Battlestar Galactica Available for Download
blankgm writes "The SciFi channel has made Episode '33' (Season 1 Episode 1) of Battlestar Galactica available for free, uncut and commercial free, online at SciFi.com. Also available are deleted scenes from the series.
Is this a ploy by the SciFi channel to grow a viewer base as well as loyalty, or an extremely bold move since the series isn't even out on DVD yet? Hopefully it's both. In either case, I believe this is unprecedented, especially since season 1 hasn't even concluded here in the states.
Bravo SciFi. Keep 'em coming!"
Way to go SciFi Channel!
Now just go ahead and buy Enterprise and I will love you!
They will probably float. It should be quite impossible to drown in liquid mercury. I am not sure what other side effects may arise ;-)

Battlestar Galactica was a large carrier ship from the first war, as was in the process of a decommisioning celebration when the attack happend. It was the only one that survived as it had resisting having any new computer components especially any networks installed on it, as was the protocol in the first war.
This isn't entirely certain, btw. There were 120 battlestars, and only thirty of them were confirmed destroyed in the war. It's possible that some of the others may have escaped destruction somehow. For example, a few may have been in deep space when the attack happened, heard the reports that the Cylons were somehow "deactivating" all the craft that they encountered, and stayed away from the colonies to avoid destruction. Mostly speculation, of course, but it's not farfetched speculation.
