BGS season 3

[Tim Murray]

Why doesn't UniversalHD show current shows? They're a half season behind!

And it looks soo much better in HD.

Man, I would kill for BSG in HD.

Out of curiosity, I'm trying the HD torrent to see what the resolution is.

**** minor spoiler *****



















Did anyone else watch the Gaius torture scene and think it a bit messianic, with even a bit of 'The Last Temptation of Christ' thrown in ?

 

[SsP45]

Agreed. However I thought Doctor Who season 2 and Torchwood were joint effort (financially) between BBC and SciFi.

I don't know about SciFi, but I know the CBC here in Canada gave money for the production of Doctor Who and Torchwood. CBC's name is actually in the credits of Doctor Who (not sure about Torchwood).

Looking around for an update for LB I found an interesting thing, did anyone notice the Firefly class starship that made an appearance in the first BSG?

Well... and what happened to my update?! Dig you have the attention span of Peter Griffin!

It's too complicated. It's as if I said to you "I stopped watching Lost half way though the last season, can you tell me what I missed?" Reading the episode summaries I linked to further up the thread might be your best bet.

"I stopped watching Lost half way though the last season, can you tell me what I missed?"

Seriously... Nothing.

Personally I never got into Lost, so it's kind of... errr... lost on me.

I started watching BSG with high hopes, but the religious BS turned me off.
It's supposed to be Sci-Fi, not Rel-Fi...*shrugs*

True lately, my apologies.

Where did you want an update from? What was the last thing you saw? I'll even give you a quicky one from my own bad memory.

 

[Zaphod]

Well... and what happened to my update?!

Just buy the damned thing and be done with it, whydont'chya? It's been down to £12.99 a couple of times during the last week or so, but even at £15.99 it's a bargain.

You'd probably be a little bit of an ass-hat if you were forced to kill your wife too

I'd kill her too if she was my wife. She was nothing but a pain the whole time, probably the most annoying character in the show, but I guess she did a good job of acting though since that's what she was supposed to be

 

[digitalwanderer]

Ack! Thanks for reminding me it's on tonight, I'm gonna run out and pick up a shiny new DVR for the PC room so I can finally watch it in real time.

BSG is moving to Sunday nights starting January 21st.

"Gee, ratings sucked after we broke up the 3hr block of SG-1, Atlantis, and BSG. But rather than actually fix it, let's just perform the historical death of all shows by moving the timeslots." -- Clueless Scifi programming people.

Hooray!

Sunday night is actually a better slot than friday night.

Sunday night is actually a better slot than friday night.

Depends what it's being shown with, and what it's up against on the other channels.

In terms of potential viewers (particularly the coveted 18-25 crowd), Sunday is gobs better than Friday. That's where the X-Files finally hit its stride and sat for 5 years.

And how do you think BSG would have done if it had been put into a Sunday night slot against a high viewer incumbent programme with the same demographic - like say the X-Files? It all depends on the competition for viewers at the same time. We can take it for granted that whatever it's up against will be better supported/promoted than whatever Sci-Fi are doing.

There's a difference between BSG's situation and the X-Files' situation. The X-Files was slotted in at 9pm right behind the Simpsons. It had a fantastic and established leadin which allowed its audience to expand and grow in leaps and bounds.

BSG has no such leadin since the SG1/Atlantis/BSG three hour block was broken up.

 

[RussSchultz]

BSG is the main dish. It doesn't need a lead in.
