Battlestar Galactica Blog

According to Aint it Cool News it looks like there is a Battlestar Galactica feature film that is under consideration, however it won’t be coming to theaters. Details are scarce, but if the film is approved it would be going directly to DVD. Currently there is no planned release date, or any information on a storyline. I was really hoping that any BSG feature film would come out on the big screen, however given that there are no concrete plans yet it will be interesting to see what happens.

I rented Star Trek Legacy for the Xbox 360 the other day, and was very disappointed. Even though the graphics looked great, the controls of the game were awful. I played STL for about 30 minutes before taking it out and returning it to Blockbuster. For some reason playing Star Trek Legacy got me thinking that it would be nice to play a BSG game. I found the following bit of information about a rumored BSG game on Sci Fi’s website:

Gaming Web site 1up.com reported a rumor that a massively multiplayer online game based on the SCI FI Channel original series Battlestar Galactica is in the works. According to the site, a listing recently appeared on the EB Games Web site for an Xbox 360 MMO game published by Vivendi, which owns 20 percent of NBC Universal… Vivendi told the site that it is “looking into” the listing, but did not comment any further. The title has since been removed from the EB Games site.

Happy New Year! Today Time Magazine released their 25 Top Ten for 2006. Here is an excerpt from their list:

“A high-minded war turns into a brutal quagmire. Terrorist sleepers turn the public paranoid. And the victims of an attack find themselves sacrificing liberty to defend it. Sound like any planet you know? The topical parallels became deeper and more chilling in Seasons 2 and 3 of this thinking viewer’s space opera….”

“BG is a pretty mind-blowing work of straight sci-fi, and Season 3’s exploration of the mysterious culture of the quasi-human, deeply religious Cylons may be even more compelling than the show’s politics.”

I just finished watching the Pegasus episode for the second time. First of all I thought the episode was one of the best out of the entire season. I had a few comments:

- In the beginning of the episode when Galactica realizes that the unknown ship was in fact the Pegasus, I hated the music they played. I don’t know it just didn’t seem to fit.

- After watching it again the second time, I picked up a few things that I didnt see before. When Adama was talking to Roslin about Admiral Cain, it seemed to me that Adama kind of respected her but also didn’t like the fact that she was younger than him.

- The drama during the standoff between the two ships and how Adama stood up to Cain really made this episode great. See the video I have posted below.

- The Baltar scenes with the captured six were too long. I wish they cut it down.

Recap of Pegasus: Season 2.5 Episode 10 - Original Broadcast Date: 9/23/2005

The crew is stunned to learn that the Battlestar Pegasus also survived the attack on the Colonies, but tensions run high when the Pegasus’s Admiral Cain assumes command of the fleet. Baltar is assigned to examine the Pegasus’s own Cylon prisoner, a battered woman who looks like Number Six.
