We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

So, I missed most of the Battlestar Galactica mini-series but I watched the first episode of the new tv series. I know Zoic are involved in the special effects but did anyone else notice how much the SFX resembles Firefly? Even a lot of the non-SFX seemed inspired by what Joss and Tim did; fast zooms, hand-held cameras, grittier film-stock (or post-processing) amongst other things. I was actually quite impressed by what I watched.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Jimi, Serenity actually makes a cameo in the miniseries.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The music reminds me of Firefly, too. I agree, Jimi, that Firefly influenced a lot of choices in the filming of BSG. Except, of course, for "no sound in space", that's just asking too much of a viewing audience, apparently.

Cool, that's enough to make me at least hire the DVDs :)

I must admit, I didn't take too much notice of the music but will do so during the next episode.

yeah and it's a real shame. I thought the shot from "Bushwacked" of the settler ship being destroyed, was far more powerful without the typical explosion noises.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Runs through, strewing daffodils and leeks.

Happy St. David's Day!

CaBil, it's on BBC2 intermittantly and I'm sure I could tape an ep or two for you. But - do you have a PAL-compatible VHS and TV?

Unfortunately no. Any way you can burn it on a disk?
