Classic BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
"The Living Legend" complete edition work print
===============================================
version 1.0
total running time: 108 minutes
This is the most complete version of the best episode (or
second best, depending on your view of the pilot movie)
of the original BSG series. The late Lloyd Bridges (SKY
KING, NORTH AND SOUTH, AIRPLANE, et al) stars in a tour-
de-force as the legendary Commander Cain, who is both
the ragtag Colonial fleet's savior and bane in dealing
with a pesky Cylon base in the Gammoray star system. If
you've never seen the full episode, that is to say the
story as it was originally intended to be shown, then
you're in for a real treat.
Sources are as follows:
- Classic BSG series DVD boxset
(for the episode as broadcast and deleted scenes)
- THE LIVING LEGEND telemovie
(fan sourced, for one or two odd audio clips)
- MISSION GALACTICA: THE CYLON ATTACK R4 PAL DVD release
(for footage and scenes not present in the series DVDs)
- MISSION GALACTICA: THE CYLON ATTACK R1 LD release
(for the original MGCA NTSC audio track)
Regarding the last two, these were combined and resynched
to produce a NTSC-proper MGCA digital source print.
Before you begin watching, be warned. This print still
has various audio and video issues. We didn't try to
rebalance the colors and contrasts among our sources,
so you'll occasionally see tint shifts and such. Can't
be helped, as it's more of a pain than it's worth. With
regards to the audio, the best we could do was try to
re-balance the audio among our sources. We didn't try
to reconstruct the audio for the restored deleted scenes,
such as the two IL-series Cylons talking about what's
really happening at Gammoray, because it's beyond our
skill. There's also a couple of lines that got clipped.
One was a production gaffe that's present in every print
(Cassie's clipped line about Bojay's injuries); the other
had to be cut for proper BGM matching (Apollo's "There
they are" when he and Starbuck are approaching the two
base stars in their Vipers). Perhaps a better faneditor
out there can do what we couldn't; we just tried to make
do with what we had and what we were capable of doing.
Regarding the video, every known unique scene is present
in this print. Yes, every UNIQUE one. We did omit some
duplicated stock footage and some alternate camera angles,
but this was largely a matter of which video source we
chose for a given scene or series of scenes. Those of
you who are unfamiliar with the MGCA version of the
story are in for a surprise, as there's lots of extra
footage now present for your enjoyment. Most of it is
stock footage, but there are at least two scenes - the
extended version of Cain's arrival aboard the Galactica
and Apollo's Gammoray mission briefing aboard the jump
shuttle - that are NOT present in the DVD box set.
We took the liberty of reordering some of the scenes in
order to make the story flow better. Thus, our print
opens as with MGCA, starting with the Colonial fleet
almost out of fuel and then switching to the Pegasus
chasing after the Galactica's patrol. Likewise, the
sequencing of some of the restored scenes was changed
from that used in all "official" prints (episode as
broadcast, the telemovie, and MGCA), again because of
story flow issues. Oh, and Apollo now grips his blaster
with his LEFT hand like he's supposed to when confronting
Sheba and Bojay over the fuel. There is also one new
scene near the end, as indicated by the classic BSG
second-season writer's bible ... but we'll let you savor
that one when it happens.
The whole point of this project was to create a print of
"The Living Legend" as complete as possible. All we ask
in return is that you forward a copy on to your favorite
BSG faneditors (hello, David Kerin!). Perhaps their
talents can take up this project from here.
