Onodrim and I will be watching it - on the big screen - on Monday night :D

Why accept blame for this myself? I blame kutulu for telling me it is out there (thanks man). I blame the network for having such huge pauses in between seasons. I blame torrent reactor for having a well seeded HD copy that I could pull down in around 20 minutes. . .

I take full responsibility for my actions. It was great and I will watch it again when it is broadcast.

If you haven't watched it, know this: super good, lots of backstory and best of all, lots of space battles!

All of scifi's budget should go into battlestar, and it should be on 50 weeks a year with a 2 hour special.

Can't wait to see it in a movie theatre tomorrow night! :D

The registration for SF filled quickly. Too quickly, I'm afraid.

And a little disturbing at times.

well....it was awesome :D

I'll wait until it airs on regular TV before bothering to bring up the obvious question for discussion ;)

Spoiler: Do they have a hot asian woman pez dispenser somewhere?

LMAO, that's not the question I was thinking of...and she's only part Asian, not even half ;) According to wikipedia, "her mother is Portuguese and her father Chinese-Norwegian-English," though she was born in Hong Kong.

But yes, she is pretty hot, and the Australian accent certainly didn't hurt ;)

Ah, then you must be referring to:
Spoiler: "Kara Thrace will lead the human race to it's end. She is the herald of the apocalypse; the harbinger of death. They must not follow her."
Honestly? I'm inclined to agree. Don't ask me why, call it a hunch.

EDIT: DON'T READ THIS SPOILER IF YOU'VE NOT SEEN IT YET. YOU'LL SPOIL EVERYTHING.

Seconded. Really hot. I for one was hoping for Spoiler: a lesbian scene between her and Cain as a replacement to the hole left in Cain's heart.

That would have been the only thing that could have made it better.

OMG, that would have been awesome. Not to mention Spoiler: Ron Moore has a penchant for gratuitous sexual scenes. It would have been nice to have a threeway with Cain, Jeana, and Shaw. Still, I wasn't disappointed at all.

hahaha, that would have rocked....maybe it's on the extended, unrated DVD cut? :p

A man can dream.

This has all cum before and it will all cum again?

One thing I will say is that the timing of Razor sucks. It's really difficult to go from nothing for several months to an hour and a half movie and back to nothing for who knows how long with the writer's strike. I now wish I hadn't watched it at all and instead just downloaded it and waited till the day before the season premier.

I actually did that with the last two eps of the previous season. After Kara got lost my wife and I decided that things were nicely wrapped up for now and it would be easier to leave things there instead of watching the finale and having some huge cliffhanger. It worked for a long time until I accidentally found out what happened in the finale, then we needed to watch it and had teh stupid cliffhanger.

Regarding the strike, I found this article. I've quoted two relevant parts:

How the strike relates to the webisodes that BSG did:

Scheduling for the whole season:

The writer's strike need to end in the next week, then. If it doesn't I'm going to kick some ass. Where will I start? NBC. The execs need to pay writers as they make money (and it's complete BS that they're not making money off internet sales, of course they are. NBC has been on iTunes for quite some time and the cost of uploading a digital copy to iTunes is negligible.)

Hear that NBC? Get your house in order or you'll have an insane fan to answer to.

I just received a tip that due to the writer's strike, NBC might move BSG to the main channel...

Yes, you've already seen the episodes but just think how cool it would be if it got an even larger audience?

In celebration of the pre-order of Season 3 of Battlestar, I give you one of my favorite Youtube videos:
Sound of Cylons

Yikes! When does season 4.1 get here? Isn't it April some time? How can they torture us like this?

Will Kara be accepted back into the Papa Adama fold?

What will happen with a dying President Laura Roslin?

What about a non-military Lee Adama?

WHEN WILL THEY TELL US?!!!

This just in...

BSG returns this Friday. For a quick update:

What the Frack is Going On?

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG...

OK, calm down guy, you don't even get to see the season premier until you get back from Pittsburgh. Which, by the way, may be the lamest reason ever for not getting to see this episode when it airs...

guy, you need to prioritize. Seriously.

Frack, I still need to watch Razor.

Yes, I still haven't watched it, even though I've had it on DVD since December. I guess I've been meaning to savour it and only watch it when the new season was on the horizon.

Either that, or I'm just out of my fracking mind.... where's the ambrosia?

Sci-Fi is running a marathon it seems this week. I got 9 episodes yesterday on the ol' DVR and the light is on it this morning recording something so I imagine that is more. I did watch the mini-series yesterday by chance before I knew it was on. Very cool to go back and see what they did and the differences.

I have my DVR setup to wake me to Battlestar every morning.

Best. Alarm clock. Ever

Wow, I thought this was your alarm every morning:

I finally watched Razor last weekend. I didn't know the new season started this week until today.

If you need a refresher course, here is about 40 hours (30? I don't know) compressed down to 8 minutes. They actually do a pretty good job of covering the story.

(It was working this morning, it isn't working for me right now)

The latest, and most exciting, promo for the upcoming season.

I really...really...really want it to start ASAP.

A. Pittsburgh is actually quite nice
B. This visit may seriously affect the course of my life
C. You're completely right

One thing I am not clear on. Remember the whole "Eye of Jupiter" thing where Dianna Beirs (Zena whatever her name is) saw the final five and said she was so sorry to one of them?

Ok - someone built that place who I assumed was the 13th tribe headed to Earth - humans correct? How then did they know who the final five were? If they were not humans they why wouldn't Cylons tell their buddies where Earth was? And even so, how long ago did they build that place? I mean it seems like in the last 42ish years the Cylons went from chrome toasters to 12 human form models. But the whole temple / eye of jupiter thing was constructed far before that. This does not make sense to me as something resolveable within the current story set.

Anyone want to jump on this?

"This has all happened before and it will all happen again."

Bingo.

that got put on the Tivo as an extra commercial... it was quite interesting to squeeze 3 seasons into a few minutes.

so I only got to page 4 or so, I just wanted to say i'm ramping myself up on this BSG stuff, I've never even seen a single episode before last night so I decided to torrent the entire season 1 and go from the start.

The doctor reminds me of "Julian Bashir" from DS9 (is it the same guy?)

Starbuck is hawt. very hawt.
I wubs her.

and I just watched Adama and the season 1 "cliffhanger" still waiting on the other seasons to finish :)

not same guy, Alexander Siddig played Bashir.

James Callis I never seen him in anything else.

Similar, but not the same. The only other thing I know James Callis has done is one of the Bridget Jones movies. But I hope he does a lot more after BSG. I really like him.

Shauk: Be sure to watch it in order! BSG is one of those kinds of shows where you don't want to skip a single episode. Enjoy :)

yeah i'm currently on episode 8 of season 2, ill get caught up by next weekend i'm sure.

Spoiler: Rumour has it a polar bear goes rampaging through the CIC and mauls Adama to death before being ripped to shreds by Col Tigh who's regenerated his eye and now has super strength

I did the same thing. downloaded all three seasons and watched them all within the week.
