Having never seen the new series, i just bought the box set... bit dubious for the first couple of episodes, now i'm totally hooked, seem be watching several epsiodes a night, now middway through season two, it's magic!!

I watched the first episode of BSG, think it was '33', for the first time few days ago. Wanted to get into it but it didn't grip me. People rave about it so I feel I must be missing something.

Also bit confused as first few moments of the episode it said 'previously on BSG'. Do I need to watch the mini series that apparently pre-dated this?

Absolutely. The miniseries is basically the first 4 episodes and covers the Cylon attack on the colonies and sets up the characters and back-story.

I'm a massive fan of BSG but until i'd watched the miniseries and 2-3 more episodes i wasn't hooked - stick with it!

That explains why i struggled to begin with. You'd think the box set would have included the all important mini series, i wasn't even aware of it!

Well as i'm the OP, i can maybe sign out of this thread with a resounding thumbs up for the mini-series, loved the ending and some of the more poignant story lines are still fresh in my mind. May even sit through it again!

Currently on season two of The Wire, another classic methinks.

Dexter still my fave though.

My second viewing courtesy of i-player, enjoying it even more the this time round.

Also just realised i started this thread 10 years ago, what happened to the last decade...
