Should I just start with season 1 or the mini-series? I want to get to the good stuff asap, since I have to convince my wife to keep watching it, but of course, I don't wanna leave too much out.

What about Battlestar Galactica: Razor and Battlestar Galactica: The Story So Far? Both are available on netflix.
Battlestar is awesome. Welcome to the dark side. There are cookies on the table.

Now if we could just get it on Blu-Ray, I'd be totally stoked.

FRAK
You talking about?
Yeah please turn in your nerd card.
Oh, and by the way, there's a group of us doing a PbP game here on Penny Arcade. Imagine that.
And I just happen to have the thread right here: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=76325
And I just happen to be the Cylon. Well, at least a Cylon. There might be more. I don't know yet. But check it out.

You just got served.
And anyway, it grows on you.
FRAK.
Also enjoy the show you lucky bastard, I wish I could watch it all again for the first time.

o "We are well and truly frakked." - Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo (The Hand of God)

Yes.
If you want to be all 20th-century about it, yes.

I'd forgotten how awesome it is.
I think that's just because they were able to use actual expletives. BSG did well enough with their invented curses.
They cheated by using a language they knew their audience couldn't understand.
Which I guess isn't really cheating.
Trouble is they often say it like it's with a 'g'!
No they don't.
You're not allowed to watch any more.
The 'K' is heavily pronounced every time it's used.
I've never heard 'frag' from anyone.
You need to turn in your mouse. Now. Also, anything in your room that has "eXtreme" or any variation thereof needs to be disposed of.
I probably don't have to explain that this all started with the original BSG series (the one from the 70's) that was on ABC. The network censors wouldn't allow them to say "fuck", so the writers of the time chose to replace it with "frak". Honestly, this was probably the best they could come up with in 1978.
Even though SciFi is a cable network and could theoretically air the original epithet, they're using it as a throwback to the original series.
But in teh sense of killing someone or something.
Frak is distinct and is what all the hubbub's about!
In addition to the many various pointing outs of how wrong you are, I'd also like to point out that "Frag" is not when you kill someone in UT.
It's origin is: assassination of an unpopular member of one's own fighting unit (occasionally using a fragmentation grenade - cause it's easier that way)
It has since evolved to be used as a catch-all term for killin manz, but since you got the initial phrase wrong anyway, I figure'd you might need the history lesson.

I was quite suprised when you revealed yourself as a Cylon.
I'm happy to hear that, I was hoping that I wasn't obvious. I didn't want to slip up because with Starbuck's weakness I'd end up in the brig for a long time.
