I expected Vipers and Cylon Raiders flew out of the machine after opening it. Great Battlestar Galactica soundtrack

The Civ 4 theme keeps me at the selection screen far longer than any other game ever, it is truly an epic score. Battlestar Galactica had this type of fusion music as well, and I loved it. It is funny how much of the message of music is not in the words, but how they sound; I don't understand a word they are saying, but they say so much.

Fixed and thanks.

First of all, spoiler alert above please.

As someone who viciously hated the ending of Battlestar Galactica, I gotta say that this ending was far better. I gotta gather my thoughts a bit more and watch it again to make more pieces fit, but all in all, I have a good feeling about it.

Lost was always a show that showed and used supernatural elements, so the ending felt natural to me. In BSG the show prided itself on being more "tied to our reality" and turned on its head and fucked us over.

This just shows the problem with X-Files, Battlestar Galactica, Lost and most US TV shows in general. There's no coherent message tying the show together or clear reference material, they simply write as they go along and string it out as far as audiences allow them or to the point where they simply run out of any ideas, at which point they have to find a way to quickly tie together everything that's happened in some 5/10+ seasons. Obviously this ends in disappointment most of the time. If you want a coherent and resolving plot, go watch some good anime TV shows. The fact that they're based on reference material and typically peak at 13, 26 or 52 episodes mean they don't have these issues.

I gave up on the Lost main storyline a long time ago, the sticking point has always been the genuinely interesting back stories and developed characters. In some cases, especially with the series stalwarts which were never killed off, they took them maybe an arc too far into multiple personality disorder, but on the whole this has always been the best part of the show for me. Still can't help feeling dissapointed. It wasn't that they didn't resolve everything, it's that they didn't address anything. And saying that you're leaving things purposely open to interpretation is a synonym for laziness.

Very similar to one I posted a little over a day or so ago, not sure if it would be considered a dupe:

I can't even list my expectations and hopes for this title.

After the inglorious fuckup that was Rogue Warrior pretty much the whole reputation of Rebellion as a studio rests on the success of this game;
also, there is rumor (which makes sense) that the fate of Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines which is supposedly finally due this year and is also published by SEGA will be sealed by the results of AvP; and I can't even begin to describe how much it would suck if a Gearbox project which was penned by Battlestar Galactica writers was canceled.

At least so far the promotional stuff looks promising. Here's hoping the end result won't disappoint.

Yeah, Event Horizon does the sci fi horror damn well. The problem with the way sunshine does it, is that it tries to be something different and then sorta falls back on blood and gore. That's sorta my main gripe with battlestar galactica, it tried really hard to be a story about people with realistic sci-fi, and then suddenly veers off and becomes something completely different.

Event Horizon is a sci-fi horror flick and it knows it. The same way Lost is supernatural, where it doesn't feel bad the way it does in BSG.

Event Horizon's idea of hell reminds me a lot of Warhammer 40k, with living ships and chaos and so on.

In reply to this comment by Drax:
Event Horizon is pure badace. I saw it originally on a humongous screen with a bass system so loud the seats shook when the asteroid at the beginning passes in front of the camera.

The spinning shot of Daylight Station actually gave me a sense of vertigo.. then the scary parts eventually came.

Then I got to go home to my little cabin like home in an area that had no street lights, and my roommate was out of town.

Very few movies get under my skin, that one did.. big time. I cry a little inside whenever I hear a fellow geek bash that movie.

...oh and I love the little connections to Hellraiser.

In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
I liked this movie apart from the last part, where it goes all slasher/horror, which is at odds with the rest of it, I think.

In related news, Event Horizon is the most awesomest spacy scifi slasher horror movie ever made! (Apart from alien.)

Some of the enhancement in battlestar and enemy of the state are pretty realistic, takes them many many many hours.

I don't think debt collector is a very good occupation during an "end of the world" scenario.

Good thinking. Oh wait, the US goverment already thought of that.

I dig it. It's got the seriousness of Battlestar without the hopelessness, which drove me crazy. I'd love for it to take on a few more aspects of a SG show, like adventure and exploration, but I get that they want to set up the series with a real thorough look at their situation on the ship, rather than just jumping into a "planet of the week" format, which will probably happen once they get a little bit more control of the ship. If I recall correctly, Atlantis was similar.

I'm still not over how popular Battlestar was, considering that I hated it for the depressing shakey-cam crap that it was. But SGU is toned down from that, so it's better.
