Just a point of clarification ... in Britain, 6 episodes is a series, not a mini-series. :p

Yes

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was, of course, already a remake/re-imagining of the old film series and comics from the 30s(?).

Re: Dr Who - Season 30 (4) Season 4, episode 6!

And the idea of having Deuce disguise the feeder as a Vorlon was truly inspired. :D

Perhaps Galactica itself is the final Cylon. That really would be mind-blowing ... just not necessarily in a good way.

Got to pitch in with GKE on Intersections ... for me, it is right up there among the best. 3-4 episodes. And in terms of acting, two things jump out. Compare Bruce's performances in this episode and in Points of Departure, and you can start to see the range the guy has as an actor. IIRC...

I imagine TV Guide feels that more of the articles target audience will remember Scarecrow and Mrs King than B5.

I think measuring JMS' success is a difficult one. Jeremiah is a show I love ... i would even go so far as to say that I could have loved it even more than B5 given more time. Unfortunately, it just didn't find a large enough audience in the UK for us to have had the second season (I have only...

Of course, ultimately it isn't up to JMS what happens. The Rangers movie was a movie because that's what Sci-Fi Channel asked for. If they had asked him to do a Mini-series, he may well have been happy to do one. JMS can't make any kind of B5 series in any kind of media without WB giving him...

I generally got the impression that Glen A. Larson started out with the intentino of making BSG a heavier show, but quickly reverted to what he knew best, which was cheesy action. I grew up with those shows, and loved all of them (for my sins). Not to the extent that I consider myself a die-hard...

Michael Bay ... just ... No. Nuff said!

And Twin Peaks did it years before B5 did. I have to agree with JMS on this one ... the main thing that B5 achieved was to show network execs that it was possible for a SF show other than Star Trek to be successful. Clearly, the arc thing was important, but not unique and had been done before...

Well, technically the original Zathras only appeared in three episodes, the last one was one of his Brothers ... :p

Hardly, it is 11 years old and cost me less than £1k a couple of years ago. That said, it is the last pre-GM model, and I do love it to bits!

That's neither here nor there ... the question is whether children SHOULD be watching. Dr Who is a show designed to be watched by whole families, BSG clearly isn't. Therefore, if children are watching it is either the fault of the broadcasters, who put it in a misleading timeslot, or parents who...

Re: Battlestar Galactica The Greatest Scif show? or Babylon 5 Erm ... thinker222, are you also Admiral Beckham? If so, why the change of handle?

Wow, my car goes SF. Cool! :D

The question of your attitude isn't to do with whether or not you like BSG, but your earlier implication that only those who have never watched quality television, and wouldn't know decent writing from a dead possum (I paraphrase) could possibly find anything of value in it. That is always...

Hence Gideon's voice would become more recognisable from the box over time ... as it absorbed more and more of its owners "essence" into itself. Works for me.
