So, I finally started watching Battlestar Galactica - Page 5

Here is the Firefly ship in the BSG pilot.  The creators of BSG were huge fans.

When that scene was revisited in one of the final episodes, the Firefly was gone. But I'm glad it is there in the pilot.

The same effects house did Firefly and BSG. They'd become really good at the "hand held camera...in space!" style with Firefly, and it seems that the effects people sold the concept to the bearded producer of Galactica because they felt it was a really good style for making things seem real. (I'm forgetting his name at the moment.) In his commentaries he doesn't credit Firefly for the style, but he's likely not being rude, rather he was probably sold on the concept by the effects people and hadn't ever seen Firefly himself. No one saw Firefly when it was on!

P.S. Curses HTF for putting that "CLEAR" button right where one expects a "SUBMIT" button to be! And no "undo"!

Hey, notice how those buildings outside the windows are also the apartment complex where Boomer ended up as she was adjusting to her new life.

I think it is also the apartment complex where Starbuck was held prisoner.

The room itself (with the slanted wall windows) is also the "V" visitors' embassy on "V".

It gets used far too much.

I hear ya!!  I think I was the only one to watch it first-run....and the excitement of watching such a great  show are sadly starting to fade.

Fox Fridays my eye!!

Not sure if this was posted here, but here's a recent article about Ron Moore saying his days on Deep Space Nine influenced BSG:

Moore's been one of my favorite writers since his days on TNG and DS9. He's done some really outstanding work, and as I have said from time to time, really deserves all the success he has had.

I watched BSG "Mini Series" for the 6th time last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it again!

and of course I made sure to watch out for "Serenity" flying in the windows above the Doctor's surgery when the future Madam President is receiving news about her cancer

loved Firefly / Serenity motion picture and totally loved BSG mini series and the first couple seasons...
