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

    Actually, it's Australia's. But until they float Australia to the North Atlantic, they're not allowed to hang out with us.

    So uh hey how about them Cylons?

    Australia aren't getting it today so far as I know. It's just, you know, their turn.

    I can't wait to see more hot space action. Though I hope we get the second half of season four soon...

    Speaking of Australia -

    Has anyone bought the Region 2 Razor DVD from Amazon? If so, can you tell me if the case says it is actually for regions 2, 4 and 5 (particularly 4) like the rest of the series? Amazon says it is only Region 2, but it says the same thing for the other seasons.

    The novelty of getting season 3 on DVD months before America has worn off now that it appears there are no special features and no sign of a release date for Razor...

    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.....

    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 have just seen the next ep from Sky One. Holy Frakken gods again. It's a damn good ep. Romo is back in form and doing excellent at the psyco babble. I like him better as Romo than Badger, and he did Badger great. And they brought the damn cat back!

    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!

    Okay. Here's the deal.

    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.

    Wow.

    Huh.

    Wow.
    considering they'd have to be insane to kill off Roslin and Baltar off-camera, odds are good she's alive. But will she accept Lee as President?

    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.

    Current, unaired Episode spoiler follows:
    Interm President, which I believe means he'd be required to step down once Roslin returned. Even if he wasn't Lee probably would. The fun part will be the quorum's reaction to that since they apparently like Lee far more than Roslin.

    So, question for those who saw Sine Qua Non (most recent episode):
    I don't get the dead cat. It was walking around the whole episode right up until Lee looks in the bag, no? And then he says it's been dead "for weeks?" Romo was just tripping out seeing things?

    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.
