Battlestar Galactica Series4

[Blue Meanie]

There are so many 'breaks' as there are so many commercial break in the US. On some channels you have one after the opening credits, then another 5 minutes later, and so on, and so forth. On some channels, a film can go on for 4 hours, despite only being 2 hours long as there is so many bloody commercials!

[JonRB]

I've taken to starting watching BSG on Sky+ 15-20 mins after it starts, because after fast-forwarding through the recap, pre-cap and adverts, I catch up to "live" round about the time it ends.

I think it's pretty disgusting that 1/3 of the viewing time in an hour's programme is adverts and stuff.

it was for this very reason that I didn't watch Sries 3 on TV at all, but waited for the DVD boxset - although with SKY+ now, we can record and skip the 20+ minutes of ads per episode.

Right..so Ive just watched Ep3 as I understand it.

When the buggery were Ep 1 and 2 on? More to the pt, as we have the downloads gimps on this thread..where are they pulling the EP downloads so I can watch the first 2 from this series?

Eps 1 and 2 are RAZOR, even though it deals with "old" issues.

Eps 3 and 4 were last week's double bill.

Ep 5 was tonight's.

Sky says no.

Sky says tonights was EP 3. Their show guide says EP1 and 2 were a dbl part episode about Kara coming back, then confronting the Pres and getting the Demetrious to bugger off for Earth.

Recorded it whilst watching the footie. However, recording faied. (Sky+ HD). Guttted.

I noticed that in the programme info too.

Razor is properly considered as eps 4.1 and 4.2, at least according to Ronald D Moore. It just happened to be released early, to allow them to market it as a standalone DVD.

Not that it really matters :shrug:

The civil war between the Cylon factions is shaping up to be interesting..... And I wonder what Pandora's Box No. 6 has opened by removing the governing chips from the Centurions.

Poor old Callie

[rsv gone!]

Sounds like the USA is only half a week ahead now.

I wouldn't be surprised if the end of the series saw the robotic Cylons hunting down the humanoid ones, in the same way the Cylons sought to eradicate man.

[AndyWoodall]

Indeed as the other chap said, according to the production schedule Razor is considered as being Ep 1 and 2 of Season 4. In reality the normal 45 minute episodes are being referred to as 1, 2, 3 rather than picking up at 3 and then going to 4 and 5 as the production listings say.

We get it a few days after it airs in the US this year. I think that's probably to do with the fact that Sky are co-funding it. Or at least I assume they are - for some reason, I let the end titles run after I watched it last night and right at the end, as the production company logo comes up, it flashed up the Sky logo saying "in association with".

[Plotloss]

Shown in the US on a Friday night.

So this Friday's is S04E04

Which is actually episode 6 in production terms.

Or just plain Episode 4 to everybody else.

Seriously, just because BMW owners feel the need to sound like tossers when quoting their E designations codewords, dont be bringing that much gimpness to a 45min Sky One show.

It's S04E04 if you're typing it in to the search facility mininova etc. Else it's episode 4. Or maybe episode 6.

I think he was pulling your leg.

Poor Callie , she didn't deserve that. But it gives a damn good indication where one loyalty lies.

Quite an ending to this weeks episode.

Agree the Cylon Civil War looks to be a good arc, but who is the 12th skin job? Has to be revealed soon, surely.

Sky have co-funded all 4 series of BSG. The first series was even shown on Sky before it was shown in the States.

Apollo........ a little mincer.

yes or no?

Guys and gals I have not read this thread in full in case there are any spoilers so apologies if the question has been asked.

Basically I cancelled Sky about a month ago...not being tight, it's just that there are only so many repeats of Top Gear I can manage and I simply just never, ever watched stuff that I can't see on Freeview and with summer coming (hmmm...) I'd much rather be out doing stuff than watching the TV...however the one and only thing though that I miss horribly is BSG! The plan was to buy the box set when it comes out...any ideas when this is? Will I have to wait until the end of the series? If so I might just have to re-instate Sky!!!!!

Unles they decide to release the series as 2 half series boxed sets - you will probably have to wait until mid 2009...

Due to the writes strike BSG series 4 will be shown in 2 parts - the first half this year, the second half next year...

You could always download it - no adverts and available on Saturday morning....
