Battlestar Galactica in HD

Hauzer writes "Ars Technica is carrying news that I know will bring joy to some fans: Universal HD is going to be broadcasting Battlestar Galactica. They're going to run the miniseries and the first Season (2005) of the new Battlestar Galactica, starting Sunday night at 8PM, with HD repeats coming every week. Now if only Sci-Fi would provide an HD channel so we can watch when the new stuff airs!"

Am I the only one?

[stupidkiwi]

Am I the only person that thinks the new Battlestar Galactica is by far the worst sci fi program in history?
All they have done is take a post 9/11 GI movie, extend it, and add robots.
I stopped watching after the first five episodes.

Re:The doctor is a cylon

I missed a few of the early episodes, so don't really remember this character clearly. But if his name really is Doctor Roberts, and he really is a cylon, then maybe the name has a hint in the lyrics of a Beatles song from "Revolver"...

Doctor Robert

Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Ring, my friend I said you'd call
Doctor Robert
Day or night he'll be there any time at all
Doctor Robert

Doctor Robert
You're a new and better man
He help you to understand
He does everything he can
Doctor Robert

If you're down he'll pick you up
Doctor Robert
Take a drink from his special cup
Doctor Robert

Doctor Robert
He's a man you must believe
Helping anyone in need
No one can succeed like
Doctor Robert

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you
Doctor Robert

My friend works for the National Health
Doctor Robert
Don't pay money just to see yourself
Doctor Robert

Doctor Robert
You're a new and better man
He help you to understand
He does everything he can
Doctor Robert

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you
Doctor Robert

Ring, my friend I said you'd call
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert

Sounds like a hint to me -- "new and better man", "does everything he can", "take a drink from his special cup", etc. Fitting phrases for a fake doctor on a mission to influence the president's office...
