Talk:Battlestar Galactica

message: It would be nice to extend that section of the article: it only lists a pair of references, without any description of the thesis stated by the academics.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.48.84.252 (talk) 21:35, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Academic analysis 

message: The article states that the "franchise began with the original television series in 1978".  I seem to recall as a child that there was a theatrically released movie before the TV series.  Perhaps this needs to be fact checked.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.188.99 (talk) 23:57, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

message: i was wondering if anybody out there is able to let me know in which magazine (name and volume/date) that a cylon centurion suit appeared in a playboy or penthouse layout next to a beautiful naked woman, as if to suggest that the naked woman was the cylon in a suit. you can reach me at ryandaveking@yahoo.ca it would answer a question i've had for about twenty years. i had seen it as a young man but cant remember in which publication or what year exactly.

replies: text: Actually, this is exactly the problem I've been finding with Wikipedia in general the last couple years. Information that many would logically assume be located here, including trivia, is often frowned upon by the higher ups for whatever reason. Meaning that a lot of people are going to be turned away by the limited amount of information actually contained in the articles. I myself would love to hear more about the controversial opinions between fans of the old and new series. However, everything I've looked through here seems to try and avoid that subject with a ten foot pole, and the one person who was offering links to sites about this subject has been repeatedly turned away. I think Wikipedia needs to start recognizing that it is missing a lot of information. The amount of trivia and otherwise interesting information on Wikipedia pales in comparison to other wiki-esque sites like the Homestar Runner wiki.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.197.138.115 (talk) 01:49, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  The header in the book section mentions academic analysis, but there were no academic analysis books mentioned specifically in the underlying lists. I added one (the somewhat-dubiously-edited So Say We All by Richard Hatch, which like it or not does include some academic analysis), but it'd be great to see others. And if this one seems inappropriate and we can't find others, maybe we should remove "academic analysis" from the section head. Chuckcage (talk) 16:41, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

message: If you google "wikipedia battlestar galactica" the description under the link is pranked somehow:
"Battlestar Galactica is a homosexually oriented show American science fiction franchise created by Glen A. Larson an open homosexual. ..."
This is outside my limited knowledge of wiki-editing, but I suspect it ought be changed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.76.205.96 (talk) 23:06, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Google Curiosity

message: Like many Wikipedia articles, this one has been heavily censored and turned into something akin to a fansite. Critical comments have been removed so that they entry is not accurate. For example, nothing is said about how BSG (reimaged) had rating difficulties and although it attracted a loyal following, it saw its rating diminish rather continuously. Nothing is said about the controversy over how the SyFy channel moved it around the TV schedule in order to boost its ratings. And nothing is said about the 'curious' way it was cancelled and the fact that some say it was cancelled (including many of its cast) whereas many fans insist this wasn't the case.
The entry also says the show received "critical acclaim". However, it completely ignores the real story: how the show was consistently denied mainstream awards. It finished its run without winning a single major Emmy or BAFTA award. It's cast were similarly ignored.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.68.66 (talk) 07:50, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The lack of information on this page is baffling.  Like most Americans, I saw the initial movie - and not any of the early TV episodes.  It is beyond bizarre that fanatics have removed all movie information from this page, leaving the only mention of some future (2014) movie.  As of right now, no link exists at all on this page, to the original 1978 movie - despite the fact that this page title most reasonably should be about the initial movie, with the TV series as an ancillary page, IMHO.  --Connel MacKenzie -  wikt 23:32, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: In the second paragraph of the first main section, Battlestar Galactica#Battlestar Galactica (1978), it states: "A shortened version of the three-hour pilot, Saga of a Star World, was screened in Canadian theaters (before the TV series was telecast) and in American and European theaters later on." That's the movie you're referring to. There's more coverage of the cinematic version at Saga of a Star World. - BilCat (talk) 00:01, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I think that "re-imagine" is a marketing term. Re-imagine is forwarded to Remake, which does not even mention re-imagine. Two of the first three dictionaries found on Google have no entry for "re-imagine". It's a marketing term, not in wide use, and should thus be avoided in Wikipedia.
If you disagree, could you please describe what the difference is between "remake" and "re-imagine"?84.170.91.185 (talk) 19:21, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge of [[:Kobol]] into [[:Battlestar Galactica]]  

message: Only one place in the article mentions anything about the dollar cost to produce the series --- "cost overruns."
I think it's a great disservice not to mention an actual dollar amount.
If I'm not mistaken, an article that appeared in TV Guide at the time stated that each episode of the '78-'79 series cost over 1 million dollars to produce --- mostly due to the sets and special effects.
