  1. Sweet! I plan on buying a new graphics card and K2 PC game just to play this new cut content! Finally, atleast you, somewhat, fixed what happened, though this is nowhere near the potential K2 couldve had if LA gave OE enough time to write everything up and put it into the game. Shame will never get to play all the other cut stuff....
  2. I didn't recommend anything. I just added my opinion that I didn't like the BSG. And no, you don't remember correctly. The Shield is a pretty good show, though there are a few shows I like. I don't really watch T.V. that much, but I watched the entire first season of BSG, saw the first episode, didn't like it, but hoped that the show would somehow improve. Gave up on it after the first season was up, which is what I shouldve done in the first place.
  3. I know. But trust me, these people keep asking me if Ive looked, and I have, and like I said before, I don't like what Ive seen, which is why I don't watch it.
  4. No. And like I said before, everyone's entitled to their own opinions. And my opion, is that the new BSG isn't good. Simple as that. You want to flame me or say I'm blind or stupid for not liking it? Be my guest, you can flame me till the cows come home, but I stand by my decision. So I suppose them attacking an entire fleet of somewhat defensive Battlestars while, apparently, negotiating, isn't a terrorist tactic? Funny, considering back in the early 40's, the Japanese were 'negotiating' to get their oil back, and then attacked Pearl Harbor, which is still considered to by most Politicians and war veterans, to be almost the same as 9/11(With different goals and tactics.). Are you going to say that in SW EP2, that even though the Seperatists were in negotiations with the Republic and tried to assassinate a Republic Senator, which is almost exactly the same thing the Cylons were doing, but on a much larger scale, were not using terrorist tactics? Again, don't make me laugh, terrorist tactics can be used by anyone or anything(Robots, Droids.), just as long as they plan it right.
  5. Please, tell me! What was the "rich backstory" of the original series? If you can't see the depth of the new series, then you aren't looking. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They were trying to find a new safe haven while trying to avoid being destroyed by the Cylons and other enemies, while keeping an entire rag-tag fleet of citizens and supplies safe from Pirates and any other things that were trying to kill them and rying to keep rebellions from happening across the disgruntled citizens in the fleet. They also had some damn good subplots along with believable acting to support it. Basically, it's survival, not some stupid soap opra thats just abunch of bad drama. Now why don't you tell me the so-called 'rich backstory' of the new series, meta? And I have looked, and I don't like what Ive seen. Thats why I don't watch it. Dark_Raven: So? The OT was made in the 70's/early 80's, and A LOT of people say it's better than the Prequels. Are you saying that , say, Jar Jar Binks or Anakin Skywalker are better than Luke Skywalker? Or Han Solo for that matter? Sure, the PT had some very good acting in it (Ewan, SLJ, Liam Neeson, Christopher Lee, Ian McDiarmind.), but even that couldn't save it with all the other horrible acting around it. I found the 'Love Dialouge' in AOTC and ROTS to be very wooden and not very convincing, where in the OT, the dialouge between Leia and Han are top notch and shows some deep feelings between the two. The point is that a new version of an old movie may have good graphics, but may suck when it comes to acting, plot, etc.. At any rate, again, whatever floats your boat. I'm too tired to keep arguing and neither one of us will back down, so it's a wasted argument. You guys(And gals.) will always have your new BSG, and I'll always have my Original BSG.
  6. everything is a knockoff of something else. Classic BSG is a knockoff of Wagon Train. it is a great premise: survival as in the main story is about survival. if you wanted to do a sci-fi show that has as much "believability" as possible, it would have to be one centered around survival. Classic BSG had an enemy that was woefully incompetent and provided no real justification for Baltar's betrayal and many other silly mistakes such as the Cylon "Welcoming Party" in the pilot episode that was obviously an all-out assault on the home worlds. Not to mention the casino planet and it blowing up (obvious SW ripoffs). I like Classic BSG but the new one is much better, IMO. Classic BSG did have some fine acting, though, especially from Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict and Lorne Greene. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Woefully incompentent? Funny, considering they managed to destroy entire worlds full of humans, and literally reduced a fleet of Battlestars to just two surviving battlestars, and a rag tag fleet of defensless freighters. I suppose you're going to say that the Terrorists and Alquaeda are 'woefully incompent', even though they managed to destroy the Twin Towers and wound the Pentagon? Don't make me laugh. And the acting in the original BSG is a hell of alot better than what I've seen in the new one, atleast the Original was convincing.
