The way BG is shot (digitally, I assume), I think the existing dvd's have it about as good as it's gonna get, what with the grainyness and all. Notice that the FX shots have the least grain cause they're done on different equiptment, or something ( I'm not a tech-head, someone on here can probably explain it much better than I can...), if it was the quality of the transfer, it would look questionable on those shots too, right?

Richard Hatch was awsome in ep 3!!!!!

All little things, but I shut it off after 4 of it's 13 minutes! It has a cool interview w/Joss, but I think it shows too much.



Can I just say 'Huh?'

I bought both the Battlestar Galactica Mini-Series and Season 1 boxed sets as soon as they came out and they certainly didn't have any Serenity stuff with them...

Where the gui did this stuff come from?


Twelve spheres of unendurable brightness spalled the velvety blackness of space.
The silence on Lester Tourville's flag bridge was absolute
And then the spell was broken as Shannon Foraker looked up from her console from where she had just sent a seemingly innocent command to the main computers of State Security's finest Superdreadnoughts.
"Oops." She said.

There's a little sticker on the box that says Bonus Serenity Sneak Peek, while supplies last. If you got yours last tuesday when it came out, I have no idea why supplies didn't last!?
Put a scratch on one disk, and take it back for one with the Serenity bonus disk!!! Immediatly!!! But don't watch it until after Sept. 30!!! It's not that it's got spoilers, it just shows too much in the way of memorable lines that will probably get a bigger reaction from you if you don't expect them.
But if you just can't resist, it's priceless!
Uhh, you did buy them in the U.S., right?

That's probably the problem... I bought the UK version in the UK back in... March-ish when they came out here... That might be why I didn't get the bonus DVD.

Will this Serenity disk be included with the general release Battlestar Galactica? And does anyone know the difference (if there is any) of the contents of the general release and the Best Buy exclusive?

There is a second shot of Serenity during the first season. Helo watches it take off on the horizon in one of the episodes.

I'd say more than likely, they'll be wanting to promote Serenity heavily just then.
The general release will have commentary, as well as the mini-series/pilot. All else will be the same, from my understanding.

"Commentary should be a no-brainer considering they had it upn their website. I just want it all in one place, you know?"


Did they have podcasts for each show like they do now?

Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.
