has anyone been watching those miniepisodes that they post on the scifi channel webpage? are they worth my time?

this new series is as good as the old series was bad. (that makes it excellent)

The humans find Cobol, then a new Earth, settle there, and the Cylons show up after a year of being missing. Boomer is a Cylon, Billy dies, Adama gets shot, but recovers, Madame President is cured of her cancer... what else can I spoil for you?

Arent they on any P2P networks? A whole season on DVD must be expensive.

*is also excited*

While I might watch some sci-fi from time to time, the new Battlestar Galactica is the only one I'll admit to in real life. Yeah, I'm lame and conformist like that.

They contact the Pegasus and the Admiral is murdered after trying to execute a couple Galactica guys then the person appointed to secede her is assassinated and Apollo is appointed captain of the Pegasus. The lady in Baltar's head isn't really a Cylon just part of his self-conscious thatdefends his pro-Cylon actions. The real lady was resurrected on Caprica and has Baltar in her head as her self-conscious and joins with Boomer to work to help the humans.

Seasons 1 & 2 can be bought on iTunes.

I wonder when tonight's episode will hit iTunes (I can't remember if it's 1 day or 1 week after it's broadcast).

That was a cool episode, what do the mini episodes cover I never heard about them? Are they about the year that appears to have passed between this season and last?

Sweet! Hopefully, I can start the download before I head to work, so it will be ready for me to watch when I get home (I have no cable, so the only way I can watch the episodes is by getting them off iTunes).

yeah. they deal with the lost year. i watched a piece of one and it was pretty good. i just dont have much of a connection so i cant really watch them "at will"

i think they are all on the scifi website

I liked it at first, because I love a good space opera 'specially "Dune". But, I hate sappy dramatization and I finally just quit the show after the quote "Im having your baby":rolleyes:

The first episode of season 3 still isn't on iTunes. :( Hopefully sometime either tommorow or Monday, it'll appear on there.

BSG is turning into to the anti-war liberal’s propaganda machine.

The new episode played like an Al Qaeda video release ~ an Insurgency recruitment film. Asinine stupidity.

Suicide bombing works, it’s justifiable and if not endorsable, it’s understandable?…. Blah blah blah. Bleeding heart poppycock. Only a Hollywood democrat consortium could write such rubbish and then pretend to suggest that robots that can’t be killed by the bombs would be influenced by such demonstrations. Balderdash. Propaganda in a can.

Yea, it pissed me off for a bit too. But then I realized all it really did was make me ask myself questions, which in the end only strengthened my belief that our armed forces are doing some good.

It also gives you a fresh view point; you don't see Terrorist vs. Coalition. You observe two totally alien cultures fight a war with the displacement of a god; giving viewers a unique perception on themselves.

Yes, it's topical, but for now, it doesn't seem that the writers are making any logical arguments through the show. The cylons are not doing what we are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the BG insurgents are not like the terrorists.
