Battlestar Galactica

[digitard]

Man... I've never seen the show until this weekend, but its good. I had no draw to watch it. I gave up on the 'sci-fi' series of shows after TNG ended. I'm just not a big 'sci-TV' person.

I mean... I LOVE 'the 4400' but thats more of a modern day sci-fi style show, but nothing else like Stargate or anything appealed to me.

Well... I switched out the entertainment center on my TV on Sunday because I had issues w/ how high it was and I wanted a more neutral 'bench' style stand so that the TV blended more w/ the simplicity look of the room and I turned on a random HD channel and they were playing a marathon. I sat down for 20mins to watch and make sure the TV height was okay and I got sucked in. I ended up recording all the episodes on my DVR and watched em all day Monday. Its a great show!

I'm anxiously looking forward to the new season on SCI-FI now (although not being in HIDEF will make me sad.

Its a great show... and it looked GREAT in High Definition.

Great setup there! Love the SNES

Yea, I've been watching it whenever I catch it on TV and love it. I havn't really had the commitment to sit down and watch it so I've missed some off the episodes, and have watched most of them out of order. But it's a great show. I'm going to try to watch all this new season.

The original Mario owns...

[digitard]

Yeah,
Mario on a 50" DLP is great...lol. Its actually REALLY hard to play cause Mario is so large it just doesn't 'flow' right and I keep over jumping things. It was the wifes idea... she loves 'SUPER MARIO WORLD' to death. I personally was a 'MARIO KART' person... or an original NES person (ikari warriors, legendary wings and of course... 720)

In mario kart single player, why is bowser so fast.

[digitard]

Its all a balance issue... Bowser is the fastest, but his steering/control sucks.

Yoshi is the fastest accelerating... but his top speed is just average.

I always used KOOPA TROOPA myself.

[Will Wood]

Man it's been too long since I've played Mario Kart....

[digitard]

Its still a blast... even in its pixelated big screen version.

I'd still rather play MARIO KART than half the 'current generation' videogames on my XBOX or PS2.

Personal favorite... playing 2 player on the GHOST HOUSE 1 level w/ that lil ramp you can feather, or boost, jump over to.

I was on the fence with that show for a while ... I wasn't quite sure if I liked it or not until that episode where they had to blow up the Cylon base and it ended with Baltar beleiving he was the Hand of God. That was the first time the show made me go "damn!".

[tribalman]

yeah, the show is good. also check out the mini series that was on last year. sci-if put out the mini series to see if it could get enough backing behind battlestar before they made it into a show. sci-if had a lot of flops at that point. and a lot of really good shows that didn't last (farscape? really good. not enough funding to continue). also, check out stargate seasons 1-4. those are the best. 5 was moderate, 6 down hill a bit. 7 sucks, 8 udder poop. 9, i'm scared cause they are bringing ben browder (lead character from farscape) to be a lead role . also had the actress who was Aron Soon(sp?) guest star in 8 and i think she is going to be a recurring character. anyways, watch battlestar. it's good stuff. check out mini series. also good.

all my friends are occupied all of friday night for stargate sg-1 season 9 premeir, stargate atlantis season two premier. battlestar gallactica season 2 premier.
side note, any1 watch the old "battlestar 198-" something? i heard it was crap but they didn't know too much about the story line.

[Jeffy-CanCon]

I'm a big fan of the new BSG. It's very well done. The characters are a lot more interesting than in the 1978 movie & show, and the storyline is dark and gritty, the way I like it. I'm a little worried about whjere they are going in season two with the mysticism, though.

Bonus: the chicks are hot!

[Jaan]

I just finished watching the new season premier and alls I can say is "daaaaaaaamn!"

[digitard]

Dont say a word... DONT SAY A WORD!

I'm at work and I cant watch it til I get home...lol. Plus our wedding reception is tomorrow (we did it a bit late due to time constraints) so I actually have to crash out early today cause I have to get up way early tomorrow).

I HATE YOU FOR SEEING IT ALREADY!

Luckily its on my DVR... I just cant wait til USAHD gets picked up by my cable company (Cox) so I can watch it in HIDEF again.
