^ similarities? maybe...

one of them was basically a reset button episode that played it safe and whose end result was never mentioned again - a bit like the entire series that abandoned it's own premise in it's first season. The other was a piece of superbly executed tv amongst many quality and engaging episodes of a series that not only makes for entertaining tv, but challenges and questions the viewer with it's content and continually shows many aspects of the difficulties encountered within it's story premise.

Forgot to say that the BSG ep is a re-take on a 25yr old series-BSG episode.

Ok, maybe the word 'similarities' was too strong. I see an underlying theme to both.
Voyager:
Voyager discovers the first real human contact they've had since they were taken across the galaxy, in the Equinox. They later learn that certain aspects of the Federation doctrine have been completely disregarded as the Equinox crew does anything to get back (they found a lifeform who's dead carcass could be converted into a crystal that gave them a massive speed boost). After learning the full truth, Voyager attacks. Certain members of the Voyager crew are on board the Equinox when it flees, hoping to escape court-martial.

BSG:
Galactica discovers the first real human contact they've had since their civilization is destroyed, in the Pegasus. They later learn that the Pegasus crew has become brutal in its attempts to gather intelligence and attack the Cylons. Several members of the Galactica crew/ civilian population have been transferred to the the Pegasus when, being pushed too far, Galactica attacks.

"Living Legend"

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

"Living Legend"
Any resemblance between this show and the 25 year old show is purely coincidental.
The only similarity between Living Legend and this is the very basic theme that Galactica runs into the Pegasus and its commanded by someone named Kane.
The rest is too different.

1. I believe Kane had a different title in the original series (he was just referred to as Commander...and it was spelled Cain).
2. Lloyd Bridges...Michelle Forbes
3. Kane seemed to be subordinate to Adama in the original. Flipped in the new.
4. Kane was not brutal in original. The worst he did was to destroy Cylon fuel tankers to force the Galactica into using his plan of attacking two Base Stars, but in the end he turned out to be in the right, destroying both.

It'll have to be a "Season 2, Part 1" kinda deal, cause season 2 isn't over - it continues in January.

beware of the dvd double dip at bestbuy.
They orginally sold the first season as a bestbuy exclusive with the u.k. version, and now they have the u.s. version with the special features and the mini series after i already bought them for the same price of 50.00.

Not only am i out 80 plus dollars but i have to buy the same episodes again if i want the commentary and new features.

For those who have not already both purchased the mini series and season 1 50.oo is a good deal, since they are practically throwing in the mini series for free in the new boxset.

I bought the new boxset for the original t.v. show, the widescreen movie was'nt included and the interview with john dykstra about special effects were not there either. they must've been with the limited release cylon head. and the reported digital remastering is bull, since what i watched was worse than the vhs tapes or what they used to show on the sci fi network, the only thing that looked cleaned up were the visual effects. But the video quality was very poor on the pilot episodes. have not watched the other episodes yet so don't know if the video quality improves. The film scratches on the old televison reels which they used are very evident, why not go back to the original negative and do a digital clean up after washing the original negative. Or they could do a hand frame by frame ycm restoration. the 5.1 sound sounded somwhat good but was very forced in some cases, and sounded kinda fake. not sure if the show was shot in mono sound or stereo, since it was the seventies to early eighties.

“Always loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin’s ghost. What a fucking shame.” -Simon Pegg.

Like JediSage, I too wish Moore would update his blog a litte more often - but if the man's busy doing a great job on a superb series then fair enough.

Really enjoyed watching the 10 behind the scenes clips on the scifi website - getting to see how the show is filmed and put together, along with the people in charge of each section all doing their bit - very impressive.

Here's to the start of the 2nd half of season 2 - anyone know when it starts airing in the US?
