BSG's Miniseries

Jun 03, 2010 20:15

Lots of people have been doing that tv meme recentlly. Silently, I found myself replying to a lot of those questions with "BSG miniseries". To this day and 4 seasons of BSG, I still consider its pilot movie one of the best things ever. One of the best BSG "episodes" ever and one of the best movies in general, ever. Considering the fact that I was ( Read more... )

A beautiful review!
I read it yesterday, but was unable to reply, as - for some reason - it seemed necessary to browse the net first, to buy me a copy :)
Seriously.

I love your eye for details, and your nuanced interpretation of layers behind the (inter) action. It wasn't as if I only saw the miniseries once, but your angle was new and interesting. The 'man panics, woman takes his hand' scene for instance. Seeing it in your new light adds to the experience.

As for your opinion about the quality of space battles: everyone has at leat's one blind spot ...
*gd&r*

Seriously? Do I get royalities or something? *g*
Well, either way, wait for me, I'll bring the popcorn. ;)

Out of curiosity, how did you see the hand squeeze scene before?

Ha! *chuckle* I'll admit, I don't like space battles scenes much and maybe that's why I like this one. Ultimately it's not about the battle but about the defense while trying to get away.

Nah. Not yet, at least as I didn't buy anything - in the end. The English version (of the Complete Series) was a disappointment, advertising features they didn't actually include; the US version is still too expensive; the Dutch version is without any sort of specials and the subtitles are written by a clueless nudnik.
So I am still waiting.
And pouting.
Obviously.

I saw a character, who was so clearly in distress (the breast gripping scene in the bathroom was only a short while before) who was being coaxed (forced) by the incapacitation of others, to take a hold of herself, find her equilibrium and strength, her backbone, and take the lead, shoulder the responsibility, forcing her own problems to a back seat ( ... )
