^ I know what you mean (I think )

Have downloaded and watched the first 10 episodes of season 2 and watched them back-to-back (pretty much anyways) - just could not contain the excitement and anticipation of the next episode, and then the next one, and then the next...!

However, have to say I've taken a lot more in just watching 1 or 2 episodes a week at the second time of viewing - I often find I've missed subtle plotlines and think about the decisions and consequences of the story a bit more.


Gotta love the torrents - come Saturday morning the dling will start and by the evening it'll be ready
10 episodes on one dvdr disc - all decent quality (divx) = sweetness

A lad has just copped off with some bird after a night out and takes her back to his new flat, as he showing here round he takes her to his bedroom and shows her his big brass gong...

'whats that' the girl asks
'its me new talking clock' says the man
'talking clock? how does that work?'

And with that the man grabs a sledgehammer and twats this big brass bong as hard as he could
'listen'

then a few seconds later he hears a cry from next door
'its quarter past 3 in the fuckin morning!'









Brian came home from the pub late one Friday evening, as he often did, and crept into bed beside his wife who was already asleep. He gave a peck on the cheek and fell asleep. When he awoke he found a strange man standing at the end of his bed wearing a long flowing white robe.

"Who the hell are you?" demanded Brian, "and what are you doing in my bedroom?"
The mysterious man answered "This isn't your bedroom and I'm St Peter".
Brian was stunned "You mean I'm dead!!! That can't be, I have so much too live for, I haven't said goodbye to my family.... you've got to send me back straight away".
St Peter replied "Yes you can be reincarnated but there is a catch. We can only send you back as a dog or a hen."

Brian was devastated, but knowing there was a farm not far from his house, he asked to be sent back as a hen. A flash of light later he was covered in feathers and clucking around pecking the ground. "This ain't so bad" he thought until he felt this strange feeling welling up inside him.
The farmyard rooster strolled over and said "So you're the new hen, how are you enjoying your first day here?"
‘It's not so bad" replies Brian, "but I have this strange feeling inside like I'm about to explode".
"You're ovulating" explained the rooster, "don't tell me you've never laid an egg before".
"Never" replies Brian
"Well just relax and let it happen"

And so he did and after a few uncomfortable seconds later, an egg pops out from under his tail. An immense feeling of relief swept over him and his emotions got the better of him as he experienced motherhood for the first time. When he laid his second egg, the feeling of happiness was overwhelming and he knew that being reincarnated as a hen was the best thing that ever happened to him ... ever!!!

The joy kept coming and as he was just about to lay his third egg he felt an enormous smack on the back of his head and heard his wife shouting "Brian, wake up you bastard, you're shitting in the bed"

Ron Moore sets up the story so well for the end of season 2.0 - leaving us with feeling so much anticpation of what is to come - and then surprises us further with even higher quality storytelling in the 1st returning episode - leaving us wanting more...

Few things on tv I actually look forward to watching, but BSG is truly must-see tv

Jambe - Received your Building Empire in the post this morning - many thanks m8.


I have to say that anyone who enjoyed OCP's Episode 4 based 'Deleted Magic' will more than likely enjoy this too. The overall presentation is very professional and would not look out of place as bonus material for the Official Releases - except that this surpasses anything of late produced by Lucas.

The title menu sets the tone for the whole project. The use of the McQuarrie artwork and the soundtrack used are very fitting - almost haunting.

The use of the storybooks to outline alternative and unused plotlines, comics, other shooting scripts and their drafts, rare photos, alternative takes, behind the scenes camera footage, the use fo the 8mm Super Film dialogue, the 70mm dialogue changes, as well as some of the changes made to ESB down the years in it's different versions, were all solid in their execution - and very easy on the eye. It all seemlessly blends together with the actual film being played throughout the documentary - only cutting away from it when necessary to show the viewer an alternative shot, angle or bit of information.

The subtitles were a great a way of getting facts on the screen without taking away what was happening on the screen itself - very nicely done too - clear and concise. The names of the people on commentary pop up throughout to let the viewer know is speaking.

Another welcome inclusion by Jambe is giving us, via subtitles, some of the films and tv programs that some of the minor actors went on to make - surprising just what all those Imperial Officers (& Rebels) went onto after leaving the Empire...

I hadn't heard Kershner talk about ESB before - he seems to have a genuine feel for the movie and enjoyed making little changes and additons here and there from the original script. Many people behind the scenes are also featured on commentary throughout - sharing their insights, tips and memories - as well as the actors - both main and 'minor' along with Lucas & Kurtz.

The behind-the-scenes camera footage really gives the feel that this film was a labour of love, the time and effort that went into making the film by the technical and construction crew too. Frank Oz also gives a welcome insight into just how difficult it was to get to grips with the Yoda character, and mastering the puppet itself on-set. Again Jambe comes up with some info on just what it took to build some of the sets used for Empire - and the difficulties and bonuses of using them.

I'll have to watch this through again tomorrow - there was just so much information at times (coupled with my excitement as seeing this) that I'm bound to have missed some bits 'n pieces.

The Extras section - accessible via ROM folder contains the ESB Radio Drama - well worth a listen to for it's execution and differences from the film. Also here is an alternative title crawl for ESB - I've never seen this before, and it's fascinating to read and actually watch the crawl roll on a stark Hoth background...


Great work - you can really tell a lot of time & effort went into this - not only the content but it's presentation too. 'Tis a credit to you, Jambe.


Enjoy a good break m8 - I have the feeling there'll shortly be a lot of people asking when you are going to start on a Jedi version - me included
