I have just downloaded(via 56k....) the first 5 episodes of the new series of Battlestar and i've gotta say i've warmed to it. This show aint bad! Its not Firefly but its not bad.

They are test marketing the show on Sky One in Britian.

It is a great show, with alot of potential.

The last two eps had a two part story arc, I really hope they continue with this style, the writing has more time to fill out the stories.

Can't wait to see more

It seems strange for them to do that. I mean, they've spent the money making the episodes already, what are they gunna do if the test fails? not release the show anywhere else? Seems silly.

It gives them time to tweak the show depending on the response in Britain. I've d'led all the available shows (bittorrent I love you!) and have been circulating them ahead of time trying to make sure this sci-fi show has the shot Firefly didn't get.

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

If I recall correctly, Sky One put up half the money for the show with the qualification that they get to show the episodes first.

Yes, I've been downloading them too. It has a lot of potential.

Zoic is doing the CGI and it's much like Firefly with the zooms and lens flares.
