn't make things a bit more retro. The pilots and uniformed people are fine, but the marines and flight crews look too modern. It would have been nice if they gave them a WWII-look to those guys. It would be nice if they made the flight crews wear the old olive-drabs than the highlighter jumpsuits. Like these guys working in the background. If the marines were wearing Vietnam-era olive drabs with a FAMAS, then that would have felt retro. I'm a nitpicker, sorry. I can hear RDM now saying there wasn't enough money....
Dobber Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Most of the Uniforms did seem different, with alittle TOS flare to them. The main thing I didn't like though, was the Viper MKVII flight patch!!!! But flight suites really don't look all that different now than they did id Nam, and in the minisode they seemed to be different with the Vest thingy and what looks like an old school tunic underneath. Also, deckhands and such really haven't changed all that much since Vietnam....mainly they just use Camo now and that was a fairly rescent change. I agree about the Marines though, it would have been a nice touch. P.S. what is the photo from? Chris Edited October 21, 2007 by Dobber
Dobber Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Also, I found the terrified screems from the Columbia very chilling. This was a FRAKING awesome episode 2 minutes or not. Am I alone, in wanting to see more from this Era? I'd love to see another miniseries or even series that would take place during the Cylon War. Chris Also, anyone else notice the TOS music being used in TNS style during the begining? Very cool!!!
HoveringCheesecake Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 Yes. The screams were a nice touch!

I reaaaaaaaaaally want to see a miniseries on the original cylon war. Make it almost like a scifi WWII flat-top drama (reminscent of wing commander - but waaaaaaaaaaaay better - yes i know wing commander sucked but the style was ok) edit - and yes, the screams were quite chilling.

The screams were chilling, but I'm a bit disappointed overall. I may be wrong, but I would think an explosion and destruction like that would've knocked out just about every system on the ship. No more signals, yo.
HoveringCheesecake Posted October 22, 2007 Author Posted October 22, 2007 I've got the soundtrack in my hands, and let me say: All Along The Watchtower is even better than it was on the show. :)

HoveringCheesecake Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 *Jealous* Now all we need is the S3 DVDs and I'll be happy! No kidding. They are getting as bad as Paramount with the Star Trek DVDs.
eugimon Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 No kidding. They are getting as bad as Paramount with the Star Trek DVDs. did it take this long for the season 2 dvds?
HoveringCheesecake Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 did it take this long for the season 2 dvds? I don't think it did, especially if Season 3 is delayed until April. That's just insane.
UN Spacy Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Anyone sporting BSG stuff for Halloween? I just ordered one of these.
vermillion01 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Where did you get that? Just looked for it.. http://www.battlestaronline.com/costumes.html
UN Spacy Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Where did you get that? I got it for $8 thanks to an Amazon.com gift card I nearly forgot about. Whew. http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica...5748&sr=1-8
Kelsain Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 A bunch of my friends have bought some grey muscle-tees and racerback tanks. I've got a jacket that's close enought to the blue uniform, so I'll put some gold plastic accents and either print or buy a patch for the shoulder. There'll probably be about 5 of us in toto.
uminoken Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Buy the Battlestar Season 3 cd right this second. That is all.
Dobber Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Got my shipping confirmation from Amazon yesterday!! Can't wait. Anyone know if Bear is doing the music for the Razor flashbacks? I really hope he'll release some of these ques...particularly the TOS fight music from the last episode, if he is doing it. Chris
Jeremy007 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Apparently the R1 release of S3 won't be out now until April 2008!!!!!!!!! http://www.thedigitalbits.com/rumormill.html#101707 Chris that absolutly blows. I have been pacing while waiting for this...april is so far away.
vermillion01 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I think i read somewhere (maybe bear's website) that he doesnt know if he will do a release of the Razor / flashbacks because "its not interesting enough". check his site out, its really quite an interesting read.
uminoken Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 At least the flashbacks will be on the dvd, one can always rip the audio tracks that way. I plan to do that when S3 comes out to get one of the cues left off the S3 cd - "Supernova" from Rapture
HoveringCheesecake Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 Lalalandrecords has the CD autographed by Bear. Now I have to buy that one. I didn't think they were doing it this time since they didn't have any pre-orders. Harrumph.
Guvava Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 I can't believe you guys aren't talking about the latest razor mini-sode at sci-fi.com. Some pretty fantastic aerial viper vs. classic cylon action. I could almost say it's probably of some of the best dog fighting of the whole series. If the Caprica spin off was gonna be like this, I would totally be in for it.

You must be a "nugget"...... check back a couple 'o' pages.... we had a quick discussion on fri. / sat. apart from "HOLY FRAK!!! THAT WAS AWSOME! " there isnt much to say... its hard to completely disect a 2 1/2 min episode in detail.
big F Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 there isnt much to say... its hard to completely disect a 2 1/2 min episode in detail. Well we could go frame by frame that would take a few pages.
Skullsixx Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 I know some of ya know most of this but I thought I'd post this anyway: Fans who have been waiting since March for new episodes of “Battlestar Galactica” are going to have to wait a little longer. The Los Angeles Times now reports that “Galactica’s” fourth and final season, long expected to begin in January, won’t commence until April. This would finally explain why the series’ 3rd season DVD set won’t be out till April! Still up in the air is whether or not we’ll have to wait until 2009 to see the series’ final episodes. The Times also reveals that series mastermind Ron Moore plans to make his directorial debut on one of “Galactica’s” last 10 episodes.
Dobber Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 This is now just getting out of contro l!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris

Honestly, it's like they just keep trying to run this show into the ground. Quite frankly I'll be GLAD when Battlestar is done because then their station will have no exclusive shows of any value. This is just disgusting.
hutch Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 That is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo stupid.
Mr March Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 What a poor way to run this show. I'm with meh cd, I welcome the close to Battlestar Galatica (2004) if we're fortunate enough to see it finished. At this rate, anything is possible, even the worst! Perish the thought!
Dobber Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) As much as I love this show, I'm also starting to feel that way too. Just so I won't be getting jerked around like this anymore. If the show really is not comming back til April, it would make even MORE sense to at least release the DVD's now instead of later. They really are alienating their own fanbase by screwing us over....AGAIN!!!! I really don't by the " The DVD extra's are holding up the R1 release" bit either. It's been how long now since the end of S3 and yet DVD extra's still haven't been made...yeah right! Plus, as I said before, none of the other R1 DVD sets had anything NEW as an extra, just stuff that you could already see on sci-fi. Chris Edited October 26, 2007 by Dobber
chowyunskinny Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 new Razor Flashback hits early scroll down a little to see it
Dobber Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Frakking awesome!!! I'm such a junkie when it comes to this show!!! Chris
