no there's three. As for using stock footage there's difference of using stock footage sometimes to save money/time and using it all the time.

Don't be retarded.

Their methodology is either awful or dishonest. Either way, presenting themselves as authoritative is deceptive. It's not a matter of liking or disliking. It's a matter of the material on them being pure, unsubstantiated bullshit.

Incorrect. In modern shows, the use of clearly stock footage is a big no-no (unless that show is Andromeda).

I can hate them because they present themselves as actual technical analysis sites while being nothing more than fanwanking and pulling shit out of thin air.

Have a very nice day.

Wait, three? I only know of two.

TOS (aka old BSG), the 1980 TV movie(or the video game) and the neo BSG

BSG, neo-BSG, and that abomination with "80" in its title.

Have a very nice day.

There was never no such thing as Galactica 80, so there are indeed only two.

The thing with BSG is that there's very little evidence with which we can quantify their weaponry.

BSG, neo-BSG, and that abomination with "80" in its title.

No I'm pretty sure Spanky has it right, there were only two, there was never a Galactica 1980 series.

Now if you'll excuse me I have another date with the lobotomist.

Too bad there is the "Galactica 1980" unless the owner say otherwise (and even if there wasn't you can consider the video Game the third then).

Galactica 80 has been virtually disowned by everyone, even the people who made it.

What videogame? You mean the no-name cash-in that doesn't count to the continuity for shit and no one cares about?

Uraniun235 · Post by **Uraniun235** » 2005-07-31 04:48pm

No, I'm pretty sure there was never a Galactica 1980, and that even if it was, there would be no harm in collectively agreeing to give the finger to the owners and ignoring it outright.

XANATOS is either severely mentally handicapped or drop-dead stupid. Every post just proves this further and further.

Anyway, I tape the new series every week for its marvelous visual design and enthralling drama, plot, action, characters, and themes. I am thankfull to report I have not once heard anyone scream:
"WE CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT MUFFIT!!!!!!!!"

Galactica 80 shares the same plane of existance as Highlander 2.

[size=0]SHUT UP YOU SAY
what a nasty person you are. i say there is only one galactica
because the new show has nothing in common with the original
other than the name and a few ripped off plot ponints .
from what i have read in a fit of originality the writers of this
show are about to start re-writing some of the scripts from
galactica. namely the living legdend the thieving bastards are
even to turn Kane into a woman

While XANATOS is being rude and an asshole...

I have to agree that this new 'Battlestar Galactica' is not even close to being a remake of the old and, IMO, overall not nearly as entertaining or fun.

But seriously XANATOS calm the fuck down. Sheesh. It's not that important.

XANATOS, get your shit together or shut up. Whether you acknowledge Neo-BSG or not is something I file under "don't give a shit" in my mind. The fact is, it exists, is not frowned upon apart from the real die-hard eejits such as yourself and is doing well. You remind me of those that argue the latest incarnation of Dr. Who isn't really part of the franchise because it's modernised. Boo-fracking-hoo.

EVERYONE agrees Galactica 1980 deserves its own circle of Hell, but what you're saying is simply cuckoo talk.

hahaha, I don't see how the status of nBSG has anything to do with a thread about a site that's about the 70's Galactica.
