B&C actually started out okay I thought but man did it turn into a turd sandwich later on.
Sort of. even the visuals did not make sense early on. Galactica with guns covering its topside? The cage-like transport from the hangar bay that looks just like the work platform in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? The bridge being all dark and looking kind of like the Event Horizon? B&C needed to pay attention to the visual and mood aesthetics of the Miniseries which it did not.
It did not look in any way stripped down in the mini or the series. They just gave it a weird gothic look in Blood and Chrome that even looks radically different from the webisodes (which were folded into Razor) that were set only a year later. B&C had a lot of problems especially in the later episodes - this was just one.
Actually the Galactica was quite stripped down in the miniseries. You notice right away for example that some sizable chunks of its outer layer of armor have been removed.
Finally he takes me up on my inviteI see all my friends are here. I've returned to a pod.
no. it's crap.
Actually no, it was not stripped down. They explained the look of the ship. It is a different type of armor specifically designed to dissipate the detonation of conventional and nuclear munitions Also those "ribs" have hundreds of point defense guns between them (that is where the dense cloud of AAA Galactica puts up comes from).
B&C had mass drivers the same size as the main batteries in a big strip down the top of the ship. It looked ridiculous, as did the hitchhikers ripoff gondola and the "Event Horizon" CIC. Now such things by themselves are not total conviction but they do show a lack of trying to keep to the feel, look and mood of the show (especially as we see Galactica in webisodes set only about a year later looking like that picture.

i was happy it came out and disappointed with the way it sooo pandered to the juice filled teenage boys with the pew pew and the sex
if it did matriculate to a series on web or tv- i seriously doubt i would watch it if it didn't change its tone
So Cy, did the "silver Viper" bite you?

It is good to see you! I posted this to see who else I knew here that would reveal themselves.
I went to gateWORLD because I couldn't remember what you said. Some random admin messaged me "that person (Silver Viper) was no longer there) and then suddenly I woke up in a pod.
I'm so glad to be rid of that place. I was addicted and could not stop.
I managed to not watch it at all. I thought I would!
I think she did lol

yongjin so WHERE does the old crowd hang out generally? I searched "Arwenoftreak" and she is here somewhere... and how do I get those ornate trophies like the football? And who is here under a different name so I can know who they are?

a lot of things can change in 30 + yrs, perhaps changing to this armor was an upgrade.
look at how much are naval ships changed in the same time, from many turreted big guns to sometimes, 1 bow and 1 stern gun.
but, i am thinking the b&c guys just "winged it" anyhow..again, had to get the cool factor with the kiddies
Oh ok, you are talking about the razor flashbacks right? So i guess we can def say that B&C boys were being "creative" and some would call a -i think its said "retcon(?)" When you (or someone said time diff i thought it was meant between nu BSG and the 1st cylon war-that's the 30-50 yr difference. it is in that period where things may have changedIt wasn't 30 years. Galactica looks like it does in the NuBSG series in the "young Adama" webisodes set only about a year later than B&C.
