Battlestar Galactica Season 3

Except BSG is well written, intelligent and raises issues that Neighbours doesn't!

[*RedBull*]

My wife has a name for shows like that, they are called 'soap operas'. The B.Dramatica trend continues...

Maybe next week we'll find out if Blair cheated on Sonny and is having Ricardo's baby!?

That's just like Soapoperaville - things turn ugly when Lana's baby doesn't turn out to be Lex Luther's, it's Clark Kent.

Good catch! Interesting it being the same song!

there has to be something with that song, especially since that was the song playing on caprica over the radio when starbuck and helo were in her apartment. So is that a trigger? ....

How exactly is stating that I'm not homosexual and will never support it, Homophobic? Do Homosexuals who advertise there sexuality get called Heterophobic? Your post is in accurate, I'm not homophobic in the least. I don't hate homosexuals, and certainly am not afraid of them. You are like most, bought the whole spill that homosexuals have fed our society. Wake up.

I hope it is a good episode. :)

I only mentioned it because you seem to have a big urge to announce it in your sig, which brought to mind this article here: Homophobia Associated With Homosexual Arousal: study

back on topic though, I can't wait for the next episode. I do agree though that the show is tarting to turn into a soap opra, they need more action just as in season 1 & 2.

Good News Indeed. I was a little disappointed when they only ordered 13 episodes at first.

[LOC Veteran]

Actually, its bad news. According to some in the industry, by Sci-Fi ordering the extra episodes, is them saying "we gave you the extra episodes, now end the show" pretty much. They gave them the extra 8 episodes to wrap up the series for the most part, at least that's what alot of people think is happening.

As I said last year, the ratings still stink, Sci-Fi is probably pulling the plug considering the cost involved.

[Budious]

The ratings stink because they moved it to Sundays. What the hell do they expect people to watch, Dresden Files :x ... I think BSG could benefit if they would put it on the same night as Eureka... could be the new SciFi Friday lineup. SG-1 canceled and I doubt Atlantis will survive much longer. On the upside, they could probably turn out at least two more Bruce Campbell flicks on the budget of a single episode of BSG.

The ratings stink for a couple of reasons, first because it is a niche show and second because its on Sci-Fi.

While we all may enjoy it, and think its the best written/acted show on TV right now (which many of us do) it is still a very niche show, sci fi to boot and only appeals to a fairly narrow segment.

Plus it airs on Sci-Fi, which has a habit of nuking shows people love, and never really advertising them right, plus not promoting them and changing schedules to launch/support other Sci-Fi shows.

Notice how SG-1 got cancelled the year after they changed Sci-Fi Friday from SG-1/Atlantis/BSG and now more than likely (again, according to some, just speculation) BSG's last season is season 4 coming up. All because Sci-Fi has to mess with the schedule and switch days and **** people off.

*sniff* Firefly oh Firefly!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

I expected since it was only a 13 ep order originally, that it was to be the end, since s2 & 3 were 20 each.

I'm also half expecting a spin-off.

*sniff* Firefly oh Firefly!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

It was Fox that murdered Firefly, not Sci-Fi!

[KeR]

I disagree LOC. I don't think the fact that they ordered 22 shows means its ending soon, on the contrary I think it means the opposite. Lets be honest here Sci-Fi doesn't have anything else worth watching beside BSG and they can't very well cancel their #1 show. I think they will milk this as long as they can, just look at what they did with SG1.

[davemania]

The rating for BSG has dropped since the start of the season and its not doing that much better than SG1 or SG Atlantis. It would be a shame if next season was the last, I think it still have a couple of more season in it.

I think Sci-Fi will sack BSG next season. If Sci-Fi was truly behind the show they wouldn't have done that announcement of 13 eps for next year. I think there was a lot of back door rangling by David Eick and Ron Moore to get the eps to properly rap the series up. The way the storyline is running I think it's going to end next year. Sci-Fi has never had the will to keep well produced shows running.

Farsacpe is an example. A show lauded for it's uniqueness, well written and acted shows even though it had a bunch of muppets on it. :) Granted it didn't garner as much praise as BSG but still. Sci-Fi openly complained that they weren't able to expand the audience due to Farscape's serialized episodes. They wanted neat little chunk's that would easily rap up in an hour. So they axed Farscape.

So they start up BSG and what do they get? Another serialized show that you can't simply jump in mid season and get it. And Sci-Fi does a horrible job of promoting. They should be constantly running through the old season's episodes at a decent hour so people can catch up.

Sci-Fi is quite content making their $2 sci-fi junk Saturday night movies. And that's all Sci-Fi will ever be. We'll get a glimmer of sci-fi genius every once and a while but it won't last long.

[Hupp]

sci-fi just oesn't have enough programming to fill every day of the week. They have enough original "good" content to maybe fill half a day. I would love a scifi wednesday or friday night with eureka or dresdan, sg:a, bsg.

I hope they dont cancel the show, I am fianlly starting to understand the show by going back and watching the older episodes.

I dont get why they dont air the first 2 seasons on like a tuesday and so people can catch up during the week for the new episodes on sunday

Apperently in an earlier episode, Tyrol was also hearing the music. I'm not sure if i noticed it, but trying to think back I think it may have been in the episode where he and Cally were stuck in the landing area a few episdoes back.
