Quote:Originally posted by jpstargazer: Someone jump in and clarify, but I think I heard (or read) something about Joss saying upon seeing Episode II, that they stole his idea, because he was doing the same thing with Firefly. It sounds like it's one of those things where two groups come up with a similar idea independent of eachother, and one comes out first. Does anyone remember where I might have gotten that? I can't remember, I've listened to so many commentaries and read so many interviews. "All I got is a red guitar, three chords, and the truth...the rest is up to you" --Bono

Quote:Originally posted by Ironspy: You know, I never noticed that in Attack of the Clones. Probably I was too busy cringing to pick up on the nuances. But still, there's a big difference between camera effects added in post-production just for the hell of it and camera effects added for the sake of internal consistency and immersion. If anyone was really immersed in Attack of the Clones for any reason, then I don't know how you could have liked Firefly, because you are made out of plastic.

Quote:Originally posted by XeroGravity: The old series was a piece of shit. The man who wrote it was forced to make a made-for-TV version of star wars. He had great ideas but had to tone them down and produce generic fodder for public consumption. The great strength of the original BSG was the fact that "the creator" of the show had creative control over the special effects. Cylons were the coolest chrome-ified robot enemies ever, led by Gaius Baltar who destroyed 12 whole planets right off the bat. Forget the gay-ass Gaius Baltar in the "re-imagined" BSG2. The original was evil incarnate, an "in-your-face" bad guy. In the new BSG, Gaius is a weak-ass boytoy who is sleeping with a Cylon (but hey, it's been re-imagined). Bonnie Hammer took over Sci-fi chan. Her influence is felt in this show. It's been "re-imagined". Did you know you aren't allowed to talk about this shit in the "official" Sci-Fi channel forums? Your posts will get deleted and your ISP banned. The new BSG has NOTHING to do with the new one. It's basically a morality play about how a bunch of political do-gooders would react in space if they had ships that could travel across the galaxies and earth were destroyed. It is not a remake of the original show. It's just a sci-fi version of daytime soap operas. But hey, what do I know? I'm just ignorant. I tried to follow the new one, in spite of everything. I quit 3-4 eps ago. When Sci-Fi chan is on a political mission to try and resemble modern-day life with modern-day issues in the middle of a science fiction show, they stop being able to make decent sci-fi. Thx Bonnie Hammer. I'm glad Gaius Baltar is a conflicted science man of conscience and cylons are just misunderstood persecuted people (oh never mind that they destroyed 12 planets and annihilated presumably trillions of people, they are misunderstood and need to have a "resistance" support-structure on board the fleet of survivors ~ adios reality, hello hollywood politics). Sci-Fi chan: You've re-imagined BSG for me and it smells like the nightly news. and PS ~ (ADAMA) E.J. Olmos will NEVER be equal in acting ability to Lorne Greene. He sucks, he sucks real real bad! XG No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

I didn't realise this was the "ONLY PEOPLE WHO LOVE BSG CAN POST HERE" thread. I guess if I'm a dissenter, I have to speak my piece, be called names, then lay down and take it... oh wait a minute... I forgot. I'm THE ONE calling people names. I'm such a shit-disturber. But of course, whats-her-name was "only poking fun" when she called me an ignorant bigot. So very self-righteous. I'm always provoking people. Get your snout out of Dark Jester's ass dude. Seriously. Dispute me on the facts (if you can). If your brain is equal to the task. Or lay another "Umm.. ok we got it the 1st time" line on me. Cheesy cop-out of an inferior intellect. I'm a "ranter", I'm a "bigot", I'm "ignorant", I'm a "troll"... I love it. Gimme more. XG oh here it comes... part deux to the "Uhh... ok we got it the 1st time" response... pt. 2: "don't you understand if you keep discussing this with him you'll only provoke him more. clearly we're intellectually elite cuz he's a (YOUR CHOICE OF THE ABOVE)." predictable as always. No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.
