There are faults with the last series, but the mutiny episodes are some of the best telly there is.
Totally this. The mutiny, capture and execution of Lt. Gaeta and Zarek were incredibly powerful, especially the scene where Felix chats to Baltar just before his execution. But yes the last season lost its way occasionally and The Plan was a massively disappointing epilogue (=final cash-in) as it really didn't bring anything new to the party and THE PLAN itself that we were told every week in the opening the credits that the cylons had was still never really made clear...
Still, epic stuff and may have to start rewatching soon!

Don't know if or where you could DL it from, I bought the box-set a while ago from Amazon, along with the follow up series (with the flying motorbikes)! smile It's so cheesy though to watch back as an adult! laugh

The complete original series is available on Bluray from Amazon for £41.30

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Battlestar-Galactica-Compl...

The first series is also available on Amazon Instant Video for £1.89 an episode or £13.99 but you would need an Amazon Prime membership to get it.

I was surprised it wasn't available on DVD too actually. But I did look.

Nope, long had that theory...

More of a ski slope to the upper surfaces, pointier nipples/areola and fuller below. Modern breasticles being more globular.

My better half subscribes to the 'enhanced brassiere' theory!

Not wanting to be a slave to trends, I've just watched the first couple of episodes, have to say it looks promising but one of the first scenes, No.6 & the baby in the buggy, I found that really disturbing.
I was expecting a light hearted space romp with some lasers and Lycra straining cleavage.
Is the rest of the series as dark?

It gets a hell of lot grittier and darker.

Athena, prison cell, Pegasus crew, still find it hard to believe they went that far with a Sci-Fi TV show.

Just so realistic and brutal...when two military commanders with different outlook/style clash without the supporting structure of the military high command to keep them in check...utterly fking brilliant television. I know BSG wasn't perfect (by far), but certain episodes were some of the best telly there is, full stop.

yeah, one in full possession of his moral compass, the other, gone beyond the pale and has not realised it, she also thinks she is in infallible and 100% correct, but could not be more wrong.

Thanks for the reminder, I think it's nearly time for my next re watch from the beginning.

Which order do most people watch?

Order?
The mini-series first, then the series proper 1-4.
I would watch, Razor whenever it is meant to fit in with the timeline.

Not sure if you've seen it but the unaired extended version goes even further than the broadcast one!
