I thought both ships were battlestars? Same class right?

They are both Battlestars... but not the same class.. The Pegasus is almost twice the size of the Galactica and her compliment of Vipers are all the newest type (Cant remember their designation though) and she carries 2-3 times as many vipers as well. Her computer systems are upgraded as well and she is supposed to be a bit faster (non jump speeds) than the Galactica. Thats why it was pretty gutsy of Adama to challenge Caine over those 2 men.. the Pegasus would have pasted the Galactica in a fight.. though from the look of it.. her viper pilots werent anywhere near as good as Starbuck or Apollo. Which is why Caine had them both transferred to the Pegasus. The Galactica was on the verge of being decommissioned and retired when the Cylons attacked. She was one of the last (if not the last) battlestar left from the original Cylon wars. The Pegasus is supposed to be one of the newest and the flagship battlestar of the colonies.

I used to be (and kinda still am) in to Star Trek big time. I even worked at the conventions helping out with the quizzes they had. All thru high school I actually studied the tech manuals and all that stuff. I have everyones autograph, a crapload of toys still in the boxes and three scripts autographed. Definitely a fun part of my life. Who else can say they met every main character from the original star trek and the next generation!

Guess its time to wait for the next new episode.

Yeah I was a trekkie.. still have some of the stuff.. Met James Doohan twice.. and Michael Dorn once. But never met any of the others.. found a autographed game of Star Fleet Battles at a yard sale once.. signed by Walter Koenig. It was trashed though.. a shame really. I still have the STNG Enterprise tech manual on CD.. along with a couple of other CD's. But I really havent followed it much since the end of STNG. Didnt like their choice of captains for either Voyager or Enterprise and there just wasnt enough exploration in DS9 for my taste. Scott Bakula couldnt act his way out of a paper bag.

Did you see the roast of William Shatner on comedy central a couple of weeks ago? Now that was some funny stuff

I am also a big Stargate SG1 fan. Though I liked it better when Richard Dean Anderson was around and the show wasnt a gathering spot for acting refugees from Andromeda and Farscape. Andromeda I can sorta understand.. Lexa Doig is a hottie and Michael Shanks would of course want his wife around... But TWO of Farscapes main characters?

Have you watched the new Dr. Who at all? I had a GF back in the 80's that got me watching the original show.. I like the new one a lot better

Ok I have rambled enough about Sci Fi LOL

I kinda got out of Trek when TNG finished up too. I watched DS9 for a while but it just wasnt the same. I met the creator of Babylon 5 at a convetion and got hooked on that when it came out. Then it was definitely on to Farscape!!

The new Battlestar sucks. It's like a Sci Fi version of a daytime soap. Save the drama for your mama. The old Battlestar plots ruled compared to the new ones.

Meh....I like a show with some depth. Shows are filled more with drama and back plots nowadays. The old BSG had about as much of a plot as the old star trek. Not much..

Though I do like BSG.. I do have to agree with this statement.. they spend way too much time with character interaction than they do fighting cylons or looking for Earth.
