... sigh ... having access to (only) 20 channels leaves me unable to actually watch the new, reimagined, Battlestar Galactica series... Yes, my earlier post on that was not very supportive of the show, but a morbid curiosity... and fascination would have had me 'accidentally' flipping to the SciFi channel, if only i could.
So, taking a peek at SciFiDaily, looks like the series is doing pretty well, doing quite a bit of character development, AND is overall dark and gritty (as opposed to the pretty cheesy original). Wish I could get a chance to see these new episodes so I could actually HAVE a real opinion!! :-(
Here are some links to specific reviews/opinions from SciFiDaily, which I enjoyed and would like to highlight to you:
1. Bill's America loves ... (posted Jan 15 2005) (that's Apollo on the left, and "Starbuck" on the right)
2. Greg's Better than Ori (also posted Jan 15 2005) (that's "Adama" on the left and the "President of the Colonies" on the right)
3. Bill's review of first two episodes (18 Jan 2005)
Of course, if you have the time and interest, by all means please go through the other articles in there. I like the authors' styles, you (like me) will probably pick up on not-so-famous-in-Malaysia classic movies and stuff. The only reservation I have with these folks is their love for ol' William Shatner, teehee!!

Long live the Cylons!
ReplyDeleteWe've seen Alien vs Predator. I wonder if they'll ever come up with Cylons vs Borg (with some storm troopers thrown in just to complete the picture).
