Cheers. I had heard about this ages ago, but I only saw the minseries for the first time the other day. I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled next time I watch it!!

For the first time I caught an episode yesterday on Sky Three, one where they lose their water supply from a bomb explosion...

Yup has that "gritty" wobbly camera, also with the CGI, and a "naturalistic" style.

But on first impressions it doesn't seem to have the strong characterizations like Firefly, and it has that old sci-fi bugbear, sound effects in space.

Not bad though.

Deadwood was on straight after. What is all that about? All dialogue just seems to be people swearing at each other. No spaceships. There was one scene with a Chinese guy who's only word of English seemed to be "c***sucker". Interesting flipside to Firefly use of Chinese, in a way...

If you get the chance try to catch some more eps of both those shows - they really do grow on you. At least they did for me.

And despite the coarse language on Deadwood - it really is one of the most poetic shows on TV. Once you get over the swearing. I think the 3rd season is starting on Sky One soon, I've seen ads run for it lately.

I did some searching the other week to find out when Season 2.5 would be out and I found a site that said the tentative release date was September 19th. However, if you get the SciFi channel they are reairing the entire second season one episode at a time on 5 every friday before they start a 6 hour run of SG-crap (no offense if you're a fan, I liked the movie but 11 seasons plus a spin-off and only 14 eps of firefly? frak that).
A friend and I couldn't stand the wait and we will get the DVDs when they come out (already own the others) so we went ahead and downloaded them (not from itunes). Anyone up for a discussion of what the hell happened in that last 20 minutes? I wish frakinggalactica.net was still up...

I saw some of the finale, but I'm only now watching the show properly from the start - so I'll have to get back to you once I've caught up.

Although what I did see I liked - it was definitely a ballsy move to jump forward so much with the story, and I didn't get all of the subtleties of character yet - but I think it worked. Apparantly Scifi.com will be releasing little webisodes before season 3 arrives to fill in the missing gap in the timeline. Not sure of the details, I think it will focus on the resistance movement.

Webisodes? Thats news to me. I wonder what they'll be about...I figured they could skip ahead in the story b/c nothing really that important happens besides stuggling to live on a new planet, sleeping in tents and growing mustaches.

This is what ign.com reported in May from the NY Upfronts - where networks announce their fall schedules:

"The most exciting news on this front involved Battlestar Galactica, which airs on the NBC Universal owned Sci Fi Channel. Debuting later this year will be a Web series spin-off for the acclaimed series called Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance. Lasting ten episodes, The Resistance will fill in the gap between season two and the upcoming season three."

Read the full article here:

And here's another article detailing the upcoming Galactica spi-off series, a prequel set 50 years before the war, its called Caprica, and apparantly will be more character-based and less action -orientated. Charting the rise to power of certian familes, and the developement of the Cylons.

If you have broadband, check out SciFi.com's pulse netork, there's already plenty of features, deleted scenes to watch, producer's blogs, plus podcasts for almost all the episodes. Well worth a look for any fan of the show.

Although makes me kind of sad that Firefly wasn't this lucky.....

Thanks, I bought the region 2 dvd of the miniseries, watched it, got hooked, and then realised that the region 1 dvd of the whole first season included the miniseries, plus commentaries and features, so I sent the miniseries back. I forgot to look for Serenity while I was watching it, blame great story telling for that;) So I'll have to wait. I'm still waiting on the DVD to arrive in the post, can't wait to watch the rest of the episodes!!!
