Yeah, maybe they should base the series off Homeworld.

I never got sick of watching the big battles that had lots of fighters swarming around everywhere. I just imagine that with a real budget for special effects and using Maya 3D

Dang you figured out my fighting style. Instead of building a few huge battleships, i would build many small fighters and just blast at the people with them. Then bring in a dozen ion frigates and things like that to take them apart after they went for my diversionary strike craft.

But that wpuld make a great movie. Want to write the script and submit it to speilberg?

Hmm, nah. Being an engineer/scientist (I'm a computer scientist but that falls under the college of engineering. However I have trouble with legos once I get past the design stage

So I could probably come up with some cool techincal stuff, but nothing involving any kind of social creativitiy.

In the "remake" currently being planned on the Sci Fi Channel, Starbuck's gonna be a woman.

Ew.

Richard Hatch has been pitching a BG movie for years now; he even created a trailer for it, and showed it as sci-fi conventions.

They aren't going with his ideas. He's not even involved. Bonnie Hammer (Sci-Fi Channel) and Ron Moore (Roswell) want to subvert Galactica entirely, and turn it into a show about dysfunctional families.

Take a look.

Ron Moore's script was leaked into the Net. Here is some information about it, and a review:

Neutron star level dense fecal matter. That's what the remaining 5% is.

You're speaking of the one that appeared in the pilot, yes? Or did they do another one? (I gave up on Enterprise after I read a leaked version of the script a couple of months before the series debuted.

Yeah, on the pilot. It was horrible. I mean the man took off his shirt and just kept flexing his muscles while the camera zoomed on his torso to show us the gel he put on as he was caressing his muscles.

Of course the gel application room is very small. So a Vulcan female with remarkable cleavage had to slip in and undress. Of course, nobody waits for his turn in Star Trek, so it was necessary they both do it at once. Repeat the same thing for the female now.

Now comes on the techno-beat-pop-mix music.

Then to make this entirely worse, in a move that would probably belong more in American Pie, they see that they each "need a hand".

Cue long sequence of mutual caressing. Very long. Too long. They're now applying gel to each other for hours on end.

The techno-beat-pop-mix music is still playing.

Horrified, weeping and shrieking like an old grandmother who just heard the word "bra" on TV, I fumbled for the remote control and said: "Never again!"

And I did not see it ever again.

All is well that ends well I believe.

"O.K. i am watching this on Sci-fi channel. I have never seen the show before (any version). I have to say, while it is origonal (not the plots of course), some points are prety hokey.

I just watched some miniseries where they went back in time to WW2 to stop a rouge scientist from changing the course of history. "
----------
A *rouge* scientist? Yes, I believe he worked for a *foundation*. He was so evil, he made me blush. He would kill without batting an eyelash; there was no way he could makeup for his crimes... :P

Beyond a SHADOW of a doubt, those were some pretty BASE puns, Calculon, and the others here won't GLOSS over such groaners!
