Razor Flashback #1

[Joe Beaudoin Jr.]

For those of us who were smart enough to not suffer through Flashless Bordeom but wanted to see the "Razor Flashbacks", here's the link to the first flashback at SCI FI Pulse:

Also, Battlestar Wiki has more info on the Flashbacks here (http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Razor_Flashbacks).

The site is in czech and you'll have to register, but it's not that hard to decipher what is what.

bsg.cz also has some high resolution promotion pictures on the main page :)

Sweet. By the way, apparently DrewCypher keeps an friend-only LJ gallery of the BSG promotional pictures, which is where bsg.cz got theirs.

Holy shit. So many TOS references!

Okey, here is a question: Why the hell doesn't galactica have her full battlearmour on?
She looks exactly like she does in the series (where she was going to be a museum, and therefor had most of her armour fremoved), this is flash-backs, correct? Then it would be logical that she look that was, since this was her golden years? But no... "Let's not spend money on that, no one will notice it anyway!" Gaaahh!

[Joe Beaudoin Jr.]

Actually, where is it said that she had her armor removed in the first place?

I've heard the "armor removed" idea as a reason why Galactica appears "ribbed". I don't think it's ever been substantiated, and I think RDM or Eick even mentioned that Galactica just looks like that.

Besides, the idea of having the armor removed doesn't make all that much sense anyway...why would they do that? Tanks and ships on display don't have their armor removed, why would they do it to Galactica? Also, I doubt it would have survived a direct nuclear strike WITHOUT the armor.

Yeah, I thought as such. Fanwanking blowing all over the place. LOL

Actually, now that I remember, I think it was actually on the Battlestar Wiki at one time too, but it was later removed.

The armor being removed theory never made sense to me anyway, for the reason you've given above.

By the way, for those who wondered about that great music in the first Razor teasers:

Apparently it's called "Aqua Vitae" by Future World Music.

Yeah, I wanted to get it on CD, but apparently the company releases tracks for professional use only, such as trailers, commercials and movies. :(

Hadn't Galactica been retrofitted with upgrades over the years though, perhaps its those modifications that were removed
^^ fanwanking

I must say I was expecting it to be a little more exciting than it was though, the Series 3 webisodes are better so far.

According to Merv, Eric Chu says the ribs are working as designed.

That should be integrated into the Galactica article.
