Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming

TheShayneShow — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 11:16:48 +0000

Before Ronald D Moore’s recent remake of Battlestar Galactica a group of people led by original series actor Richard Hatch produced a trailer called Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming, it’s purpose was to ( hopefully ) create interest in reviving the 70′s science fiction series and continuing the adventures of the Galactica crew.

Only network executives and fans attending some American science fiction conventions ever got to see the trailer, as a fan of the original version of Battlestar Galactica this was massively frustrating, some stills from it were printed in various science fiction magazines and it did look interesting.

I given up on ever seeing the trailer until a couple of years ago when I found a copy of it online that was filmed by someone with a video camera and to be honest it was hard to tell what was going on for most of it.

Today while messing around online I found a watchable quality copy so I thought I’d share it here for anyone who might be interested.

Gone but Not Forgotten: The Flash

TheShayneShow — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 04:36:01 +0000

I loved The Flash when it was first broadcast on TV back in the 90′s, there was something I found very appealing about a serious attempt to do a live-action superhero TV series.

Around 2 years ago I picked up the TV series on DVD and I’ve only just recently finished re-watching it, in hindsight I think the producers were a little too ambitious with what they could with their budget and special effects technology at the time.

This isn’t to say the series was bad but it tended to avoid special effects whenever possible and most of the villains in the series were kind of bland and ordinary, I did really like the production design for the series, it’s set along with the lighting gave The Flash a very distinctive look.

I guess now in the era of superhero movies it’s extremely unlikely there will be another live-action Flash TV series which I think is a real shame since with the advances in special effects technology you could do a character like The Flash and his Rogues Gallery justice

I still like The Flash TV series but even back then with a little more money to help with production it could’ve been an outstanding piece of television.
