Battlestar Galactica
I had made myself a promise to blog only about the class in this blog, but I am about to break my promise. Oh well, I can't be perfect.
I just got done watching another great episode of Battlestar Galactica and I am still amazed at the differences between the original series and this one. I still remember 25 some years ago, when I was about 7, me and my dad would cancel everything in our lives and watch Battlestar Galactica, in black and white. Those were the days... It was still a great show despite all the technical limitations. I remember Starbuck was a man and I was totally in love with him. So seeing him reincarnated as a woman always takes me by surprise watching the new series. But it is kind of interesting to see that they are using hand-held camera techniques to shoot the battleship scenes. I don't think I ever watched a sci-fi that uses that technique ever. And the Saylons (not sure if I spelled this correctly) are definitely new and improved in this new series. As a matter of fact, there are no close up shots of the Saylons in the new series, but there were in the old one. And Saylons that took the shape of humans were unheard of, forget about them being self-generating! When you killed one of those suckers, they died, period.
It is kind of scary being old enough to compare the old version of the series to the new one, LOL.

I just got into the new BG! A few friends reccomended it, and I downloaded this review of the past 2 seasons free of iTunes. I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I like all the political and surrent parallels you can compare between the real world today and the plot of Battlestar. I feel like al the different copies of people will get confusing to follow (with the Cylons (i think that's how its spelled) having multiple shells/bodies. But I'm trying to find some nice, cheap way to watch the new season since I don't have the SciFi channel.
Can you download the first two seasons free??? If so talk to me, but for the love of god, don't publish it in the blog. We can talk about how to do this privately after class...
haha, well the review was an hour long recap of all major plot lines in season 1 and 2 offered through the iTunes store free. The basic marketing idea is to get customers caught up for season 3 so they'd purchase the new episodes. I'll tell you more about it tommorow.
