So If The GALACTICA
Movie Goes Forward,
What Might It Be About??

Existing sets? by Junior Frenger	Jan 13th, 2007 01:20:53 AM
The idea is a good one, but wasn't the idea to use existing sets? The Pegasus stuff has been torn down. Galactica wouldn't be involved in that scenario, so what sets could they use?

I'd rather see what Hatch & Benedict did that day! by Triumph poops!	Jan 13th, 2007 01:39:33 AM
Overall, I liked the Pegasus story arc at the end of Season 2 -- to be honest, it salvaged that season for me since I think the show got TOO bogged down and got TOO religously mumbo-jumbo and actually went off track for a while there. And the Pegasus storyline helped to put the show back on track. But that said, why do a DVD that concentrates on the Pegasus, which I likewise assume means doing a movie that stars Michelle Forbes and "her crew" of actors. That means you'd be putting out a DVD that DOESN'T star or which DOESN'T focus on your actual series regulars -- which it just seems to me is ideally the prime reason for putting something like this out or at least is what you're counting on as your core financial anchor. So in other words, they'd be putting out a "continuity made for DVD movie" that only caters to a niche portion of a particular show's audience...which is a niche unto itself. Personally, if that's the route they ARE willing to go, then fuck doing a "Pearl Harbor" movie about Forbes and crew. Give me a movie focusing on the all-out Cylon attack filled with action and mayhem and show me what Tom Zarek (RICHARD HATCH) did that day alongside his fellow rebel friends (cough! cough!) DIRK BENEDICT and HERB JEFFERSON, JR. Now that's a Battlestar made for DVD movie that geeks would want to buy!
It's on, It's off, It's on... by Evil_Imp	Jan 13th, 2007 01:54:05 AM
Why not report something with some Credibility ? Would , could, maybe, who knows, if, unsubstantiated... this is non news. Galactica will be fine, the rumour mill is just that. BS at best
Triumph by Shivv	Jan 13th, 2007 02:34:01 AM
Tom Zarek was most likely giving it to some prisoner up the ass when the attack started, considering he was on a prison transport at the time. That being said, I wouldnt mind seeing the Pegasus before it encountered Galactica.
Well Hells Bells by skydemon	Jan 13th, 2007 03:19:54 AM
With all these negative rumors running around out there about the show, it stands to reason that at the core of it all, the show is probably coming under some heat from the brass for some improvement in ratings. Personally, the show is getting off track lately, it's bogged down, and a bit too preachy. So maybe a kick in the pants will get us some better episodes and more audience before it gets itself canceled for real. As for the movie, I'll believe that when I see it.

No this does not sound good by Nabster	Jan 13th, 2007 06:22:14 AM
I do not want to see a story about Pegasus, and especially not after the events of the miniseries. I want to see the story move forwards not backwards, we know the fate of the Pegasus once it encounters Galactica. And we are even told breifly what happens on the Pegasus during its point of seperation, so why would we want to see this when we have a good idea of what occurs? Another half baked idea.
Just Do a Better Job Than B5 DVDs by DarfurOnTheRocks	Jan 13th, 2007 07:22:22 AM
The disconnect in quality between B5's regular series and the made for DVD movies were astounding. I hope that all parties involved are not looking to make a fast buck off this project.
RE: skydemon by Real Deal	Jan 13th, 2007 08:21:53 AM
Or it's just a bunch people on a talkbalk that love to talk negative ( you know kind of like a tabloid ) that signify nothing. If BSG goes down ( just like Star Trek ) it will not bode well for Science Fiction on TV.
And Another Thing.... by Real Deal	Jan 13th, 2007 08:23:18 AM
Even at it's worst BSG is miles above anything else on TV.
frak, frakkin', frakker by yanksno1	Jan 13th, 2007 08:41:31 AM
I believe that's how Entertainment Weekly spelled them based off their interview with Ron Moore when they had that feature a few months back. So I take that as their propper spelling. Might want to note that Herc. ;)
Well, what if Cain... by Arch Nemesis	Jan 13th, 2007 09:53:57 AM

