I would just like to put this out there...

Since this is sure to be a monumental event in the history of Science Fiction as we know it, I am making sure to record this epic behind the scenes look at a show which will redefine the way we think about Science Fiction forever.

I will be recording it in the following formats:

• DVD
• VHS
• VCD
• SVCD
• AVI
• mp2
• XVCD
• MPEG
• CVD
• XSVCD
• DivX
• XviD
• WAV
• mp3
• CD
• Cassette
• Vinyl
• 8 Track

The video formats will be both NTSC & PAL. Please specifiy which format you'd like it in. I would also suggest you request two copies. It's almost a given that you'll be watching this special [and the movies] over & over so it'd be to your benefit to have a backup copy.

Thank you.

I still think Patrick MacGoohan should sue Ron Moore for using a characater named "Number Six"!

"I am not a number! I am a Cylon in a supermodel disguise!"

Y2K Falcon

Fine! Screw me and my reel-to-reel player.

Are the times listed all showing just the pilot episode?

Y2K Falcon

No no no no no...

This is a commercial "behind the scenes" look at "this reimagined classic".

The series does not debut until 12/8.

Phil L.

Could you please convert it to .3gp as well?
That way, I can play it on my Nokia Picture phone.

thanks tons.

Chew

As long as we're asking for formats, how about Betamax?

I think I still have a player in storage somewhere..........

Thanks for the clarification Falcon.

I'm still not sure what to think of the new version after watching the special

Fielding Mellish

All I know is... Richard Hatch needs a hug!

DRG

?????






j/k, but seriously... I wonder how pissed is the Gallactica Hatch over Survivor Hatch?

Wizdar

I have a feeling we’re going to be pleasantly surprised.

The only reason we like the original series is because of the nostalgia factor. It was crap. But, hey, it was the only thing we had on the tube that came anywhere close to Star Wars. And it was the fun kinda crap, like Batman.

When measuring the new show, it would be helpful to reevaluate the quality of the original.

“I play Starbuck. Get over it.” Pretty much sums it up.

mikehunt

I think that if we watch it without comparing it to the original it will be decent, but if we look at it as a remake and compare it to the original we'll have some bad feelings. therefore I'm going to watch as if it was just a new science fiction show

I'm using the general form of "we" and not refering specifically to any group of people

G. Noel Gross

I'm not sure I can forgive them getting rid of the red-eye'd Cylons (as we knew them). Do we really need another Six of Nine? Um, that may be the dumbest question I've ever asked. OF COURSE WE DO!

Here's the synopsis of this special, if anyone like myself was curious what it was:

The same page says the premiere of the first installment of the miniseries is December 8.

Dr. DVD

Only one week to go.....

Wizdar

I was wondering when somebody was gonna mention something like that.

If all else fails, give us BBIES!!

I'm with mike on this. Well, I'm gonna try and keep an open mind. Shouldn't be too hard: the series was so gawdawful. But, hey, it was the best we had at the time. Unless you wanna count Space: 1949.




Any side bets on whether or not they use the line, "By your command"?

El-Kabong

Whats this "we" white man? I enjoy it because it's a pretty solid show and not because of any rose tinted glasses of my youth.

So the one thing that worries me - no, of the several things that worry me - is that they havent shown the Cylons yet. I'm fearing some kind of Rolland and Emmerich Godzilla disaster, where they keep the Creature/Bad Guys under wraps as long as possible because what they did to them makes them suck beyond belief.

So, can someone point me to pics of the Cylons?

Alvis

All I know, is that they should have let him make his version.

Really, I'm not trying to, but everything I've read about this has been bad. I'll probably watch it, just to see if it is as bad as the reviews I have read say it is.

mikehunt

according to a short part of the special

I think she's just an infiltrator, like a T800, or the guy in the Wolfman Jack Holloween episode of Galactica 1980

mikehunt

I totally agree. I haven't read his books yet but heard they are good, and rumor from those who saw it said his trailer was really good too

Chew

First positive review: TVGuide gives it a 9/10.

Don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
