no psylons???? you were looking in the wrong place - I saw plenty of Cylons

Just kidding

Was it a remake or the original with "Bonanza" star and "Face" from the A-Team?

I though it was good. I think the point was to film it from the point of view of the colonists. They have not seen or heard from the cylons for over 40 years so they are very mysterious with regards to what they have evolved into. Also the film is a pilot to a new mini series so they didn’t want to film it like a one off feature film.

I liked the new ships and also the use of technologies such as guns and missiles, no lasers of photon torpedoes in sight.

Si

PS. Sky ONE and the Sci Fi Channel are just about to being shooting the series in Canada (same place as the new series of SG1).

I really liked it - a good take on the original with a few twists, even if it was a little "Bladerunner". Bring on the series.

And number 6 - very VERY tasty (and in true "this thread is nothing without pics" style).............











That should keep you lot going for now!

Oh and a link to her Maxim shoot

I thought it was good tbh.

They dealt with the characters so much better than the original, at least they were real, argued, were drunks, insecure, Appolo and Ardama's relationship built on hate. All the grit gave it a much more realistic twist as opposed to the "Apple pie everyone is fantasic and does whats right" 70's version.

Baltar could be a great character when developed in the Series, he's not on the humans side and he's not on the cylons side, he's out for himself.

How is 6 going to deal with the new emotions of love and loss, over time will effect they way the Cylons look at Humans?