In defense of the B-5 DvDs... by Nodwick	Jan 13th, 2007 10:29:46 AM
..."In the Beginning" was an amazing addition to the B5 universe. The rest of them, not so much, especially "River of Souls." "Thirdspace" could have been good if they hadn't copped out with a Star Trek style ending.
Sweet!! by Teamwak	Jan 13th, 2007 10:55:51 AM
If true. I olve some BSG!! Please Sci-fi chanel. Dont frak this series up.
twenty-FIRST by jimmy rabbitte	Jan 13th, 2007 11:26:14 AM
I'm sure I'll watch this movie... (that is if SCI-FI doesn't eternally screw things up and cancel the show)... but I'm wondering, why this story now? We already know The Pegasus ends up getting destroyed; and they've taken the story way past the attack on the colonies. So now they want to give us a feature-length flash back... WAIT! What am I doing? If the SCI-FI mole is reading this... I LOVE the idea... just don't cancel the @&%*#$' show!
Those Helfer shots aren't that great... by DanielKurland	Jan 13th, 2007 12:06:22 PM
Her ass is nice in the one, but her breasts don't even look that great. Yes, yes, as far as breasts go, they're good, and if I had the chance, I'd be interested, but what I mean is, with the level of hotness they've established with her on the show, these kind of fail in comparison. If that makes any sense.

There were no B5 made for DVD movies by spacechampion	Jan 13th, 2007 12:59:07 PM
"River of Souls", "Thirdspace", etc. were all made-for-TV movies, later put out on DVD. The current "Babylon 5: The Lost Tales" in production are made for DVD, and may see a TV appearance.
I would like to see a dvd movie that shows... by chromedome	Jan 13th, 2007 02:48:24 PM
...what was going on in the cylon empire prior to and during the attack on the colonies... or maybe the weeks leading up to the attack on Caprica... or a way retro prequel that takes us along with the 13th colony the Pegasus thing does not sound that interesting to me, and is ultimately a dead-end story line. So, unless it reveals some other information crucial to the ongoing plot line of the main show, it is just churning off to the side. I thought the series started going off-track when Pegasus came along, and, just like TOS, they had to kill its commander(s) and destroy the ship to get back on track.
BSG Cancellation rumors are BS! by kdoc13	Jan 13th, 2007 03:00:44 PM
Look, I am no insider, but I am a betting man, and a pretty good gambler. Look, here is the deal. First, BSG is a DVD moneymaker. Second, it's still the highest rated show on Sci-Fi. Third, there is a spin-off coming. In order for Caprica to not just succeed but really do well, it's going to need a little help from the show it was spun from. What does all this equal. A season 4 for BSG. Now, Sci-Fi may order changes. There may be a payroll slash and some people will get killed off and effects go down. There may also be a shortened season. But cancellation, nope, there will be a season 4. Bet me, I dare ya.
BSG & Flash Gordon by datachasm	Jan 13th, 2007 04:41:41 PM
looks like they already got a replacement in the bullpen... BSG is an overall good show, but very inconsistent and sometimes very cool and others very dumb: like laugh out loud corny. dunno, i think the overall design of the Cylons is weak. i miss the old school Raiders and robots; and i will take the original episode of Hatch and the gunfighter Cylon over the recent boxing episode any day. but its clear the needed to establish some things for the next episode: The Eye of Jupiter 1. they just could have wrapped in something more palatable.
