Battlestar Galactica:The Last Frackin Special

MisterAnarchy

Just after watching this documentary/behind the scenes show about Galactica.
I'd highly recommend it as a taster for the finale this weekend,it is relatively spoiler free.

Just finished watching it there myself. Enjoyed it a hell of alot and am now really looking forward to the finale.

These are basically the only spoilers in it.

-Head Six/Baltar are agents of a devine being
-Admiral Adama flying a raptor
-Kara ends up with Sam

mr 'i was in bladerunner, is really got a great notion of his own importance, imagine telling princess xena she shouldn't be on the show. and then he gets his son a job.

Some of them do talk a load of Luvee actor ****e alright. Nice one Eddie. Oh and here was me thinking him not wanting to work on a show with Aliens was an artistic choice, a dislike of unrealistic scifi with humanoid aliens etc. Eh, No! Eddie didn't want aliens because he would faint if he saw one on set!!

Eddie also was responsible for the main spoiler. "Well there we go, I'm the last man departing Galactica....and its cool that its in my own Viper too"........Dying Leader, he is not!

And what about your man that plays Agathon. Walks around like a bouncer throwing shapes. Its not a natural walk. One has to concentrate to walk like that. It is so 'affected'. Sad! He's taken it to a whole new level on Dollhouse too.

And as for RDM, "F$%K the plot, its the characters stupid!"
F$%K the plot when you are doing an episodic series. Even F$%k the plot when its your own arc series that you wholly wrote yourself, but when there is something of a mythology/arc already there from a previous incarnation, you can't totally, 'F#@K the plot'

The Last Fraackin Special....Meh

noodler

So where can I watch this online?

noodler

Nevermind, saw it.

Very good alright.

Christ Boomer is skinny. Callis is almost as smug in person and that female sci-fi rep was a bit on the dumb side.

lostexpectation

yeah, i think she was from nbc or some parent company, she really sounded like a nightmare, but hey she gave it the green light.

I missed that part (outta the room for 1min) but saw the part where 'glad to have worked with my father on this' as the camera panned over to 'E J Olmos' was he the dad & who was that young fella?

Its repeated after the double-bill next Tue on sky1

Watched it last night. The spoilers werent so bad. I think the show is really sculpted around those who have watch it from Episode one and they're not *that* big. It's basically some scences we've never seen before, but it's hard to discern if they're from really old BSG (and I've forgotten them), they're cut scenes they've decided to your OR if they're spoilers from the last two episodes. Either way its worth the watch if you BSG.

Tricia Helfer seems like a very earthy person, excuse the pun..
Olmos and son seemed very honest and proud of their work, and so they should, its been epic.

Syferus

I watched it on Sky1 after the finale. In HD (yes, I needed to drop that fact) it's a beautifully design set of interviews and mostly HD series clips, but it comes across in part as a agrandisation of Sci Fi (OR.. SyFy) with a bunch of people who are either very teniously tied to the show.

No one wants a documentary on a show that gives so much time to people that are only there beause they have jobs at the channel the series is shown on.

Also, it comes across in some cases as a standard brash american tv documentary/advertorial, albeit one wth a few nice anecdotes. I'd have much prefered a DVD documentary where they went into spoiler-filled detail without having ACTION SCENES, YO spliced in every five seconds and generic american rock playing over everything.

That said, it was enjoyable because of all the behind the scenes footage and the reflections on the show by the cast and the crew at the end was heartfelt.

Yeah, her "What does Battlestar Galactica mean for me" answer was good

it was something along the lines of "LOTS of exposure... great career exposure, thank you thank you"

Jamie Bamber's was amusing..."The flight suit weight loss programme"

It was funny seeing what tipped the balance in getting it approved with the network head they interviewed "Starbuck is a woman!??? AND THE PRESIDENT!!!??? MAKE IT SO!" essentially, no doubt anyone making a pilot for them in the near future is desperately scribbling away turning all their central Joe characters into Janes.

Because with the likes of Flash Gordon among its recent stable of shows, the vetting process at SyFy must be of HBO-standard.
