Season Two lost its way a bit, but Season Three is back on the ball.
Grim, dark, thoughtful
Suicide bombing, occupying forces, Great Escape style executions, and more complex and layered than ever.
Any fans?

whoever thought up the idea of cylons being hot chicks was a freaking genious!!
From 3.02 - Precipice
Sharon: How do you know? I mean, how do you really know that you can trust me?
Admiral Adama: I don't. That's what trust is.
whoever thought up the idea of starbuck being a hot chick was a freaking genious!!
Yeah, the suicide bomber thing was a great touch by the writers...I'm enjoying it.
The hotties in the show make it more watchable than the originals...
Season 3 opening episode were a bit slow I feel...things starting to ramp up by the end of the 2nd episode...
oh, i now regret not paying more attention earlier. bloody hell, third season already? time sure does fly... could a new comer still follow the story easily or is it pointless to start watching now?
Going throught the DVD's now. Watched the miniseries, Season 1 and the first couple of Season 2.
I love how this is everything Star Trek isn't.
Gritty, dark, low-tech. Good story. A sci-fi for people who generally don't like Sci-fi (using my partner as an example)
I find that it lacks a bit of what star trek was. All it is is a drama show carried out in a space setting. There's never any interesting physics, just endless chit chat about democracy and the cylons. I'd like to see it get a little more space tech.
This show is fucking awesome, probably the best drama I've ever seen. I've got to get my fiance into it somehow.
Space Opera is the term usually applied, Topher.
The original BSG was space opera.
The revival is not
Viewing figures for the first episode of Season 3 are 30% less than that for the first episode of Season 2...too dark for people, maybe?
No space battles - all grey New Caprica, and interrogation cells
I'm sure that the battles will come, it's just guerilla warfare at the minute though.
Once the Pegasus and Galactica return
C'mon - where's episode 3.03?
The sense of impending doom is palpable...
Are ProD and I the only ones who are watching the torrents?
I'm watching, most of my house is watching...
Next week should be fun/tragic.
So three in the UK only?
Weird...
Has Channel Ten finished showing Season Two yet?
Next episode should be a cracker.

I'm just watching the Virtuality pilot now, written by Ronald D Moore. pretty cool, shame it didn't get picked up for a series, there's some great character development going on. it's a pity they had to fall back on the concept of an evil corporation overshadowing everything, but funny that it's a reality tv program company.
a hybrid of Solaris/2001:/the truman show/that ABC childrens show with evil virtual reality...
just started watching season 3. as such i haven't read this thread. but i am enjoying it. fracking gods dammit.
When is The Plan being released?
Weird that the film which will tie up all four seasons is being released after the ''complete'' series DVDs...
Virtuality was awesome, its hugely fucking a shame if they don't pick it up. I badly want to know what happens next. Script and acting were all well above the standard I would have thought would've been necessary.
I'm kinda excited by The Plan - early Cylon nastiness before the Final 5 freaked them out.
Huge review (or preview) with stills here.
DVD ships from Amazon next Tuesday. God bless the strong Australian dollar.
When's the US Broadcast date mathieson?
in flipping ages, it's some time next year. i guess they're going to try and make a mint out of BSG nerds like us buying the dvd.
20 discs of bsg goodness in a biscuit tin appeared on my doorstep today.
now all i need is a ps3 to play the blu-ray discs on....
The Plan has hit the torrents
I've got my fortnightly nerd session on tomorrow. We're in for a treat!
Was there a better sequence anywhere on TV in 2009 than this?
The final battle, when they attacked the Cylon base, was unbelievable. Cylon on Cylon fighting, that slow-motion pan across the bridge during the hand to hand combat. Sigh.
But then Starbuck punched in those numbers and the extended ending that I still disapprove of began. Double sigh.
bought the plan on dvd over christmas but only just watched it last night
great to be back in that world agani.
the series feels more like ''something i watched'' now more than ''something i'm living and breathing'' because i really was that into it
but still. well worth watching. lot sof excellent loose ends getting tied up and brilliant work from dean stockwell, as always
US SyFy has announced that the second half of Season One of Caprica won't be screened until January 2011. Motherfrakkers!
i'm having a lot of trouble finishing season 4 since i found out my favourite character was a cylon. serious. i just don't want to watch it anymore.
another spin off while waiting for the rest of Caprica
