Title: Reasons why the original BSG is so much superior...
Post by: Martinus on August 11, 2005, 06:04:52 pm
[color=66ff00]1. The shots they created were so good they used them over and over.
2. Female characters were properly utilised as objects to be lusted over, there was none of this 'equality' nonsense.
3. Their actual names were Boomer and Apollo.
4. Female costumes were suitably scant, nobody in their right mind would put women in sensible attire on a military vessel.
5. Plots were more straightforward, no unnecessary twists were utilised in the storyline.
6. They had this ultra cool half dog, half robot.
7. Space is supposed to be camp.

Can you think of any more? ;)

8.) Boxy was an addorible bundle of sweetness, rather than the realistic brat he is the the new one. :D

I dunno, the original BSG was a plot twist, in the end, especially when you step back from the details and really look at it. Much like Narnia in that regard (though not nearly as well done).

[color=66ff00]I'm being desperately cynical mik. ;)

I'm hoping for a bit of friendly sparring with the die hard fans of the original. :)

On with the show:
9. The cylons had that cool godzilla 'guy in a suit' vibe going for them.

10. Original BSG had a better budget as obviously proved by the fact that they could afford to have the Centurions speak.

11. Original BSG had better music. When have you seen a new series character boogie on down to one of the reimagined series tunes?

I read somewhere how the original so-and-so from the old BSG is *****ing about how the show has lost it morals, how it's all dark instead of optimistic, how the religious aspect was toned down, on and on.

Screw that, I like dark. I like actual character development and plot twists. Now the Cylon basestars on the other hand look like the CG guys had 15 minutes left to finish the models, said "screw it" and hit the random extrude button.

Interesting thread. Backward, but interesting. I'll play along.

There is  only one element of the original I find superior to the current series:


Athena
(http://www.battlestarpegasus.com/images/actors/marenjensen_small.jpg)


Mmmmm. I bet she could suck the sheen off of chrome.

Got Milf?

[color=66ff00]Yeah, a skill like that would make her a formidible opponent for a Cylon.

SPACE channel is re-running the original series.  Hilarious cartoons...they have guys with the original Cylon Centurions dressed up and watering grass and mowing lawns and then something about coming out of retirement.  Awesome ads :)
