Battlestar Galactica

[Yahooligan]

Hey, any other Battlestar Galactica fans here? Not the old series, but the new one with Edward James Olmos, et. al.? This season (season three) is supposed to be the final season which wraps up the whole story.

I love this show. I got sucked in before Season Two started, when I read some positive reviews and heard a lot of good buzz about it, and the parallels between BSG and the war in Iraq. BSG is not your typical sci-fi show. It makes you think about a lot of moral issues like what it really means to be human, racism, etc.

But... like Lost, it's hard to jump in unless you've watched from the beginning. I downloaded the entire first season from torrents online, then watched the second (and am now watching the third) seasons on TV. It's all coming down to the wire now, and I can't wait to see how it all ends!

I'm a fan, even though my girlfriend thinks I'm a geek and snickers whenever I talk about it. You are right about watching from the beginning. Highly recommended.

I guess I'm lucky then, Jeff. My girlfriend and I are rabid BSG fans. Every Friday night -- BSG. Well... not every Friday night... that's what the DVR is for.

She even has a "Viper Squadron" shirt.

Yeah. Though I'm sad.... this is the final season.

There may be opportunities for BSG spin-offs, depending on how this season ends. Frankly, I'm happy to know that there will be an end. It's nice to know there will be some sort of conclusion. Shows like LOST get on my nerves after a while (although they claim there's and end for that, too... two more seasons from now).

Sniff it's not on here .. well not so I noticed, will check out the Sat TV guide, love sci-fi.

You can get the first two seasons on DVD (I think). It's an interesting story, so I hope you can track it down.

Or do like I did and download the torrents. The downside is you have to watch them on your PC.

You could transcode and burn them into DVDs, to keep for posterity. I use Nero Vision to do that.

Good suggestion, Philip (reps up).

I've uploaded some BSG buddy icons to our other sister site, HisBuddyIcons. Check'em out.

Oh man! Did anyone see the Battlestar Galactica "mid-season finale" last week? It was... interesting?

After three years of BSG and searching for earth...

Well, did anyone see it before I spoil it?
