derex3592 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 LOL at Graham, I am about to the middle of Season 3 on Blu-Ray, and even though I watched the entire series after it came out on DVD, there is just no comparison, I had forgotten how truly great addicting and great this show is/was. Frack yeh! Quote
myk Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Yeah you're right. I feel like pulling those dvd's out again. What a great show... Quote
Beltane70 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I've been re-watching the show as well thanks to BBC America. More correctly, I'm only re-watching from season 2.5 on. This is actually my first time seeing the mini-series and the first season and a half. I didn't really think about it before, but now that I've seen the series from the beginning, I've come to realize that I really, really hate Roslin! Quote

myk Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I wanted someone to take her out when she led that little excursion to Kobol-how dare she defy the old man! Lol, but later on I started agreeing with her views and actions... Quote
Keith Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Roslin never bugged me that much. Now just about every Pegasus captain on the other hand got exactly the right measure of what they deserved. Quote

Beltane70 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Whatever for? The two biggest things that bothered me about Roslin was taking Sharon and Helo's daughter away from them, and trying to rig the election. It was pretty cruel to make Sharon and Karl believe that their daughter was dead. Granted, Adama (At least I think he was involved, but don't remember if he actually was or wasn't) and Dr Cottle are just as much to blame for going along with it. Plus, I don't know if it's part of Mary McDonnell's acting style or not, but Roslin's facial expressions always seems so smug, escpecially when she's being questioned about her actions Quote
Keith Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Including "Fatass"? \Especially, epic Escaflowne troll ending for him! Quote
shiroth Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Alright guys, I've been told by many people to start watching this show. Was going to read up on Wikipedia, though I'd like to dodge spoilers. Where shall I start? I see that It's pretty cheap to buy these days, so I'll go down that path. Quote

After Athena confronts him about it, he confronts roslin and he looked pretty damn pissed and disappointed with Roslin. Quote
Beltane70 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I don't think Adama knew. After Athena confronts him about it, he confronts roslin and he looked pretty damn pissed and disappointed with Roslin. Thanks. I couldn't remember if he was part of that plan even though I had seen the episode only a few weeks ago. Quote
miles316 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Helo started the series shot in the leg, and ended the series shot in the leg. Edited November 7, 2011 by miles316 Quote

EXO Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Battlestar Galatcia: The Miniseries. Aired 2003. OMG!!! 2003! Quote
Keith Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Does that have any certain name or title? If you're picking up the first season set, it's just the first disc Quote
shiroth Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the help guys. I'll purchase the complete blu-ray boxset at the end of the month. I'm highly looking forward to it. Edited November 7, 2011 by shiroth Quote
Keith Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Thanks for the help guys. I'll purchase the complete blu-ray boxset at the end of the month. I'm highly looking forward to it. Everything is included, except for one mini-web series towards the end. Quote
shiroth Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Everything is included, except for one mini-web series towards the end. Thanks for that. Let's hope i don't forget about that mini-web series in the future. Quote
EXO Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I dont have the complete collection set. Did Razor come with the set also? Man I miss this show. Still think it ended way too soon. Quote
shiroth Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I dont have the complete collection set. Did Razor come with the set also? Man I miss this show. Still think it ended way too soon. Not seeing Razor in the complete collection details. What is it? Quote
Dynaman Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 > Not seeing Razor in the complete collection details. What is it? The story of the Pegasus and it's commander. It was one of the best things to come out of BSG. Quote
Dobber Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Yeah, Razor was really good along with it's webisodes. The Razor webisodes give you a brief look at the first Cylon war. These webisodes have info and content that tie into the Razor movie....which, as someone said, tells the back story of the Pegasus along with a side story during the current events of the show.

eugimon Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 yeah, razor is definitely worth the watch. The Plan, not so much. Quote
Keith Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Razor is included. The Plan would be a lot less annoying without a certain group of obnoxious basestar computers singing about things burning... Quote
Dynaman Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Razor is included. The Plan would be a lot less annoying without a certain group of obnoxious basestar computers singing about things burning... Even worse - the original plan (hehe) for that scene was to NOT show the destruction, just to focus on the lady/thingy babbling on and on and on... Quote
shiroth Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Good to hear Razor is included. When would be the best time to watch that? Quote
Keith Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Good to hear Razor is included. When would be the best time to watch that? Just about everything you need is in disc order, except for the first batch of webisodes Razorsits right before season 4, and the disc is in the set in that order so you're cool. Even worse - the original plan (hehe) for that scene was to NOT show the destruction, just to focus on the lady/thingy babbling on and on and on... The one thing I wish they'd kept from the original series was the big bright lolipop colored robot things instead of them. Edited November 9, 2011 by Keith Quote
