Star Trek Vs Star Wars

Urgh, Baltar.

Adama: We need a Cylon detector.
Baltar: Oh, their spines glow bright red during sex, we done here?

How did nobody notice? Those people were going at it like rabbits.

I don't think Baltar ever bent the cylon over a desk or anything, so perhaps he didn't see the red spinal glow.

And nobody else notices? Like rabbits, dude. All of them except for the guy who was in Quantum Leap.

Mmhm, scenes like that were a good demonstration of obfuscation through jargon. It's like Jonson's The Alchemist, but in the future with robots almost!

Starbuck is not a female, damnit!

Wait...did they make BOOMER a female too?!?!?!?

[tzor]

Star Trek if you like public television, Star Wars if you like soap operas?

NASA employees,Astrophysicists almost always say Star Trek over Star Wars so that makes sense.

Did I ever mention I had an astrophysics minor?

The reboot BSG was amazing and should be part of the conversation.

Never saw it; don't ever want to see it. Those writers wouldn't know what the original BSG series was even if they actually saw all of the scripts (which they did ... ironically enough).

When Baltar says "I know that voice" in the original series the whole series made sense.

I didn't even know there was an original BSG before this one

Do you realize that the original BSG was the first sci fi series to feature voice to text translation software?

Why if it wasn't for ...
But let's forget that ... OK?
I mean it works with Highlander, right?

Galactica 1980 NEVER HAPPENED. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Just a nightmare I had when I started college.

Not trolling...I've not watched a single episode of the lazy Battlestar Galactica.

Indeed.

BSG was pretty good until the last season. The last season almost ruined the whole show for me.

Anybody else a fan of Babylon 5?

I love that storyline.

Yay! Although Crusade was kinda disappointing.

I love that storyline.

Just starting Season 2. I do like the storyline so far a great deal...but some of the actors seem a bit wooden to me.

It gets a little bit better, but not much in terms of acting. That was one of the show's main weaknesses. On the upside, the Narn and the Centauri get more of a role, and they're much more fun.

Yes, I got a little annoyed when I first realized that the meta plot was closed from day one, but I really think this was the most complex long term series in the entire history of TV.

You forget about Days of Our Lives.

You forget about Days of Our Lives.

Days of Our Lives is an example of a well written medium term plot system that was so well written it could continue through a significant number of seasons. None of the writers were given plot lines for what would be happening two or three years down the line as was the case in Babylon V where the creator knew how the series would end when the series started. Soap Operas have to deal with significant changes to plot lines because of the movement of cast members; characters have to "die" on a moment's notice and either return from the dead or somehow have identical twins no one ever knew about should the cast member return to the series.

So in that sense it lies between Babylon V and a purely epsiodic series (like TOS Star Trek where you can literally see the epsiodes in a random order and not notice anything wrong).

How many times has Stefano died now? HA!

You know, weirdly, I loved every episode and season. I think I've watched it three times.

Also I had a huge hard-on for Starbuck (the female version).

I am with you, TGD. I've watched it through all the way once, and seen portions of other episodes with friends. But I've had a hankering to watch it all the way through again this summer.

Also, for TGD and ME:
