You should watch it, see, because it's quite good.
REGARDING SPOILERS:
As it's on right now, I'm favouring those who're watching the show live, and allowing spoilers. Most people are using this thread to discuss the new episodes as they come out, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. If you're not up to date and you want to know if the show's awesome, then yes, it's totally worth it. Watch it all, then come here.
All kinds of spoiler discussion is totally fine, EXCEPT for stuff about future episodes. However, official statements (like stuff RDM says) are totally fine to say, because if he chooses to release stuff like that, it's probably more clarification of ambiguous stuff than spoiler.
NOTE: People in the UK (this includes me, OP) get episodes on the Weds after the US Fri/Sat airdate. That means this place is going to have a bunch of spoilers in that time. Again, sorry, but the majority wins.
And, for those of you at home:
Here is the Battlestar Galactica Wiki.
It's a fantastic resource, and should be your first port of call for any info about anything BSG,
though, of course, bear in mind it's full of spoilers if you're not up to date.
NEWS JUST IN:
19/08/08 - A two-hour television movie will air sometime after the series finale. It will be based
on the perspectives of two cylon agents before the attack on the 12 colonies and hence the
events will take place before the mini-series from 2003.
08/12/08 - Caprica is confirmed to be receiving a full season of 20 episodes ("including" the two
hour pilot - not sure if that means 20+2 or 18+2) to be filmed in '09 for a premiere of early '10.
DATES:
Movie: Summer 2009
Caprica: Early 2010

the internets say NAY!
Librarians harbor a terrible secret. Find it.
Wait, only in the UK? That will be a .... problem. Yes .... of course.
If not, it's still better than whoever else they come up with by far.
Okay, yeah. This. This right here.
Librarians harbor a terrible secret. Find it.
12 episodes left.
However SciFi decided to extend the final season, which means there will be some kind of massive cliffhanger on June 13th, then probably a six month break before they air the "final-final" 9 episodes of the series.
Oh and by the way.....
I'm so lost...
Comfortable, permanent
Undisputed, every tense
Not a trace of what went left
More equal than the best
Unparalleled success
Everybody, V-impressed
6 month break? Bah, I guess i need to turn to canada when they decide to show it straight through rather then wait.
Librarians harbor a terrible secret. Find it.
HA! Space will show what Sci-Fi gives them and so far we have had the exact same schedule. In fact for at least one season you guys got it Friday or Saturday and we got the new eps on Sunday.
Having seen the british showing I must say this...(reposting from the old thread)
I really thought they might have saved Natalie. And Adama kicking Athena's ass was beautifull. This is deffinatley BSG back in form.
Wow we have another hybrid child in the oven and Saul is going to be a Daddy.
Old men duking it out and gods I hope that ship was just a copy this time. Saul called Adama out on his affection for the president. I thought for sure that Saul was going to come clean to Adama about being a Final Five.
You all called it, Lee is President.
Fuck Adama resigns! and his speech when he hands over the tabs to Saul was great. Again I want Saul to tell Adama who he is. I can't wait for the podcast for this one.
JAKE!
Snap Adama finally admits that he loves Laura and him in a flight suit is damn hot for an old fart. Nice touch with his and Starbucks "What do you hear?" line. Fuck week and a half to another one. And he even goes by his call sign. Husker returns!

Damnit.

I never finish anyth
Yup.
Don't click spoilers if you don't want to know, kids. And you can always stop reading.
I just started watching Battlestar Galactica a week ago. However, I am already up to season sour, episode three. Yes, I watched the pilot mini-series, all of season one, all of season two, all of season three, and two episodes of season four within a week.
I had no idea this "Razor" thing existed, or these Resistance webisodes.
Should I stop watching season four until I can get my hands on Razor? Does it matter? My understanding is that it is comprised mostely of Pegasus flashbacks. What about these Resistance webisodes?
Also, is it proper to capitalize "Season Four" as such? Is this something of a proper noun? Or is a decapitalized "season four" sufficient?
Also, as I was watching, the promos for each episode seemed to have dialogue and scenes that weren't IN the previous episodes. A recent example is the "integrity" speech between Adama and Adama. The voice-over had extra dialogue in the promo. I think this was during the promo for "Crossroads Part II." Am I just nuts or did they add stuff specifically for "previously on..." clips?
They do add extra stuff to the "previously on". "Razor" is definitely worth watching, but I don't think it's a must-see for S4. And I usually type Season Four.
Edit: And I thought the webisodes sucked.
Huh.
Wow.
Was it just me, or did Starbuck look more confident in this one?
The 'previously on' segments are read more like 'plot threads synopsis'. If a Season 3 episode is going to deal with a plot element first introduced in the pilot, next expanded on in Season 2, then they'll say 'previously on BSG, this thing happened, followed by this thing. Now, watch this new thing'. It's minorly spoilery, as you can use them to divine which plot threads they're going to be dealing with.

And no, there's not another hybrid child in the oven, this one is 100% Cylon. Bill Adama steps down because he's lost his objectivity, and he hands over command to the single most conflicted person in the fleet regarding the Cylons. Smart move, bud.

That's not what I mean...I mean they literally add content to old scenes that didn't exist when they aired the episode. Like, say in Season 2, Episode 10 Colonel Tigh says "I like turkey!" And then in the promo for Season 3, Episode 4 the promo will have him say "I like turkey because my mother fed me turkey when I was seven!" The "...because my mother fed me turkey when I was seven..." part was never a part of the original episode. It's kind of disconcerting when you are watching the episodes (hell, seasons) back-to-back.
Also...Season 3 question about Starbuck:
Also, does Lee's willingness to punch Starbuck prove he is a misogynist or a feminist?
There isn't some Brit-quivilent Sci-Fi.com, like space.uk or something that might have the episode ahead of the US airdate, is there?

second paragraph:
I will kill someone if Cally turns out to be the Final Cylon.

I'll take your word for it. Can you give me a specific example?
It better be as good as you guys are saying.

By...flying....to the UK.......and...watching...it on...somebody's DVR? Today?
Also, that was the omega spoiler earlier in the thread. The spoiler by which all others should be measured. It looked all innocent, with its little "show spoiler" button, but then I clicked it and it grabbed my face and wouldn't let go.
Oh well, I'll still enjoy the episode.
SWTOR: Allanna (Shadowlands) / TSW: Sara-Luna
Don't read spoiler if you haven't seen it.
Although, I admit, Husker is a whole rainbow of awesome.
The last 8 episodes they've just opened up can after can of worms and they keep putting off actually making them mean anything. Tory kills Cally! No one cares. Chief connects with Baltar! Oh well. Starbucks ship is brand new with no navigation data! Meh. The Baltar Cult? Never mind.
Romo is a neat character but he seemed totally fucking shoe-horned into this episode, he practically says it himself 'this is a pointless exercise, it should just be you.' Only he does it with a really shiny gun and says shit about a dead cat in yet another Lee Adama Monologue About Justice scene.
I'd write up a bunch of SO DO YOU THINK THIS MEANS....? questions, but it seems most of those kinds of questions never get answered because the writers seem too intent on throwing more complications (ie distractions) into the soup.
Oh. And Racetrack clearly says 'Fucking' instead of 'Frakking'.
Er, the Adama/Adama conversation in Crossroads Part I was expanded for the promo in Crossroads Part II. But that's a mild example...there were scenes actually added to explain stuff in some promos. I cannot cite specifics scenes or dialogues right now as I'm at work. Perhaps when I get home I'll rifle through. But entire conversations were actually added to promo scenes that never even happened in the episodes themselves.
And yeah the cat thing didn't make a ton of sense, and really didn't need to be in there. I'm pretty pissed there wasn't a showdown with zarek, especially since Adama Sr being gone, Tigh probably wouldn't stand in Zarek's way of being president.
These definitely exist. There's one where Billy talks to Roslin about... something. I think they're talking about the fuel ship, and it would therefore probably be the episode with the strike. Whatever it was, the conversation had never happened in an episode before.
Borderlands 2 PA Xbox Metatag - Bazillion Guns
Yeah, I vaguely remember that one too.
A lot of them make sense but some others are way out of left field and show conversations that weren't even like extensions of the episode. I mean they follow the previous episode and relate to the new episode, but they present information - an apology, that someone knows something you didn't know they knew, etc. - that isn't available unless you watch all the "previously on..." clips before each episode.
