Greetings !

Hello fellow Battlestar Galactica fans, I am new to this site, and would just like to say hello and introduce myself. I haven't decided on my rank yet- but will shortly. I was 10 yrs. old when the original series aired on ABC (which should stand for A Bad Choice) after the cancellation of this show. Loved the show then, knew it was great, and was extremely disappointed when they pulled the plug on it. During the past 35 yrs. I hadn't given much thought to it, except for the occasional episode that would be aired irregularly on a given channel, (perhaps once in a 10 yarn stretch)  I tried to watch the sci-fi version (man did they kill it with commercials) I wont say anything negative, but it just didn't do it for me. Anyway 2 weeks ago I was on youtube, and a old dvd review pops up in my side bar - Battlestar Galactica The Complete Epic Series Collectors Edition Box (3/D Cylon head box) Well this became the "Must Have" Christmas present from me to me. Found it on ebay barely used from a reputable seller for $40.00 ! Got teased relentlessly by my wife, my 12 yr. old son had no idea what he was in for ! After it arrived we had a family viewing of the made for TV movie/pilot episode. After this the rule became that I was forbidden to watch any future episodes without them ! They were instantly hooked. It just shows how good this show really was. I look forward to participating in our forums with all of you. Thanks  Paul Caruthers

  • Hi Paul,

    I was a bit older (18) than you when the original BSG was on the air. I was very upset as well when the show was cancelled and BSG 1980 didn't do much for me. All the series of BSG are on NetFlix including the series known as Caprica. For $7.99 a month for internet streaming it's a great deal. I have DirecTV and I don't subscribe to any of their movie channels. NetFlix does it for me and my family.

    As for rank, if you start out as a pilot in any of the Battlestar's your start out as an Ensign and work your way up. There are Viper and Raptor training manuals for you to read through. At the end of each manual there is a multiple choice exam you can take. Each exam will earn you a certificate of completion and if you score a 100 on the Viper exam you will earn the "Top Gun" award as well!!!!!!

    Good Hunting!!!!!

    SO SAY WE ALL! ! ! ! !
