> I missed Friday's episode.

Then you missed the end of the season, grege. You'll have to torrent it or wait for the DVDs.

AS of last week, you could watch it in 10 minute increments on youtube (five parts).

Battlestar Galatica can be summed up in three little letters; WTF.

Why do you think I started this thread with those exact 3 letters? Darn, I missed the season finale, and they probably won't be showing the reruns now until 2:00 am on a Friday night. That sucks. I'll definitely have to wait for the dvd set, if they release it this year.

I thought this was supposed to be the final season? I'm confused. When is the next episode?

The writer's strike put a small lag in the episodes, and with the post production needed, the episodes would be ready too late in the season, so ... the producers decided to push the last half of the final season way into the future, say 2009, some time.

It is, sort of. The season is being split into two parts due to the writer's strike. The final ten (although there's talk of adding one or two additional) episodes won't air until first quarter '09.

Just another way to milk the battlestar galatica cash cow IMHO.

It's hard to avoid coming to that conclusion, when the producers openly say that they'll have the episodes sooner, but don't want to release them, because they'll be in competition with the US football season. I read that and I'm like "WTF?, I've got TiVo. VCR's have been around long enough for most people to have them. And maybe a diehard fan would rather see an episode of BSG instead of one game." I just don't get it.

Well, like I said before, they probably won't resolve everything in the final few episodes, there will probably subtle hints buried in Razor and Caprica about what's really happened. It's hard for me to keep track of these -- is Razor done, and soon to be shown, or did we see it already. And is Caprica still on the drawing board, or what?

I don't think I want to get sucked into another serial. But then again, what else has the SciFi channel got that's good?
