Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Premiere 492

fanblade writes "As if slashdotters needed another reason to stay home on a Friday night, the 20-episode second season of Battlestar Galactica premieres tonight at 10/9C on the Sci Fi Channel. The series, a 're-imagining' of the original 1978 TV series by the same name, made history as the highest-rated original Sci Fi Channel program ever. The first episode of the second season, 'Scattered', won't be televised in the UK until October, but I seriously doubt that will be a problem for the show that 'killed broadcast TV'. There's also excellent coverage on Wikipedia for those eager to brush up or catch up on the first season."

My favorite complaint about the series (I haven't seen it) came from a friend of mine the other day.
"Starbuck is supposed to be a womanizing man, not a womanizing woman!

It's almost like they want us to download the torrent instead of tuning it to watch.

I am firmly in favor of equal rights. We should not discriminate due to race, gender or sexual preference. You should be more open minded.

I also believe in our right to watch it on film.

Maybe with that blonde Cylon chick...yeah...

It works out great for me at school:

8:00 - SG-1 starts, sit down and crack a beer
8:30 - Commercials, order delivery for diner (mmmm dumplings), beer #2
9:00 - Atlantis starts, food arrives, beer #3
10:00 - BSG starts, throw leftovers in fridge, beer #4
10:30 - Commercials, change into 'outside' clothes / brush teeth, etc. beer #5
11:00 - Sci-Fi friday over, full stomach, nice buzz, ready to hit the town

All in all it's not a bad routine for a friday, not that much in the party scene at school gets going before 10:30 - 11 anyway.

That night in 1978 that Battlestar Glactica premired, they were showing the movie King Kong on another network. It was a very big night for tv when I was kid. But then disaster struck:

They interrupted both shows because Isreal and Egypt were signing a peace agreement. And my mom sent me to bed.

Egypt and Isreal had been fighting for hundreds of years... couldn't they have waited one more day? Think of the children.

My frickin' MythTV box isn't up and running yet!!! I've still got to recompile the kernel three times, reinstall lirc drivers twice, and then wipe the drive and reinstall Gentoo all over again before I can successfully record BG for my Saturday morning viewing pleasure!!

Only if they have the bikes. Can't have Galactica 1980 without the bikes.

That depends. Is your fiancee a robot?

And if so, does she use her powers for good or for awesome?

My only question is, what's up with the Friday slots? Aren't those slots where shows usually die? I think it depends on the demographic you are after. I don't think they are shooting for 18-24 year partiers;-)
Well, back when I was 18 to 24. I didn't leave the HOUSE until 11pm. Now that I am older and wiser, I have trouble staying awake past 10pm.

Oh, Sci-Fi Channel, Why do you do this to me???? Change the time slot to 9pm! Then I can stay awake.

Geeks don't have social lives and tend to stay in and watch these shows. I am one of them :-)

Katee Sackhoff has said that if the ratings ever flag, she's willing to do her part by getting in a fight with Six in a bikini.

I don't need a reason to stay home on Friday nights. I need a reason to go out on Friday nights, and there just aren't any.

Besides, I'm this>close to getting my Tauren Druid up to level 34!