  7. you are referring to Galactica 1980 which was an insincere attempt by corporate executives to create a "kid's show" for the 7pm timeslot. They basically just ripped off the name and created something that producer Glen Larson regrets doing. having said that, the shows aren't that bad if you treat them in their own right....but that is NOT Battlestar Galactica (not even classic BSG). I like the rich backstory of the new BSG and how it goes into some of the differences between the 12 colonies. I also like the backstory on Cylons--they were created primarily so the 12 colonies could wage war on each other. Now that has plausibility, not some far-fetched notion that they were created by a now-extinct lizard-like race and forgot the war is over. I also like the overtly religious nature of the show. That is one thing that is hard to do in science fiction and the new BSG pulls it off. I like classic BSG much like I do classic Star Trek. But I think Picard's ST is much better than Kirk's. And I think Olmos's BSG is much better than Greene's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whatever floats your boat, I still hate the new BSG. And I can agree with you about TSG Star Trek, but I wouldn't exactly call the new BSG's backstory 'rich', because I honestly just think the series is a cheap knockoff of the old one. thats my 2 cents on the entire thing. You guys have your new one, I have my old one.
  8. Why would female leads bother you? It is now standard procedure for women to be deployed in the frontline, so it makes sense that our fiction mirrors societal realities. Also, good, strong female leads are much more interesting to watch than lots of men running around pretending to be space-heroes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not the females and them fighting in the war against the Cylons that bother me, it's just that they changed the character's genders and literally a ripped it off of the old BSG. They couldve put forward alittle effort and easily made new names for the female characters. That and I just don't like the storyline, it was more fit for the old one than the current BSG. They couldve atleast made a new storyline(As I remember, the BSG crew actually did find Earth, but decided against populating it for fear that the Cylons would follow their trail and literally decimate Earth, since our technology is far more primitive than theirs and even one Battlestar couldn't defend against an entire fleet of Cylon Base Ships, which the Cylons would most likely send to Earth for a full scale invasion, though I think in one episode of the old version, they were pretty much destroyed in a big battle.) or new enemies(A mutinous crew and fake human androids Cylons? Come on...).
  9. Not true(On both counts.). In the Dark Fleet Trilogy, Luke learns an ancient Fallanasi technique, which he can use to cut himself off from the Force instantly, and also restablish connection to it instantly aswell. And the best thing Naga Sadow did, without the help of Dark Side Embued trinkets, was throw a small brick at Ludo Kressh's head. Seriously, people overpower the 'True Sith' wayyyyyy too much. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. I meant Luke, too. 2. Note that create everything that gave Exar Kun and himself power. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. Sure you did. 2.Sith Alchemy is different from Dark Side feats. The only thing he did was pass down his notes(Which wasn't much except how to change creatures, other living things and a few Force Techniques, though the techniques were practically useless without a Sith Amulet or any other Dark Side embued object to focus that much energy.) and his Sith Amulet, to Exar Kun, who is described as mearly a scholar by KJA himself, who created Kun. Kun or any of the other Ancient Sith isn't that powerful compared to Palpatine. Ragnos, amybe, but even he didn't do much except 'unify' the Sith, though I can clearly see that didn't help much.
  10. Well I don't watch much TV, but I do like a few shows. What I DO hate is Battlestar Galactica. It's nothing like the originals, too much drama, and they replaced some of the named male characters with females.... That and the plot, to me, is very boring.
  11. Not true(On both counts.). In the Dark Fleet Trilogy, Luke learns an ancient Fallanasi technique, which he can use to cut himself off from the Force instantly, and also restablish connection to it instantly aswell.

  12. One of. THE can be heavily argued <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, it can't. The NEC specifically states that Palpatine by ROTS, is the most powerful Sith Lord in History. I can even give you the page number and the exact quote. So no, your argument holds more water than Custer's dead body. "Sidious is the most powerful Sith Lord in History, son. Except it." Edit: Let's stay away from the personal attacks, please.
  13. Actually, he got killed by Vader, then Luke and Leia, then by Han and Empatojayos Brand (Who took his(Palpy's) spirit with him when he got killed.) . Palpatine was a wuss, even in his DE form, since that was, basically, him in his prime, and Luke was equal to him then, and only became more stronger afterwards. Still, he IS the most powerful SIth Lord in Histroy(According to the NEC, which IS canon.) .
