    My buddy's offered to lend me his box-set of the series, and I plan on taking him up on the offer when I have time (ie, finished Skyrim).

    I'm digging it a lot right now. I should have been in bed two hours ago, but I need to watch one more episode before sleep can even be an option.

    I'm a disc into the second season and an loving everything so far. Everything, that is, except the Gaius arc. For some reason it just feels like he and the Cylon are showing everything down.

    Oh I thought he had already used it, if he hasn't he will. It's not really spoilerish its just a phrase he uses a lot throughout the series.
    If you don't know where it comes from (cause i didn't till i looked it up) In craps rolling a 3 and a 3 only happens 3% of the time. High Risk High Reward

    So in sticky situatiosn that look grim Adama will say sometimes we just gotta roll the hard six

    I haven't noticed it, but I can't say for certain he hasn't used it. I'm a craps player, so I get that much.

    What I don't understand is this. The humans created the cylons, right? So why did they make them look so damn scary and create their gun-arms?!

    So addicting.

    They didn't create them that way. In the opening credits, it says 'they rebelled; they evolved'. I have always assumed in that order. :lol:

    I think if the Caprica series had continued, we would have learned more about the rebelling and the evolving part. But alas, it was cancelled.

    I'm currently on season 4.0, and the series is starting to drag. I'm told that it will pick up again, but I can't see it picking up back to the level of the first two seasons at this rate.

    I'm just about to finish season 3 and Starbuck is annoying the ever-loving crap out of me. I know she's a fan favorite but every time she gets that stupid smug grin I just want to slap it off her face!

    Yeah i think i've said it befoe in this thread i thought seasons 3/4 were both a little inconsistant.

    I seem to remember 3 starting and finishing strong but the middle bogged down for me.

    Season 4 i don't recall the details but i actually liked the end (many do not share my opinion)

    I would agree though that season's 1/2 were my favs. If you all have made it that far though i think it is worth finishing just to have the closure.

    I've got five episodes left, and I gotta say I'm just not as into it as I once was. Maybe it's because of Roslin, she just irks me royally. Maybe it's the pacing, I don't know. I just don't feel it was much. You're spot on about season 3 though, it started and ended strong. The fourth just doesn't have the same feel as the other seasons, like there's no urgency anymore.

    I'm a little behind on this, but by word of mouth I just starting watching this series two weeks ago and am HOOKED!

    I just finished up season two tonight. This is GOOD stuff. I would rank it just about as good as Lost.


    I am SO with you!! When I first started watching it a few months ago, I could not stop watching! I was instantly hooked. I had to take little break in Season three though, I think I overwhelmed myself..and then after about a month or so later, I started from the very beginning again and it was STILL amazing! :D
    I'm on Season four right now and I had to stop again..it started getting a little...I don't know.. repetitive?
    But I am excited to finish it. :D

    I like BSG, but I would not rank it as good as LOST.

    Or maybe I should say, LOST less the last 20 minutes of LOST - I loved LOST all the way up until the last 20 minutes of the show...and then they pissed me off with the ending. :lol:

    I'm not crazy about the ending to BSG either...but I can live with that ending a lot more than the ending to LOST.

    But ending aside, LOST is a fabulous show, and I rank it above BSG.

    But Babylon 5 and Star Trek Deep Space Nine (where Ron Moore did is best work before BSG) are better than both LOST and BSG, IMO. :)
