Hey guys, I'm watching BSG for the first time at the moment, so it'd be nice if you didn't post any spoilers about it to the Star Trek thread. (General conversation/comparisons are okay, but I'd hate to accidentally catch some major plot point.)
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 March 2014 08:29 (ten years ago) link
Noted. I look forward to hearing what you think about BSG.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 March 2014 11:21 (ten years ago) link
My advice: Don't let the haters get you done. And never read the BSG thread.

I'm in the middle of season 2, and I've been reading the season 1 and 2 threads, and they generally seem to be full of praise. When do the haters appear?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 March 2014 11:40 (ten years ago) link
Rumblings begin in season 3. Out in full force by the end of season 3.

Jeff otm. If you really feel masochistic, read the thread after you're done with the whole series, but don't look until then

if you really feel masochistic, watch the whole series

Meanwhile in a random related Trek bit -- hadn't realized until I actually saw it that Brannon Braga directed the first episode of the new Cosmos and apparently is one of the producers or executive producers as well. Made a LOT of sense that there was a certain Trek feel to the space sequences as a result.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 11 March 2014 15:11 (ten years ago) link
Was Ron Moore involved with 24, too?Lot more trek cameos in 24.

Oh yeah at the beginning of cosmos I thought they were going to sing ITS BEEN A LONNNNNG ROAAAAAD

v curious about Tuomas reaction to BSG's later seasons

my prob with later seasons of BSG was there was too much confusion, and I couldn't get no relief

I honestly love the yacht-rocky Enterprise theme - certainly beats Voyager and DS9

Same!

The DS9 theme song (original version), is my favorite of the entire franchise.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 11 March 2014 17:07 (ten years ago) link
lol I said to Mr Veg that the Cosmos theme sounded like a mashup of DS9 and Enterprise
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 11 March 2014 17:25 (ten years ago) link
with a little bit of theme song from Elf thrown in :)
omgggggggggg I love the DS9 theme. Or at least from seasons 1-3. They changed it in season 4 and I don't like that one as much.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 March 2014 18:00 (ten years ago) link
i never much liked the spinoff themes but appreciated that they tried to embed some kind of continuity within the theme songs by putting a little snippet of another trek theme inside it.i always found it weird how the paramount fanfare at the end sounded so close to the star wars theme though.
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 11 March 2014 18:26 (ten years ago) link
the enterprise theme song is one of the worst things foisted on the human race, ever

I love the Ron Jones-era music (they fired him in the fourth season I believe). It's totally John Carpenter-esque and weird and great. The music gets pretty boring after he left.
OTM, I really dig the Ron jones sound.

About one in four Americans believe in geocentrism, which places the Earth at the center of the universe and the sun, planets, and stars revolving around it.

I dunno; I think if you were just going to go all-in, voicing a documentary done by a Holocaust-denying geocentrist seems like it reaches the next level.

in unrelated news, I feel this three-dollar purchase of a John DeLancie figure found in my travels last year was worth it:

So much 90s "collector"-era goodness on the packaging serves as a reminder of what we once stooped to.

Toy collecting is one of the most baffling parts of fandom to me... Like, if you're taking it seriously, you never even take the toy out of its box, right? So the toy actually has no point or purpose to you beyond its "collector value"...
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 09:53 (ten years ago) link
My childhood would have sucked if I'd had to compete with "collectors" for my toys. It really creeps me out, and sucks all the fun out of play.
