Battlestar Galactica in HD

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the high-def-cylons dept.

Hauzer writes "Ars Technica is carrying news that I know will bring joy to some fans: Universal HD is going to be broadcasting Battlestar Galactica. They're going to run the miniseries and the first Season (2005) of the new Battlestar Galactica, starting Sunday night at 8PM, with HD repeats coming every week. Now if only Sci-Fi would provide an HD channel so we can watch when the new stuff airs!"

    I think this "Anonymous Coward" dude's a Cylon. Think about it... he's all over the place... I mean everywhere... and he keeps us confused by taking up contrary positions even with himself... My God I've seen entire threads where he argues with himself... Personally I think he's a pear short of a fruit bowl...

    - The constant cigarette is a nice way to subtly - almost subliminally - throw you off. But Ron Moore and his writers have relished in making the cylons as nuanced, flawed and unexpected as the humans. A cigarette-smoking cylon is a brilliant touch.

    It's also a great way to kill the people on Battlestar. Via passive smoke.

  4. It helps that Ron Moore is co-creator, though. by MtViewGuy · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think the biggest reason why the revival of Battlestar Galactica has worked so well is the fact one of the co-creators of the revival is Ronald D. Moore, the same person who did some of the very best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

    This is why I can't wait for the first ten Second Season episodes that will be shown later this Summer. :-)

    The only problem I ever have with the show is I'm busy lusting after the new, female Starbuck, then she tilts her head and looks a certain way and all of a sudden she's transformed herself into Macaulay Culkin. I find that VERY disturbing.
