Talk:Saga of a Star World

pilot episode

pilot epesode as far as i can see, the first shot you get to see of all the corny, repeted, and mirrored cuts of ships flying, and chrome cookies flipping upside down flown by people in remarkably shiny armor augmented with a "knight rider" KIT strobe light. we see whats left of the (known to them) human race cut down to one starship with a soap-opera crew. its a view of another world with earth as the strange mystery. special note: the buildings on the planet look much like the chechin itza pyramids in mexico. right before their struck by flying light-cycle projectiles. the end of the episode assembles the ragtag ship collection made of races with horoscope like names, and sets the precedents of the shows series. here is where we find out the myth of earth, the 13th colony. starbuck here is named after the guy in the whale book, not the coffee.

Merger

Battlestar Galactica (film) & Saga of a Star World

Previous comment

I decided to go ahead with the proposed merger since there were no objections (or discussion at all). I could see no purpose in there being two different pages for practically the same subject and reckoned that most people who would be looking up the article would be refering to it in reference to the television series. Also, much of the material on the film entry was either far more related to the whole series than just the pilot (trivia, other media, etc.) or completely unrelated to the pilot (Other versions). Despite all these irrelevant sections the previous versions didn't even remotely indicate that the two pilots were virtually identical. I hope this page is now more informative.--Thetriangleguy 19:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't include the infobox because all the details included on it are in the other box and, as is mentioned numerous times on the article, the film is just another version of the pilot, which was originally filmed for television. I did forget the interlang and film cats, so thank you for correcting my mistake--Thetriangleguy 13:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
