i watched the first few episodes and liked it but it was too tense to wait another week to see the next episode so i gave up. I'll probably get a lend of it and watch it in a weekend.
It's brilliant.
Just keeps getting better and better.
Currently d/ling the latest season's episodes the day after they show in america.

remember space above and beyond? why did that flop and battlestar is doing so well, i mean they are both essentially the same show (slightly above average space opera fare) except S.A.&.B pilots could go home to earth for a bit of R & R.
what gives??

I downloaded and watched Space Above And Beyond a couple of months ago. It's not a bad show. Above average but it's in the ha'penny place compared to Battlestar. There's something really gritty and very very dark about the new Galactica.
The original version of Battlestar Galactica is also worth a watch. That's fairly cheap in town.
Not sure when season 3 is on Sky but it's available on the torrent network.
Up to episode 8 I think.
(For some reason, January is in my head for Sky, but that could be wrong).
They show it on US Sci Fi of a Friday, so it's usually up on Saturday as a torrent.
The podcasts are also quite good.

ill take your word for it. im just going on memory. that said, i wouldn't say battlestar is faultless, there was a run of really average, underplotted, ill thought out episodes in the middle of season two- they tried to fit in too many ideas/plotlines without adequately resolving any of them, the black market story arc for example
Id agree with that, once the triple parter episodes around mid season were done, the next 3-5 were fairly turdlike until they started focusing on the season wrap up, and then it got really interesting for the 1st 4 or 5 of season 3, the last 4 have been good but not mindblowing by any stretch of the imagination

same with season 3 so? thats a shame, its like they run out of steam when nothing is happening...
Actually, I reckon the last few on season 3 are probably quite pivotal with regards to understanding what's going on with the Cylons.
There's so much subtext. All this malarkey about the other five models and the minority report type pilot. Something weird is happening.
And as for Adama's confession (which, if he thought about it, doesn't make sense - Six was on Caprica for ages, though we don't know when that happened (okay, none of this makes sense if you haven't seen it but I'm wary of spoilers for those who haven't))....
I get the feeling that something big is happening. And it's not nice.
Three in a bed cylon romps.
Madness. Madness....

I think the space scenes interesting looking, but not in any way dramatic or exciting. Also, too many naked man shots, not enough naked lady shots.
Good show and all though

Xena - Warrior Princess ALMOST showed her arse t'other night.
I really want to like this show, but every episode I've seen has a moment that makes me change channel. I've only tried to watch about 3 or 4 episodes. Have I just been unlucky? The effects look brilliant and I'm always on for a "in the future, robots take over the fuckin planet" storyline.
Bit too much cheese in places. The last episode I tried to watch had Starbuck getting pissed out of her tree and toasting dead comrades with stupid nicknames. Just...couldn't....stand....it.....

Yeah there's a bit of that alright. Doing The Shield: In Space, and putting a north african/ celtic score over it doesn't necassarily make it edgy, tense programming. It's a bit cheesy sometimes
It is pretty good though all in all, has some moments. I thought it was on tonight on Sky One, but it's not, bugger
