i know we in the uk are ahead of you guys in the 'states,but have any of you seen the "new"Battlestar Galactica yet? much impressed by the revamped vipers and the Cylon fighters,Galactica its self would make a brilliant model…if only…hell,even the acting’s good on this series. gentleman i await your comments!!
Yeah we got it around March here but it was just a teaser of 2 shows and now it looks like it wwill be close to a even year before it reappears on TV. Dyn to see all the new ships though???
it shows in the states in 2 weeks ProBuilder
The show is going to rerun I believe in January 2005, The acting is not as cheesy compared to the orginal series. However I did spent the entire day watching reruns of the old Battlestar Galactica.
Everything I’ve seen so far looks great. Your right about the the Battlestar Galactica making an impressive modeling subject. I have pics of the CG model without the surface texture on my hard drive. I saved them for a possible scratchbuild.
Here is my blueprint set. I made it by tracing the high resolution Ortho’s that were posted on a couple of sites. I got a little help from one of “the powers that be” at Zoic for the rear view.

My CAD file is smoother. PDF isn’t too friendly with this massive file. (The PDF is over 4MB.)
The new series premiers in January 05 on Friday nights on Sci-Fi
It’s not hard to find the scheduling info on the net;
"December 21, 2004 - The New BSG Schedule for January
Make sure you mark your calendars for the following BSG airings:
BSG Series Re-Airing (in the original 4 hour format), Wednesday January 12 from 7-11pm EST.
BSG Series Lowdown Special on Sci-Fi, Friday January 14th at 8:30pm EST
BSG Series Premiere: 33 & Water (First Two Back-to-Back Episodes on Sci-Fi), 9-11pm EST
BSG Miniseries Re-Airing (in the original 4 hour format), Sunday January 16th from 3-7pm EST.
BSG Series resumes in its 10pm EST slot successive Fridays starting January 21st. "
I doubt we will see it here in Japan… We have the Super Channel that claims to be a big Sci Fi Channel, but all I ever see are reruns of old Star Trek… We had the premier of Enterprise’s first season a year after it aired in the US, and then with even more fanfair, the second series… But 3 years later, we are still getting re-re-re-runs of season 2… I have had to completely miss season 3, and start downloading season 4 from the net… So I hope someone puts the new Battlestar series in BitTorrent files for the rest of us!

Yup, no BSG for us, Chris!
The pilot movie is on dvd at walmart if anyone cares!
Thanks cobyone… You know what for!!..
Cheers, Chris in Japan
I think we can blame WB/UPN for Enterprise. They keep moving it around,
throwing reruns into the middle of the season,heck I even think one season was only about 8 episodes. seemed that way anyhow.
I love the show (when I can find it) but I hate that #$@%*&! network.
You need advanced theoretical friggin calculus to figure out their program schedual!!
Anyway,I hope the new BSG makes it to you,cuz it’s definatly not the old BSG.
Well with the help of modern technology, I just finished watching the first episode… Not bad as an updated version… But whats with this talk of god, and human cylons… Also. the Cylons I have seen look like the robot from the Lost in space movie… Bring back the old Centurian!.. The girl playing Starbuck is trying way too hard… Simply not cool!..I accept it for what it is… But must say that it hasnt gotten my attention yet!.. For younger people who never saw the original… This will be just as exciting as the original was for us… But still… This one is kinda funky!.. One think I did like, is the chick playing Boomer… Not exactly a big black man… But she looks hot, so I will accept that change!

Did you see the mini-series from last year? If not you are missing a bit of the set-up.
There are still robotic looking Cylons in the new BSG. I preffer the old reptilian Cylons myself but the machines turning against their makers isn’t too bad either. Does the new series take up were the mini-series left off.
Nah, I dont think I missed much!.. They have gone a little over board in making it a “now” show… I will watch it, and enjoy it for what it is… But as corny as the old one was… It will always be the one that I will love and remember! Nice special effects with this new one, but everything was way cooler looking on the old one!.. I even miss the really old green tv screen that had the space invader triangles that displayed incomming Cylons on the radar!.. Now why couldnt they have left that on the new show?
Chris in Japan
You’re insufferable. 
The only thing that I don’t care for is the new Starbuck. She comes off as a pretty girl playing the role of a tough wise craking rocket jockey and failing miserably. The old show and Battlestar were a lot cooler.
The series has only 3 episodes left to screen in the UK.
It doesnt have the greatest start but does get better.
The battles are a vast improvement on anything that has gone before.
