I never watched the old V, so it won't bother me.

When I was a kid, my dad had taped the movie version of the Battlestar Galactica pilot, and that, Star Wars and the Secret of NIMH were my favorite movies when I was a young boy.  The new, terrible Battlestar Galactica is deeply offensive to me.

I've stopped being enraged by the raping of my childhood. I'll just but the DVD sets of the old shows and enjoy the memories.

The V trailers don't look too bad yet. And it will probably easily be better than the second V series (where the Visitors return).

Cool. We expect nothing less than for you to sneak on set and get us some video.

Just saw the last telemovie, which was sort of a clip show and otherwise didn't feature any of the main cast except for the fat guy (tho it did have Dean Stockwell -- who always delivers and was underutilized in the series -- in spades).




And the plan is... there is no plan!

Because it sucks.  Starbuck is a man.  Recognize.

Quoteand if you want creepy to get her genes into "our" gene pool, she was mating with beings that had no language

More likely raped by beings that had no language.  Along with a good portion of the female fleet members that didn't die right away.  The scattered, starving bands of colonials probably ended up selling off their women to the grunting savages for scraps mammoth meat.
Language has certainly been around for more than 100,000 years. It may have been less compex but it was language.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It took you seven months to come up with that response?  :P

So I saw the Plan.

And I liked it.

Of course, one needs to have seen the series, even more, it needs to be fresh in your mind for the best enjoyment.

Not much 'action' per see, but it's still great.

I heard there is another one of these movie coming, and I shall wait.

Given the seven months you've been researching this topic I will cede the floor to you on this, the Battlestar Galactica proto humans may indeed have had a language.

It wasn't bad - aside from the first 20 minutes showing us the attack the rest was mostly filler.  However I can't shake the feeling of... staleness.  The last part of the finale really cheapened the series.   :(

Do you have more info on this next movie?  Will it be directed by Olmos as well?
