They have shown a couple of episodes on regular TV ... just Awesome!
I watched the original (and liked it) but I like the new one and I am glad that it is Not like the old one

That pretty much sums up the way I feel too


Dang regular TV channels, they just had to show only a couple of episodes .. why not carry the series!

D_B, you don't need the regular TV channels. You can download all of the episodes with no commercials.

Repeat after me: Bit Torrent is my friend.

Azza, this is an easy problem to solve. You can download all of the episodes using a bit torrent client. There are torrents already packed up for each season. The latest episodes are usually available within a few hours of being aired. PM me if you want more info.

Daryl this is something I am not really familiar with.
Now my boss was trying to download season 2 of Prison Break and the episodes were not what they stated they were. He was using Limewire or morpheus I think.
Is there something better????
Its been over a year since season 1 of BSG was aired here and I am hanging out to see the others.

Or you could do it legally, and buy/rent/borrow the DVD sets for the first 2 seasons, and buy current season episodes off of iTunes.

That's what I did to get into it... Borrowed the first 2 seasons from a friend, and then used iTunes to get caught up to the then current episode. I had seen an episode or two before I did that, but it's a bit hard to get into without seeing the miniseries (which is part of the season 1 DVD set).

For those watching on SciFi, note that when it comes back in January (1/21) , it's now going to be on Sunday nights. And if you've missed a Season 3 episode, it looks like they're playing them all during the day on 1/15 (MLK day)

edit: doh. Missed that Azza was a Kiwi, making legal options less likely to be possible.

Ya a few lessons you learn early is to stay away from compressed archives. Those tend to be fake most often. I can vividly remember trying to grab something and it turned out to be, and I'm not kidding: gay "attractive and successful african americans" from outer space.
Never clicked the x faster in my life.
Oh and ya BSG is the best show on now (although the shield is starting soon so it's a tie).
