I've only got as far as buying the pilot thingy on DVD.

Guard Dog Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Hmmm. I wonder who much it would cost to FedEx and envelope to AU or NZ. And have a package FedEx'ed back.

Humodour Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 How do you mean? I have the entire series + Razor and I live in Aus...
Guard Dog Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 How do you mean? I have the entire series + Razor and I live in Aus... I was wondering if anyone down there will let me send them $70 AU and a FedEx label and have them buy it for me and ship is back here to the US. That is unless Amazon UK will ship to the US or I can get it on ebay. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
roshan Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I watched Battlestar Galactica Razor. It was boring.
Tale Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Why are you looking to get BSG from abroad? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Shryke Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 coz it's not out in the US or UK or something apparently when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Tale Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 It's absolutely available in the US. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Shryke Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 maybe it's just in the UK or something then wait, we are talking about season 3 on dvd right? when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Tale Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Wait... season 3 on DVD? I had forgotten there even was a season three! So, maybe that is UK. Move along, nothing to see here. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Guard Dog Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Season 3 is not out in the US or UK or Europe and there is no idea when or if it ever will be. Fortunately there is such a thing a ebay.

Slowtrain Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I thought Razor was pretty good, although I had thought it was going to be more about Cain and the what happened to the Pegasus between the time they jumped out of the shipyards to the time they met the Galactica. I wasn't expecting as much present time story mixed with some flashbacks. I thought the flashbacks were more interesting than the present time story that played out. My only real annoyance was that the thing Cain kept fondling wasn't a razor, it was a knife. Petty, I know, but what can I say. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Humodour Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I disliked Cain and felt the constant flashbacks were an annoyance which ruined the flow of the present time plot (one which I loved - the "new" enemy is so much more cooler than the Cylons).
Gorgon Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 They meet a whole feet of these obsolete Cylon raider ships and how do they handle this, Lee says 'there was a whole fleet of these, they jumped us'. ? Budget special effects I guess. Same as in ressurection ship where we have an anticipated huge set piece battle, and all we get are like 3 seconds of action sequences. I thought Razor was ok, except that the cutting back and forth managed to ruin much of the suspense of both stories. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

astr0creep Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) I would've prefered, also, an entire "movie" about the Pegasus and maybe a flash forward to present day, at the very end, to show what happens to this new *cough*cylon*cough*. But it was pretty good. It would've made a great arc for season 3, which needed more action. Edited December 14, 2007 by astr0creep http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
astr0creep Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 I dont watch the series, as i am living in asia and this series is not on air out here. So i just cant tell you my views about it. I don't live in Asia and therefore I can't tell you my views about it and yet, I do not hesitate in posting about it even though it is irrelevant to the thread in question. That being said, welcome to the forums. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Arkan Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 So I just finished watching Season 3. Holy cow...this is the first time I've ever watched an entire series in about 3 weeks time (thank you, DVD). So, this Raptor thing...is it a continuation of the story or just flashbacks? And, as I always do, after I finish watching something, I usually head over to IMDB for a little light reading on whatever I just watched. Well, to my surprise, NONE of the reviews are positive for this show. Why? I love it. I couldn't stop watching it. One episode would end, and I would have to start another. Is the original series really THAT much better? Anyway, what of season 4? Is it halfway over as of this year? How can I watch the episodes that have already aired? I know the fate of the show is up in the air due to the writers strike, which sucks...I want to know what happens!!! ARRRRGGGGHHHH! "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Humodour Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 The writers said the writers strike has essentially destroyed BSG.
Arkan Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) The writers said the writers strike has essentially destroyed BSG. I guess there's always "hope" Was there at least part/half of season 4? Edit: And why? As far as I've read, all the actors would more than likely be willing to fill their roles (what else are they going to do?). And the writers...well, they can just finish writing the storyline later, amirite? AMIRITE? Edited January 5, 2008 by Arkan "Of course the people don't want war.

Gorgon Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I thought bad writing had pretty much destroyed BSG, all those epidsodes that weren't about anything in particular. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Season 4 is the final season (thye've been denied renewal) and they'll have to do a finale at episode 11, ruining the plot they were going for.
Gorth Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 Season 4 is the final season (thye've been denied renewal) and they'll have to do a finale at episode 11, ruining the plot they were going for. :sad: I finally got around to watch season 1, which I bought a week or so ago. I liked it. Now I have to go and buy season 2 >_ “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Arkan Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Maybe it's because it's all so fresh in my memory, after having really just run through the entire series so quickly...but damnit, I REALLY want to see where this series is going and I REALLY REALLY don't want the show to just die in its current state. That, for reasons I don't understand, would actually make me angry. Why be angry? And who to be angry with? The writers for striking? Or the executives for not ponying up the pennies? Gah! I want more Battlestar Galactica!!! Edit: I guess I'm being selfish...as I've only been waiting a few days. Some of you will have been waiting for what, a year?

Gorgon Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 It's pretty strange when you think of all the other sci fi channel shows that are pretty unremarkable and seem to go on forever. Maybe battlestar costs more to make with the large cast, I dunno. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