  14. Check this out, it's the(Poorly.) English translation of ROTS from the Chinese version: http://winterson.com/2005/06/episode-iii-b...ke-of-west.html Vader:Do not want
  15. "You have left me an opening !" , I still think that they put that in there deliberately. I swear, they have some sick minds at Obsidian, kind of like the guy who put the Mandalorian computer nerd typing on your PCs chest if it's a female.
  16. I'm gonna have to agree with Calax. You can't just assume that they start working on a gam AFTER they announce it, otherwise there would be A LOT of incomplete games, which would litterally kill the Video Game Industry.
  17. Dude, you just can't except the fact that your boy Revan is not as all powerful as you claim! I brought up sources(DE Sourcebook, Power of the Jedi Sourcebook, New Essential Chronology, Dark Empire and Kevin J. Anderson, who let me remind you, WAS THE GUY WHO MADE THE CHARACTER EXAR KUN! That was HIS word on HIS character.) and quotes that back my argument, wherein YOU, are just providing your own over-biased opinion and are being a stupid ignorant Revan and Ancient Sith Fanboy, who is pouting just because he didn't get his way. You even went so far as to say Revan is more powerful than Palpatine, yet have no proof to back it up. In other words: I bring up valid points while you just bring in BS non-canon claims and n00by insults. If you can't take the heat, then get off the internet, kid. EDIT: Electro Magnetic Torpedo? Wookieepedia is NOT a reliable source, kiddo. I was just on yesterday and it said Tyvokka was the first gay Wookiee Jedi(Which is BS beyond all comprehension!). Find a CANON source(Novel, Comic, Sourcebook.) that even MENTIONS the 'Electro Magnetic Torpedo', and then we'll believe you. Let me show you what I provided to back my argument: Power of the Jedi Sourcebook: States Yoda as the most powerful Jedi Master in History(Before DE Luke, that is.) New Essential Chronology: States Sidious as the most powerful Sith Lord in History. DE Sourcebook: States that Sidious knew every Darkside technique, knew the defenses against them and that he even made a few Darkside powers himself. Kevin J. Anderson: "Kun is just a scholar." All of the above are CANON sources. KJA created Kun in the Jedi Academy books, so he has say over what his character is and isn't. And I'm not a Sidious Fanboy, I'm a fact and logic bringer. And I'm not going anywhere just because some stupid little n00b doesn't like it when he doesn't get his way. Now, I've said it once and I'll say it again:
  18. Agreed. The only feat we saw one of the most powerful of the Ancient Sith do, without the assitance of a Force Powered Object, would be Naga Sadow tossing a brick at Ludo Kressh's head. Yeah, they're 'TeH UB4R!' alright.[/sarcasm]
  19. Had to happen some time. For anyone who doesn't know about it, this is from the Star Wars:Legacy comic series. It takes place 100 years after the NJO series, and the Sith are at it again. If you'r really interested in it, check Wookieepedia for more info on Legacy. This is supposed to be the cover for issue #7 of the Legacy series.
  20. Kun did the exact same thing as sidious... heck Kun was able to survive 5k years before being purged by the jedi. He also got promicing students to kill their masters. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, he didn't. Sidious litterally infiltrated the Republic, turned it's beliefs inside out, manipulated the events of the galaxy, and swayed the Jedi's fabled 'Chosen One', to join him. Lucas in an interview on the second ROTS DVD, even states that the PT was the Golden Age of the Jedi. Kun on the other hand, was too impatient and never manipulated anything except a few weak minded Jedi. He only waged war, while Sidious did it in the backround and had backup plans just incase his original plans failed. Sidious was a Master of manipulation, Kun, as stated by KJA, was "Just a scholar.". Promicing students? They were as weak as AOTC Anakin, the only reason they got to kill their Masters, was because the Master's were caught off-guard. And Kun lived as a Spirit trapped in the Massassi Temples and wasn't even stirred until Luke made an Academy there. Sidious possessed one of his personal assassins and then used the body to transport himself to Byss, where he took on one of his own clone body's, then he waited until the Thrawn Campaign was over. Meaning he didn't have trap himself to one place, he couldve possessed anyone, he even says so in DE 1. In feats and power: Sidious>Kun. I really wish people would stop making it seem like the Ancient Sith were best things since sliced bread. They haven't doen NAYTHING comparable to what Sidious did.
