First look at new Battlestar Galactica Episodes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the are-you-ready-for-this dept.

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.

    Why is this a sign of success?? I think this behaviour by the studios is disgusting.


    OK, I can understand a simultaneous broadcast, but why doe the UK have to act as testers for the program, and then have to wait an additional 4 months because the test went well???


    Karma be dammed, I'm going to download these episodes and boycott the TV showings. The UK are NOT second class consumers despite what the studios believe.

    about the only things I can agree with you on are The Andromeda Strain (one of the few decent Crichton adaptations) West World (oh, look Chrichton again) and Logan's Run.

    I mean, you're using Sliders as a basis for judging what constitiutes good sci-fi? Really? Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan, but highbrow entertainment it aint.

    Personally I think it's a pretty good time for Sci-fi at the moment. The Serenity movie's coming out soon, Dr Who is on TV again (and it's awesome), I'm loving BSG so far, and lots of people are getting excited over Lost and Atlantis, not that I've watched either.

    Looking back to last year, when the world looked pretty grim - no Buffy, no Angel, Firefly and Farscape cancelled and seemingly nothing rushing in to fill the void - I'm grateful for what we're getting now, and I want more.
