I'm watching it on Sky One and its pretty good. I particularly liked the episode where they kept jumping to light speed only to have the cylons catch up exactly 33 minutes later (was it 33?).

I also liked the original and while the new version is better in most ways there are a couple of things I miss. In the original I liked the relationships that Starbuck and Apollo had with their respective girlfriends - the new series is very serious with little fun for the characters. Also in the new series the cylon attack was shown as a lot of big explosions seen from space - I preferred the original where they showed people running in panic in a mall as it was destroyed, even though the special effects were poor back then.

>> I wish Firefly had the same people backing it...

Sky One = News Corp = Fox so it did have the same people backing it.

>> We needs more wrastlin' and nudity.

Except of course if it actually has nudity when shown in the US, the station will be fined hundreds of thousands of pounds by the regulators. In the UK, if the show has nudity the regulators will say "Meh." Enjoy your free speech rights. :)

>> I noticed Serenity landing in one shot! lol!!!

Which episode and when?

>> I also liked the original and while the new version is better in most ways there are a couple of things I miss. In the original I liked the relationships that Starbuck and Apollo had with their respective girlfriends

I agree, we should definitely should see Starbuck and Apollo with their girlfriends. Lots of shots of Starbuck with girlfriend. Yes.

How do I download the episodes? I looked at Sky One but didn't see the links? Sorry if this has already been asked, but I didn't read ALL the posts above. Thanks!

Edit: Serenity is in the pilot (i.e. 4 hour mini-series) and flies overhead in Caprica city. I think the view is through a skylight.

Burn the land, boil the sea...

There are a number of uploaders on Usenet, in a variety of formats. There are a number of bittorrent feeds too, though I haven't used these as they're less efficient in my circumstances. Spoiled for choice

Thanks for the info. I took a look at both those links and they are a tad confusing. Guess I'm having a Jayne moment. Can you clarify how to take a look at all the eps?

I have downloaded them all with Bittorrent (Azureus). Go to http://suprnova.org/ then TV shows / Battlestar Galactica and scroll down to the bottom to see the episodes.
