Battlestar Galactica

Not sure about this one I still remember the original withh fondness. Everything now is new but still old if you know what I mean. The story line is a bit thin(as was the original) and the "lady" does nothing apart from liven up the scenery(could do with some sex from Hex). I'll view a couple more and see if anything changes.
Couldn't get on with Sopranos either.

She is extremely scary though.

I wasn't that impressed with it. It was on here in Canada several months ago and repeated a few weeks ago. The ones they showed were only the opening 2 episodes and I thought it was pretty similar to the original in terms of story/plot quality.

I normally reserve this exclaimation for the more Bush inclined, less Northern Americans but...

'Are you MAD? '

Comparing the new BG is like comparing Dr Who to Gattaca. It's like comparing Buck Rogers to the X-Files. It's like comparing Canada to the US.....

I'm very possibly mad. It's been a while since I saw the remake one, but I thought it was pretty average. I didn't see anything that was miles better than the orignal. They had the obligatory woman in power for more sex equality then the original as I remember it and not much else.

As for comparing Candians to Americans I'm not actually a Canadian (just live there) so I do it all the time...

You must have picked up a few traits - you are so reasonable!

I also have 2 sheds. One is a full size (with Bike and mower) and a mini-me one for my bits.

Who can live with just one shed?

You rural types... I was at Carrow Road a few years back (while visiting my folks near Fakenham). My then-wife noticed at half time that everyone was pulling apples from their coat pockets - and actually eating them! The horror! For us Glaswegians, this display of healthy snacking was truly bizarre.

Davie,
A visit to Falkirk would calm you down. A while back I saw in the street a couple who looked exactly like Wayne and Waynetta Slob, each eating a roll containing a deep fried pie while holding a fag in the same hand. Amazing.

Lovely

Do we assume that this makes it worse than "rubbish pap churned out by" anyone else?

Now Now Bhoyo.

Its crap, right and proper.

Like most of any star trek now, or infact anything on Sky One (apart from Simpsons of course, which in the past few years has also become crap)

garyi

What has happened to you? - you used to be so light, so carefree.



Now, you're just bitter - stamping all that skill and great acting in one swoop of your cutting tounge....

Ah me...

Stephen

Will you be requiring your coat, Stephen?

Sir, now you go too far! The Simpsons remains what is has always been - a work of genius.

Plot line:

From out of nowhere a drop dead gorgeous but dangerous women runs the show, all American teenage boys masterbate over her.

Basis for a hit show.
