There's a write up on the Battlestar wiki about one of the unproduced episodes that showed the direction it was going to head in:http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Wheel_of_Fire. Edit: actually I'm just reading the second season proposal on the wiki right now. I'd not noticed it before. Interesting stuff. It confirms that Apollo would have left Blue Squadron and it would have been Starbuck that became psychic, not Apollo (so either Hatch misremembered or I did). I hate what they wanted to do to Apollo, and a complete contradiction of the character – he never thought about stepping down after Serena was killed. Don't like the idea of Sheba being killed either. Larson was going to bring Isaac Asimov on board as a consultant and writer! Now that would have been interesting, especially with his fascination with robots. Sounds like it would have been mixed - some good, some bad. |

Someone on io9 said "They'll gender-swap starbuck into a guy, and then people will complain about it." |

So talking about Season 2 is basically asking an actor to remember a show from 28 years ago THAT HE NEVER MADE. (Caps intended to be funny, not actually yelling). I'd be surprised if anyone could remember anything with any detail over that space of time. Quote:

Would it have been good or bad? "The Return of Pegasus" actually sounds kinda' cool, just based on death toll alone. The rest of the episodes sound terrible, though, and we both agree they were gonna' ruin Apollo. I think whether it was good or bad would depend on how many BTS people they were able to bring over from the first season again. Because the first season didn't really figure out what it wanted to be until the Terra arc, and what we see here sounds like they were ditching that and moving in a safer direction. |
Re: The Original Battlestar Galactica
Very interesting stuff. Last summer I sat down and watched all of that first season for the first time. I had seen several episodes throughout my life, but never all of them end to end. I was very surprised how much I enjoyed it. And the reason I decided to sit down and watch them is because I met Dirk Benedict at a Con and then found out he and Richard Hatch were going to be at another Con near where I live together. It was at a little convention in St. Louis so I actually got to talk to Hatch for awhile, very nice man and very engaging. We didn't get into many details he could mis-remember. LOL Very sad that he passed away so soon after I met him.

Re: The Original Battlestar Galactica
I've still never seen the original, but I own the entire series of the newer one. I'll have to check it out sometime. Any idea if it's on Netflix or Amazon Prime?

I will say that it is not a show you should go into thinking it will be brilliant, unless you can put mind back in time to 1978. It is fun and at times has some brilliant qualities. Of course there are also annoying aspects as well. Basically don't have high expectations other than trying to enjoy the fun retro quality of it. |
Re: The Original Battlestar Galactica
I saw the original back it was first shown by ABC back when I was in the Navy.

Re: The Original Battlestar Galactica
I only saw a few reruns when I was a kid. Then when I was older and SciFi Channel ran them. Last summer was the first time I could say I saw all of them. I don't think I am ever going to give Galactica 1980 a shot. The whole basis of that show is one of the main things I can't stand about TV. We are doing a space show, but to save money we are going to do as much of it as we can, or even all of it, on a planet. Then we can just film it out in the desert or the woods and claim it is an alien world. :klingon:
