General McCracken? Because he's a crack shot? Ouch. Lucasfilm is running out of clever names...

I sure want that Mon Cal pilot to play with, and as a kid I played with my Pruneface figure all the time.

That Y-Wing could be Leia's as she used it in the early EU stories as well. Also if Chewie and Lando came in the Falcon and Luke by X-Wing. But since it's deleted, we can assume Leia came with Falcon, too. :)

I don't think that's possible, since Leia stays with Luke at the end of TESB.

I also prefer the UK Title.

Another thing I really love about this show is the music. Bear McCreary is one of the most creative newcomers in composing soundtracks. I met him in person 2 years ago in Hagen, where he attended the premiere of a modern ballet-show which contained his music (played by a live orchestra, a very cool event). He's younger than me (than most of us here, I'm jealous ;) ). But he's a very nice guy, and since he's blogging about his compositions and asking fans for their opinions, he's giving you the feeling of being involved.

But the BSG music is stunning. Richard Gibbs wrote it for the Pilot (with McCreary assisting him). Quiet and yet very percussion heavy. The music evolves over the four seasons and gets more and more complex. But the really fascinating part is that through season 3 the music becomes a character of its own. It becomes part of the storyline in a way I've never seen before.

The soundtrack albums are all worth buying, also some other stuff he wrote like "Terminator: SCC" and "Human Target".

If you have the chance to listen to the music don't miss the following tracks:

Pilot:
"By Your Command"

Season 1:
"The Olympic Carrier"
"Kobol's Last Gleaming"

Season 2:
"Colonial Anthem"
"Baltar's Dream"
"Pegasus"
"Lords Of Kobol"
"Roslin And Adama"
"Gina Escapes"
"Prelude To War"
"Worthy Of Survival"
"Black Market"

Season 3:
"A Distant Sadness"
"Precipice"
"Kat's Sacrifice"
"Heeding The Call"
"All Along The Watchtower"

Season 4
The whole godsdamn thing...

Yes, I know all that. But at least they could have removed the scratches.

Yeah, sure.

The PT deleted scenes were all remasered and pimped up with special effects, soundeffects and music and the OT deleted scenes are treated like the bad step child. That's just f*cking great. With our luck they're also in SD.

Warsteiner, but I also like the local Castroper Helles (Pilsener)

Although I don't believe a God exists, I'm fascinated by storys based on religion and/or god. Like the movie "The Prophecy", or "Supernatural" or the book "The Jesus-Video" by Andreas Eschbach (I don't know if it's available in other languages than German).
But the God-Theme in BSG was never such a great aspect to me.
Since the classic BSG was an action show, while the storys and characters stays hollow all the time, the new BSG is a character-show.

I've never seen a sci-fi-show before, that got so deeply into the characters as BSG. As a fan of Star Trek, my favorite show was DS9, since they tried to give the characters more depth. But they failed, because of the episodic storylines. In Season 4 there was this episode "Hard Time", where O'Brien is imprisoned for 20 years in a virtual prison. In real time he stayed there only a few hours. At the end of the episode he tried to commit suicide, because of his (not real) memories. But in the next episode O'Brien was all love-peace-and-happines again. That's what bothered me.

Not so BSG. You see the rise and fall of characters and always the question comes to mind 'what would you do?' (regarding Admiral Cain, f.e.)

The first two seasons of BSG were awesome. Great storys, action and pacing were good, and ending season 2 with a "One-year-later" was fascinating. Then came season 3. The "getting-off-new-caprica" storyline was okay, but then the season began to suck. Stuffed with filler episodes like "Hero" it got more and more boring. But suddenly the last 15 minutes of the last episode of season 3 made it worth to watch it all. 15 minutes that saved a whole season.

Then came "Razor". A very good story, a mysterious new character, and an old hybrid prophesying all of season 4 (that's why you should watch "Razor" after season 3 and not in the middle of season 2), in a very cryptic way, of course. And "classic" cylons in action, yay.

Season 4 was awesome again. The series ended with a solution I never expected. Okay, maybe it was God who led Kara's hands but it could've been a coincidence, or whatever.

To sum it up (I said it before and I'll say it again): in my eyes BSG is the BEST. SCIFI. SHOW. ON. TV. EVER.

First time I watched your channel. You made a review to "Wonderfalls", how cool is that?

Since I loved "Dead Like Me" and "Pushing Daisies", I watched "Wonderfalls" (which hasn't been aired in Germany yet) and, guess what, loved it. It's so bad that Bryan Fuller never gets a chance to bring a series to a REAL end.

Okay, let's see what else you got there...

Maybe someone should change the topic to "Is twooffour any good??", since the thread seems to have nothing to to with the actual topic...

BTW (I haven't read all 7 pages, so don't crucify me, if someone else stated this):
Star Trek (2009) isn't a remake. It's a sequel. It concludes all the TV-Shows with a timetravel leading into an alternate reality.
Hmm, sounds really poor. But it's a really good movie and the best Paramount could have done with the almost dead franchise.

Jaws was fucking scary at about 8 or 9, [...] and had shark nightmares.

Alien Resurrection was a let down but it does have some good scenes, a couple of good performances, some great production values and a rather nice soundtrack.

Whedon says they filmed his script but got every aspect of it wrong (as in not as he imagined and described it).

Wut?

Through inbreed the next generation of sandpeople is a whole lot dumber. They couldn't hit a barn, even if they were inside.

Day Of The Dead films can be confusing, there is the original, which is a second sequel to Night Of The Living Dead (which has had two named remakes, a colourised edition and a special edition with tacked on footage) following on from Dawn Of The Dead (which has also had one named remake) AKA Zombi (which generated two unrelated in name only sequels) and not Return Of The Living Dead the novel (which was a direct sequel to the original screenplay but turned into a spoof film with four sequels of it's own) or Escape Of The Living Dead (the comic book sequel to the first film which is getting it's own film adaptation) or Children Of The Living Dead (which is the film sequel to the previously mentioned Special Edition of the original film).

There was then a pseudo-sequel/prequel which may be getting a sequel and then a pseudo remake (a pseudo sequel to the pseudo remake is also possibly in the works).

I'm quite disappointed with the response to the box set here.

Not enough fun has been made of the inclusion of the 90 minute cosplayer documentary ;)

MINECRAFT!

Oh yeah, I forgot. Minecraft has zombies, too. And Minecraft rules.
