Feature Story

Post Comment to: Season One of Ronald D. Moore's BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Arrives on DVD

Message you're replying to New to the BSG Fold By GoodDogPorthos Just bought season 1 of BSG, and I've watched the mini-series and the first 2 episodes. I'm totally enthralled and engrossed and completely agree that it deserves all the hype it's received. I'm surprised that more people on this board aren't a little more vocal about the price of the set though. 50 bucks for 13 episodes (OK 16 if you include the mini-series) is almost in line with the Trek sets in terms of price for quantity. I'm not complaining. Thus far, it's worth every penny. It does however, make me sad that people are turning their backs on Trek instead of appreciating both. But I don't want to engage in any debates. Not to be completely morbid, but I'm hoping that BSG eventually will offer-up some sort of optimism for the survival of the human race as I get further into the story, 'cause it's not looking very hopeful at present. Although it's riveting; it's equally depressing to think of a future unfolding like that for us as a species. But perhaps the optimism that we'll actually survive beyond all that we know right now, to even continue to exist that long has to be enough. God knows if a space-fairing colony of humans showed up tomorrow, looking for the mythical "promised land" of earth, they'd probably turn around and look for somewhere else to call home. Anyhow, just out of curiousity (and left field) does the character of Starbuck turn out to be bisexual or a lesbian at any point? Furthermore are there any gay or bisexual characters on BSG? Haven't noticed any, and I somehow thought for a show that's been held in such regard for being realistic that that barrier would finally be crossed. Oh and their "swear" word; is it "frack"? I'm guessing this is a cheeky way of saying "fuck". Initially I thought it was lame but then once I learned they weren't "Earth humans" I thought it was mildly clever. (not that I'll be saying "frack off" to anyone anytime soon.) Compose your message		Status You are not logged in. To post, you must enter your login information as well.