Tricia Helfer by Amy Chasing	Jan 13th, 2007 05:29:52 PM
looks great! Now, if there's a Cylon God, it's Christina Hendricks turn. Pleeeze... oh pretty pleeeze?
Yea, no shortage of negative comments here. by skydemon	Jan 13th, 2007 06:31:01 PM
Long before posting here, I've been reading the talkbacks. I can remember plenty of "Enterprise" bashing going on here every week. I was watching it, and thought it was entertaining, and hated to see it get canned just when it was finally beginning to really improve. Real World, it doesn't matter what any of us think or say here about BSG, It's the money that counts. If BSG continues to be a top rated SciFi Channel program, and continues to sell DVD's and bring in revenue, then It's not going anywhere, end of line.
What Tom Zarek was doing that day... by CarmillaVonDoom	Jan 13th, 2007 06:33:01 PM
Dynamite comics just released issue #1 in a mini-series that takes place prior to the Cylon attack. It goes all the way back, tells Tom's complete origin. Don't have it in front of me, not sure who wrote/drew it...but I STRONGLY urge anyone into BSG to pick this up asap. Anyone else read this yet?? Much better than the monthly.
Metalwater ... by Glowing Spine	Jan 13th, 2007 07:09:07 PM
'You're the worst of the worst. The sorry of the sorry.' Any BSG TOS troll worth his salt knows its the Battlestar ATLANTIA, not the Atlantis. So shut the frack up, you ignorant slut. 'Come back later, and I'll show you how it's done.'
skydemon by Glowing Spine	Jan 13th, 2007 07:11:54 PM
You are correct, Enterprise was definately finding its legs in the last episodes of season 4. A lot of credit I give to Manny Coto, which is why I personally think 24 has shot into orbit in seasons 5 and 6 (yes, saw the first 4 eps).
Enterprise... by datachasm	Jan 13th, 2007 07:18:55 PM
Blech!!! c'mon, this was a PREQUEL to the TOS, but it didnt look like it at all. more TOS!!!
AMY CHASING!! by nemesisdarkside	Jan 13th, 2007 07:42:46 PM
I said this in the previous BSG TB, but you are a genius!! YoSaffBridge in PB would be cool. What is Hendricks up to now anyway? She NEEDS to be on TV.
Christina Hendricks - the new AICN catch-phrase/name by Amy Chasing	Jan 13th, 2007 07:48:01 PM
I know I keep going on about her in various forums, but she really is an excellent actress (as her performance in Firefly shows) and one of the most beautiful women in showbiz I can think of. And like I wrote elsewhere, hopefully she has a movie coming out later this year called South Of Pico with Gina Torres (according to IMDb). Other than that she's doing the TV show circuit.
Lesbian? by nemesisdarkside	Jan 13th, 2007 07:48:10 PM
Obviously the name is a reference to Kevin Smith's best film IMO. However, I thought it was more a case of a dude TBer who "chases Amys". Basically a ladies man, who chases after the girls. This is one case where I don't mind if I'm wrong. P.S. PB nudity is kinda overrated.
"PB nudity is kinda overrated"... by Amy Chasing	Jan 13th, 2007 08:02:10 PM
I know what you mean, but still hats-off to Tricia Helfer for doing it. She rocks, plain and simple. And my sexual preferences are not the issue here (I'll leave that to your imaginations). Getting Christina Hendricks more work is!
A Battestar movie you say? Will there be boobies? by Deus Vult	Jan 13th, 2007 08:31:56 PM

