Reasons why the original BSG is so much superior...
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
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

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:

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



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

Got Milf?

I was gonna say....
SERIOUSLY...! | {The Sandvich Bar} - Rhino-FS2 Tutorial | CapShip Turret Upgrade | The Complete FS2 Ship List | System Background Package

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
