OT: Season 3 BSG

[Will]

Well, the only reason I have a cable subscription is because it was cheaper to get the package cable/phone/internet deal than it was to just get phone and internet separately. I never watched much TV in the first place, and the cable I get has ****ty selection. About the only thing worth turning on the tuner card for is Comedy Central for Daily Show and Colbert Report. I don't get Sci-fi for BSG. The other shows I "watch" all air in other countries, but not in the US.

But the plus side is, never need to watch commercials

This is why I don't bother watching TV anymore. If I download and watch say Heroes & BSG, I'm done 40 minutes before I would have finished watching them on TV. That gives me 40 minutes extra to study, do some cleaning, play some SE, do whatever, but it's 40 minutes of my life that I didn't have to spend watching the uninspired drivel that passes for commercials these days. I mean, the ads aren't even entertaining anymore!

As for product placement, it doesn't really bother me. Replace the Galactica with a giant Pepsi can, and the Colonial uniforms with Nike or Adidas gear, I don't really care, as long as the show is good, I'll watch it. On my computer. Without the extra commercials. Mwah.

I stopped watching TV years ago. Don't even own a TV anymore. Babylon 5 was the last thing on TV that I had any interest in. Now, only when I visit someone else who still has a TV do I see any TV programming.
