I badly want to see this new series, but I want to see the old one first so that I can compare the differences and get all the in jokes !

I have the old one. I grabbed the DVDs as soon as I saw it. I had been a fan of the old BG and was grumbling about the changes in the new ones. Not many wanted to watch the old one.

I was actually contemplating buying the old series. But it was a little expensive for me. Is it worth the money? I had fond memories of the series as a kid and even saw the BG display at Universal Studios before. Loved it then. Not sure if I really want to sully the memory of the old series by re-watching it now and realising how "crap" it was....

I just saw the old BSG series available for rent at Laser Flair at Bukit Panjang Plaza. The old telemovie and the new BSG premier Code 1 is available at approx $50.00 each.

Hey WELCOME to the forum, SoloFalcon !

I just watched the pilot episode of the new Battlestar Galactica with the Star Trek people ( see article : Meanwhile .... in another galaxy and time....

) and I must say that I went away very impressed and wanting very much to see the rest of the series.

The scripting was very tight , deliciously dark at times, never shying away from relevent sociopolitical issues , the special effects very good, the ships very cool, and the cast was extremely attractive .

I'm definitely buying the whole series on DVD !

Don't forget the music... super cool drums/flute etc... very Kitaro like.
Too bad the OST album is available overseas...

Oh yeah .... they did use a lot of drums , which gave those space scenes a very different feel , very different from other space battle scenes .

Oh and by the way, I really love your avatar ! Cool !

I went to buy the soundtrack as soon as I finished watching the pilot some time ago. Never regretted it.

Forget Boomer, what about No.6

! Seriously, the cast and story are so good. Let's hope that Singapore brings it to TV here.

do hope it'll be sooner than later

anyway i used to think the viper mark II of the original series is very reminiscence of the x-wing

U mean Blue or Silver Spar squadron?

more of silver spar, but only bcos of its emblem. don't you think they all kinda look like a cross between the x-wing & luke's skyhopper
