The "I Love Battlestar Galactica" Thread

[DaDornta]

I did a search, it showed a review about the new show from a LONG time ago. I initially wrote a post in that thread, but it got deleted before I posted it.

I decided instead to create a new, ongoing thread for ALL THINGS BATTLESTAR related. The 4th season is due in another 6 months...so we all have to wait FOREVER to find out if the crew of Galactica finds Earth.

Here is a very short synopsis of the premise of the show...

Battlestar Galactica continues on from the 2003 mini-series to chronicle the journey of the last surviving humans from the Twelve Colonies of Man after their nuclear annihilation by the Cylons. The survivors are led by President Laura Roslin and Commander (later Admiral) William Adama in a ragtag fleet of ships with the Battlestar Galactica, a powerful, but out of date, warship, at its head. Pursued by Cylons intent on wiping out the remnants of the human race, the survivors travel across the galaxy looking for the fabled and long-lost thirteenth colony: Earth.

I love this show. I never thought a TV series would hook me line and sinker more so than Star Trek. This show has it all! Awesome acting, awesome social commentary, awesome direction, awesome camera work, awesome special effects. It's no wonder TV Guide said it was the "Best show on television".

If you like LOST, if you like Sci-Fi (star wars/star trek) you'll LOVE the new BSG (thats what I affectionatly call it)

I'm sooo into this show. I have the first 1979 Marvel Battlestar Galactica #1 comic, slabbed (encapsulated) and graded by CGC (Certified Grading Company) at a 9.8 (mint/near mint). There are only 60 of these comic books floating around according to their records. Here is what the comic looks like:


This is unfortunatley a 9.4, mine is a 9.8

I also own all of the Hasbro "Titanium Series" die-cast toys of all the fighters and ships from the show...



I also own rank insignia pins as well as a black fleece jacket with the Battlestar Pegasus (not Galactica, you have to know your shizz to appreciate Pegasus) embroidered on it.

I'm also an avid collector/wannabe player for the BSG card game made by: http://www.wizkidsgames.com/battlestar/

To get this thread ROLLIN' here's a link to a montage of the opening to the 3rd season in video form:

Once you're done w/that awesomeness, check out how the 3rd season just ended--with a SICK rendition of "All Along the Watchtower" as the "secret music" that the sleeper Cylons could only hear...
