Re: Sci-Fi KSR Mini-series

I was watching Battlestar Galactica and they ran a SciFi Channel promo for all their upcoming movies/miniseries and Red Mars was in the list, so it's coming eventually.

Really? I didn't catch that, but I was watching BSG.

I was really impressed by the four hour mini-series (although I hesitate to call it that a mini-series is like 8 hours usually) and the show has been of an amazingly high caliber. I'm just ticked that i've already seen the first 11 episodes because they were shown early in the UK and thus were avalible to download, me shooting myself in the foot I guess, lol.

What'd you think of BSG?

Did they give a ETA for Red Mars?b

Re: Sci-Fi KSR Mini-series

Really? I didn't catch that, but I was watching BSG.

It was right in the middle of a commercial block, a 60-second spot or so with quick little teaser snippets of all the upcoming "events" this year. No scheduling info, just "Red Mars" about halfway through.

As for BSG, so far so good it seems. I'm glad to see they got the entire cast from the mini-series back for it, I'll give a chance.

I really like some of the details as well that fit into the world they've created yet are completely familiar rather than sci-fi super-tech. Commander Adama wears glasses, they have real paper books (though with truncated corners), the ship's intercom microphones have big phone cords connected to them. It has a feel of somewhat cruder technology than one might expect, which just happens to be the sort I like. The minimum complexity to do the job.

Also, there was a conversation about the mini-series when it aired, linked below.
