*Cue the classic BSG music*

Awww, Man, the memories!

That's it, I'm buying those damn DVDs!!!!!!!!!!!

OO, you still playing chess? I've gotten away from it for a while now.




I'm still playing - just. Tend to go through a few weeks of playing a lot of matches, and then lose interest in it if you fancy a game sometime let me know

There is something compelling about those opening lines from the old BSG...

A shame it seems that the Caprica project has stalled - maybe if it is the last season of BSG it may get picked up again as a continuing spin-off? Hopefully, anyway.

I'm off to look at the tv guide to see if there is anything worth watching on tv until 2008

^ ah, the infamous 'Ship Of Lights' and Count Iblis - I remember it being a cool epsiode back in the day - and definatley some similariites and homages going on there from RDM

IIRC Count Iblis was played by Patrick MacNee - who also voiced the start credits on the the old series - "There are those who believe... that life here... began out there. Far across the universe. With tribes of humans... who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians... or the Toltecs... or the Mayans... that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids... or the lost civilizations of Lemuria... or Atlantis... Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man... who even now fight to survive... somewhere beyond the heavens." - as a kid I thought HE was the Imperious Leader the cylons were always on about...

I think JediSage has hit the nail on the head - the episode was sort of reminiscent of the original BSG ep when Starbuck and Apollo left an old unsused observation deck to try and find Earth - just before hearing a radio transmission of the Apollo moonlandings come through (so they weren't faked after all ) For some reason the four people in the nBSG can hear a transmission of some kind...

They may think they are cylons at the moment - but doubt they'll be come the first few eps of the new season (far too many questions are thrown up like why Tyrol and Cally have a child (another cylon hybrid kid like Hera), Tigh fighting in wars all those years (cylons DO age), etc


Has no-one invented that time machine yet which will send us into the futre t owatch new eps of BSG ? (and pick up the lottery numbers )

^ I really hope that RDM will get the chance to wrap up the series properly - if it is indeed the end. I'll have to track down the interview - but RDM said he thought the Caprica series was 'no longer moving forward' in relation to it going ahead, and IIRC spoke about it in the past tense (a shame).


What did you think of the final episode? It certainly opens the stroy up for more possibilities...

Was a fascinating and superb match to watch - the first 20 minutes were great, and I couldn't see Barca getting back into it when they went down to 10 men - but fair play to them, they pulled it back.

3-3 with Messi completing his hat-trick in injury time - not bad for a 19 year old. lol



The commentators reckoned E'too was not best pleased about being subbed and at half time - it seems for club stability alone that he may leave at the end of the season... as a Liverpool fan I wouldn't mind seeing him playing for us

Should Lille be thrown out of the Champions League?

Throw Lille out of the Champions League for their players 'leaving' the pitch? No chance.

A fine and a warning from UEFA is the norm for these sorts of things.


The crowd problem is a an obviously more serious and complex problem - I imagine there'll have to be a full investigation (cover-up / switching of blame) before anything is done about that...

UEFA don't look after the fans' best interests - they are there to get rich and have a good old free time at the expense of the paying fans. If UEFA get things wrong they shift the blame - often onto the fans.


Don't think Man Utd did anything wrong in the game (officials' fault for not letting Lille's goal stand) - though I do hope Lille beat them in the return leg

I'm very much looking forward to seeing this - especially after thoroughly enjoying Spaced and Shaun Of The Dead

It'll be interesting to see if they do another few movies along the lines of Shaun and Hot Fuzz (taking off Zombie and Police films) - it'd be superb if they decided next do a film on sci-fi - or even Star Wars...

A man walks into a bar and asks for a beer.

After drinking it, he looks in his shirt pocket and asks for another beer.

After drinking that one, he looks in his shirt pocket again and asks for another beer.

This happens about another seven times before the bartender asks him, "Why do you keep looking in your pocket?"

The man replies, "I have a picture of my wife in there. When she looks good enough, I'll go home."

^ Hi Jambe

The Epson R300 series is a good quality photo printer - with added bonus of being able to print directly onto cd and dvd discs (easily too )

Quite cheap (about £80-100 for the latest R360 model - well worth having a look on ebay and the like.

I've had the 300 model for a couple of years - no complaints - great little printer

cheers for the heads-up Jambe.

I remember Terence Stamp (who played Chancellor Valorum in Episode I) saying a few years ago that he was surprised how few of the scenes he filmed made it to the final cut of Ep1 - and that there were a lot more politically themed content that didn't make it either.

Perhaps if new scenes are being inserted into the OT, then there is a chance that maybe the PT will also have new or previously unseen shots inserted too...?


(the cynic in me thinks as it has been 8 years since the release of Ep1 Lucas must be itching to make a few changes )