Last season of Enterprise by Nabster	Jan 13th, 2007 09:03:02 PM
was not bad at all. The episodes were noticeably better written. I do not think there has been a dip in quality in BSG, in fact I remember the last episode being pretty awesome. I think this season as been very well paced, lots of characterizations followed by some plot momentum, its like they have set everything up for the coming storm.

jimmy rabbitte, you hilarious bastard! by Deus Vult	Jan 13th, 2007 09:57:04 PM
good to see "taint" made it through to the weekend. I was there that day "taint" was born as a catchphrase. it was magnificent. in other news, over at the hannibal talkback, some crazy brits have coined next week's hot new catchphrase, completely filthy, which I think will replace taint. its "vagina in a cup." they claim it has something to do with a cigarette but who cares, its awesome and works on so many levels.
...on so many levels. by jimmy rabbitte	Jan 13th, 2007 10:07:37 PM
like, does one light the cigarette? If so do you light it before, during or after the involvement of the vagina in a cup? These questions beg for answers... answers I'm afraid I just don't have, so I'll turn to the only recourse left at my disposal... Robitussin...and a long winter's nap... ...save the last taint for me...

Good Riddance to Bad Pretentious Rubbish by Jack Burton Says...	Jan 14th, 2007 04:31:12 AM
Seriously, all you geeks need to get your heads out of your ass. BSG was a depressing piece of frak polluting our airwaves. The only thing worst than listing to geeks orgasm in their pants over this junk is listening to "critics" call it "smart" and "realistic". Oh the hell can this show be "smart" and "realistic" when people are flying around on frakkin' starships with faster than light engines and Adama is still wearing reading glasses and has a face full of pot marks. What, they can build starships in the future, but they have no cure for acne, or haven't yet discovered corrective eye surgery? Finally, if I want to watch something as unendingly depressing as BSG (which, I suspect, is why critics love it so much; BSG is the TV version of an Art House Movie) I'll time travel back to 2000 and watch Bush steal the election again.
Last season of ENTERPRISE was good, tho the finale BLEW by Triumph poops!	Jan 14th, 2007 06:44:10 AM
Off topic, but I'd agree that the last season of ENTERPRISE was a BIG improvement, unquestionably due to the efforts by Manny Coto as the new story editor to whip the thing back into shape. Frankly, had the show been given a 5th season with Coto at the helm I think the show would have rebounded rather nicely in the eyes of all. That said, Berman and Braga were still able to piss all over Coto's hard work and serve up to the fans a major shit burger deluxe with that God awful series finale they cowrote which actually spent MORE time focusing on worthless, shitty cameos from Riker and Troi than the actual cast of ENTERPRISE itself. Seriously, that has to rank as one of the ALL TIME WORST series finales in the history of TV. As I said, just truly GOD AWFUL and proof positive why NO studio or production company should ever give Berman or Braga work again!
Lasron did Pearl Harbour with the original? LMAO by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jan 14th, 2007 07:12:07 AM

You're welcome to your opinion and if you think TV should be all about saccharin highs, well thats OK to. But picking holes in a show because one of the lead characters isn't a vain OC reject is sad, pathetic and depressing.
Face it, the show's over. by performingmonkey	Jan 14th, 2007 05:15:01 PM
It won't be renewed, then there'll be uproar and they'll shoot a DVD movie to wrap things up. As things stand the description of THIS DVD movie makes it sound so pointless. Why do they want to take a step back and show us things no-one gives a shit about? If they're gonna axe the series do TWO DVD movies to end things, none of this Caprica crap or pointless 'Pearl Harbour' shit.
^^^ i dunno by aestheticity	Jan 14th, 2007 05:47:00 PM
pearl harbour is just a good example of a well-planned surprise attack. it's not the first one. just because one side in a conflict surprises the other at a bad time and cleans house doesnt mean its inspired by pearl harbour. if i wanted to wipe out an enemy, and i happened to know they were all going to be gathered in one place sometime, that's when id attack. the japanese happened to agree.

Do like FARSCAPE - wrap up the storyline by EubieDed	Jan 15th, 2007 12:08:14 PM
BSG V2 so far has followed the major plot points of the original series: cylon attack on colonies, Baltar helping cylons against humans, deux ex Pegasus, and the ongoing search for Earth. The only original twist so far has been the introduction of the biocylons and the birth of a hybrid. The two major episodic elements from the first series which haven't appeared yet are: 1) the discovery of an advanced militaristic human society that BSG tries to enlist against the approaching cylons, and 2) the ultimate discovery of Earth. If the series is coming to an end, why not tie up all the loose ends in a sweeping FARSCAPE-like finale? Let them discover Earth (hopefully more advanced than BSG 1984) and use hybrid children to bridge the species. Through reprogramming of the regeneration system, cylons become real "Peacekeepers" - defenders of humanity against the technologically superior militaristic society they discovered earlier that is now chasing them all across the galaxy. Big battle at end, bad guys defeated, bright future ahead, end of story, and no need for BSG V3.
Off Topic: Galactica Toys.... by Hairy Nutsack	Jan 15th, 2007 04:59:53 PM

Complete with potentially deadly missiles and super-powerful spring launching mechanism to ensure said bullets will lodge in the throat of small children. Suck that, beeyatches.

Cancelled (NOT) by Yogsoggoth	Jan 16th, 2007 11:15:30 AM
Straight from Lana Kim, the Sci-Fi Channel publicist "BSG has not been cancelled and there’s has been no talk of cancellation or the show not being renewed for another season." I guess some people have nothing better to do than start rumors.
I know it's not cancelled.... by Hairy Nutsack	Jan 16th, 2007 12:15:17 PM
...but why for fuck's sake is SciFi letting the cancellation story sit on the front page of AICN without addressing it officially? Also, I've been monitoring their boards and the admins keeps deleting any posts or threads about this story. WTF!?!?
SciFi has responded to the rumor... by Yogsoggoth	Jan 16th, 2007 01:23:11 PM
by issuing a statment through Galactiac.com. I searched the message boards at SciFi.com and found a few references to the rumor. It's BS, pure and simple. So Harry, where is the righteous anger you promised if this proved to be BS?
