Last night I finally got around to watching the new Battlestar Galactica mini series, which I assume is the build up to the TV series.. which sadly I don't have as I'm waiting on the R1 DVD set released shortly as it's a LOT cheaper than the R2 version for some reason.
I just wanted to say that I LOVED this pilot and the characters therein. It's pretty impossible to discuss it as I don't want to know what happens obviously but anyone wanting to talk about the pilot / mini series bring it on!
Brilliant Stuff.

Yes, it is a good one! I've seen practically all eps (upto the fist in season two) and I think the characters, stories, ACTORS and special effects are really good. And I especially like the music. I've seen the old Battlestar but don't remember much of it. I can totally get over that Starbuck is a girl - in fact it *very* good that she is a girl, it opens up for much more drama (i.e. romance ;D) and it's always nice to see women in these kind of roles. My favorite is James Callis (he looks sooo good in this series), Mary McDonnell and Edward James Olmos two super great actors who carry all their scenes (to me the whole series actually) very well. And it's great to see some "older" actors around. I'm getting a bit tired to watch a series full of "teenagers".... but here it's a good mix... We'll talk more later? daxmaryrussel (who types as she thinks  sort of in a "stream of conciouness" way  LOL) |

Well you know anyone with the word DAX in their name can type anything they like and I WILL Listen haha
Guess what.. I borrowed the first season!!! I haven't had time to watch any of them as yet but I will be this weekend hopefully! I'd have to agree with what you said about the older actors, that is great to see and they are very good. Starbuck is great but I'm feeling queasy already with the thought that she's going to do the inevitable and hook up with Apollo at some point.. couldn't she be gay (which I'm sure is actually ok to be in the future!) or couldn't she be a single strong woman (which I'm sure is okay too in the future lol)? I just think if that character hooks up with Apollo it will ruin the strength therein on some level. Still I'll watch and see!!
Thank you so much for not spoiling anything for me!! We'll talk more when I've actually watched some more!!
Most shocking BG moment so far... seeing the pretty Asian girl was a baddie at the end of the mini series!! OMG!! That was amazing!
