First look at new Battlestar Galactica Episodes
mikrorechner writes "GateWorld has had a look on five new episodes of the upcoming season 2 of Battlestar Galactica. Beware of spoilers. In other news, season 2 will be shown first in the US by the Sci-Fi Channel starting July 15, with UK's Sky One following in October." If only UHD would simulcast in HD this would be perfect.
Argh I read the first page and stopped. Those aren't spoilers, its a walk-through of what happens just like the overview of 'Lost' on the ABC website. Don't read it if you don't want big time spoilers. It even ruins the suspense of the cliffhanger at the end of season 1. BAH!
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one the bus load of girls just went down.
...very often, to price a show, to sell a show or to evaluate purchasing a show, you need to have numbers to go on. Living in Norway, I can assure you *no* show is broadcast simultaniously with the US. They always go by first season's US figures when selling here. I'm not sure how they do it for movies, but my impression cinemas they run all the big hollywood blockbusters, and then see how many weeks to keep it on. TV shows are like a one-off airing, a bit different.

Sky doesn't broadcast in HD TV, they won't even be shipping set-top boxes that support it until Q4 2005. The torrents were nothing but bog-standard PAL (576 lines interlaced at 50 half-fields per second).

Many jokes submitted contained references to animals. Jokes mentioning ducks were considered particularly funny.
Because SkyOne and SciFi worked it out that way. Neither really care about pissing off Brits or Yanks. They only care about $.
The show was very expensive. To mitigate risk, SciFi asked SkyOne to split the costs with them. SkyOne said fine but we get to show it first in exchange for helping you out.
Now for season 2, SciFi is confident and probably didn't need any help funding it. As a result SkyOne gets to wait for syndication like everybody else.
On BBC1 every saturday night slap bang in the middle of prime time viewing?
