Looks interesting but it won't beat the original series.

If I am not mistaken, these are effects shots from the original series.

That looked like it could have been easily fatal for a bystander (or one of the masked heroes) with just about any variation in the situation. A miniature Batmobile is certainly one of the more exotic items to be killed with. It is rich material for the one tasked with eulogizing.

Title fixed.

Correction Arvana - It's 4 themes total. I don't believe the last 15sec or so is an actual theme just a tie up of the overall feel of each.
Star Trek : Original Series, Star Trek : Deep Space 9, Star Trek : Voyager, last one is Star Trek : The Next Generation

I was somewhat embarrassed to realize I recognized each of them within 2sec of the opening notes. But then ST:OS is all over the place, ST:DS9 is probably my favorite theme (if not show) and ST:Voy was probably almost my favorite series just barely under ST:TNG.

These gentlemen do a massive credit to the themes, played just beautifully. Also, I'm about 80% convinced that a large part of the reason ST:Enterprise failed so miserably (besides the show itself) is that it was the first series to step away from the grand brass orchestral opening and instead went with that piss ant contemporary music crap. How can you feel as if your actually in ST or about to set off on a grand adventure with THAT crap as the start? Go listen to the ST:Enterprise theme after this and see if you aren't immediately turned off to the series just based on the opening theme alone.

Not since Star Trek, The Original Series, has been seen such a blatant setup for the showing of male chest.

Not impressed!

Not sure about this. Mckellen gives me hope but otherwise this could just be a hollow echo of the original series. Also it's tough to beat Portmeirion as a location.

And if you thought the writers of Lost could spin out storylines forever there might be no end to what can be done with this.

Never saw this guy on the original series. Magic !

The show jumped the shark as soon as they turned Starbuck into a girl.

It was well made for the most part, and I watched it to the end (eventually). But that doesn't mean I forgive them for abandoning everything that was good about the original show.

I would have been happier if they had just called it something else, with new character names and everything, and give credit to the original series as an inspiration.

I grew up watching the original series on KTLA Channel 5. (RIP) While there are some excellent episodes in TNG, it's the original series I'll always go back to.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

OH, should mention that I did enjoy the nods to the original series in the final episode. I was waiting for Dirk Benedict to show up.

At least we now know who sang the original series of Star Trek's opening theme song.

There are fans who think Star Trek has good continuity??? It's FAMOUS for it's lack of continuity! Within the original series itself there were plenty of examples of self-contradiction. Add to that all the movies, books, and what, 4 other TV series, and it would be impossible to keep everything straight.

No, Star Trek finds its strength in its malleability, where the facts of the universe conform to the story being told, not the other way around. And the fans who try to make everything fit together perfectly are laughed at by those who just like a fun sci-fi show.

Still, it is funny to see some of the big booboos, like Troi kissing Riker with a beard so many times...

I wanted more.. I have to admit, I don't remember all the details from the whole series. And lots of the time I watched, I was very tired and a bit drunk, so I might have forgotten a lot.

Though wyhen I heard that there was going to be a Galactica remake, and Starbuck would be famela, I was not happy. I had a majot crush on Starbuck when I watched the original series, and a female Starbuck, wtf??

But I nreally grew fond of Kara! I love Aeryn Sun in Farscape, and Kara was like her.. kick-ass hero, who was soft inside. I really would have wanted to know more about her.

I really did not care much about Baltar.. He was way to weird and cryptic and crazy the whole series long. This Adama was way more human.,, and in the end, I wish he could have lived happily ever after with Roslin..

Oh, and what is the life span of a cylon like Tigh? Obviosly he eventually dies without resurrection. And what about Heras?

And what do Cylon Centurions do for fun anyway? Cruise the galaxy and.. ?

Like I said, I probably have forgotten more than I remember right now. I just wanted to know aboiot Starbuck!

I hope 'Lost' gets some better closure and explanation.

1) WTF Starbuck was when she returned.

I think this was attempt to be faithful to original series and the Crystal Ship. I think she is either related to "God" ala Baltar/Six Angels and/or like the Crystal Six person that appears to Starbuck in that one episode with the pregnant woman/test and the Scilon that he becomes a buddy with.

2) Why was Starbuck repeatedly called the harbinger of death if she actually sent everyone to this lush green planet to repopulate humanity?

This is a much passed around mistake. I think she was only called harbinger of apocalypse. Which does not mean death, but change / rebirth.

3) Was Starbuck's father really Daniel, the last Cylon "child" created by the final five? If so, was her mother human? How did they successfully breed?

Ron Moore was clear about this in some podcast (or so I've read). Daniel was just that, killed by jealous super evil Cavil. Starbuck was not cylon ever. Also the dead/reborn Starbuck could have seen her father/piano man just like the Baltar/Six visages.

----
The only minorly interesting thing about the cop-out ending with "Eve" and crap is that Cylon DNA is literally built into the human nature and could explain how similar humans end up making the same Cylons eventually. It's like secret code waiting to be expressed. Of course the whole concept of Centurions makes zero sense then. I still don't understand why they were cludged into this TV show once skinjobs introduced.

Major plot flaw is that Cavils etc. know they have all the time in the world. Even if they felt tricked or double crossed they would not blow up ship containing Hera. That would be suicide for their race. Plus they downloaded half of the "stream" isn't that a good start? It's still not clear why the people who invented Resurrection could never recreate it. Did it really take all five of them? Also, how did they ever build the one Resurrection ship then? Could they never repair it or study it? What if it got hit by a random gamma burst or something.

I still can't understand.. How did Saul grow old? How did Cavil wipe memories and insert them five like 50 years prior to nuking planet. They clearly could make more clones of themselves even if there is no resurrection, can't they just go clone crazy and share their thoughts anyways??

Also, what would never happen is sending fleet into sun. Also, no scilons would choose to live on Earth, especially if they all have to split up. And I guarantee one captain would keep crazy weapons stash and technology to be supreme ruler of the new Earth. Besides most of these small groups of people would be killed by tribals in no time. I just can't see giving up all your medicine and stuff like that. It's lame throwback to M. Night movie.

This is unconstitutional. CommunistSift is going down a road that Obama has paved with bad intentions. First Choggie gets unfairly victimized, than CP420 invokes the gay tag, more drama around here than a TNT original series. I think America needs Sarah Palin in these trying times. And that's all I have to say about that.


Videosift doesn't have a constitution, you dolt. *nochannel

dag/lucky, any chance we could slap a fake account together to try it out on?
