God I hate the SciFi Channel

[TurinTurambar]

Now I'm kinda pissed at myself for buying what I thought was Season 2. I found it at BestBuy.

I actually haven't seen a single episode of the current season. I screwed up my Tivo settings [bliss](Tivo... ah, Tivo!)[/bliss] and recorded over the premier. Not wanting to spoil it, and knowing I could get it on DVD later, I refrained from watching any of it. That was TOUGH! I was suprised that the whole thing was only 3 discs but now I understand why... and I'm kinda pissed.

But I guess if the new episodes start again this week I'd better get watching!!

Youre right GK... we suck.

They have been getting away with it for years and AT's rant is about the worst we hear but we certainly don't turn off that damn tube and say "To hell with them!"

Moo!

Some of us do. I'm moving soon and I don't even plan to buy a TV for the new place..

Hear, hear! There is only a TV in my place because my roommate brought it. Hour long shows reduced to 26 minutes of show and 34 minutes of ads is just too much...

It isn't the third season, I think people are just thinking it is because of the amount of time between the two halves of the season.

Here is a site with a list of Season 2 episodes
http://www.gateworld.net/galactica/s2/index.shtml

The thing on Scifi is a pre order of Season 2 you wouldn't get it until the episodes have premired at least somewhere be it Europe or the US.

For all you doubters out there, You can buy Season 2 now.

I just get livid pi**ed off at blatant attempts to rip people off. I guess my sense of right vs wrong is a bit stronger than it should be when it comes to things that I know I can not do anything about. Sorry guys, but the SciFi channel just royally pi**es me off.

sci fi chanel in America has the weirdest horrible breaks, I can not speak for BSG, but I can for Atlantis and SG1, so I am almost sure it is the same for BSG.

What they do is air the first 10 episodes of each show, side by side, then they take a break for almost or over 4-6 months, then they air the second half.

www.gateworld.net shows stargate sg1, stargate atlantis, like all other series of stargate have the full 20-22 episodes, but sci fi only showed the first half.

England starts showing the episodes months later than sci fi, but then instead of having months and months off, we only have 2 weeks off for Christmas, then we get them both back, and usually finish the series 1 - 2 weeks before America.

didn't the first series of bsg actually have under 10 episodes :S (excluding mini series?)

anyway, looking at http://www.playusa.com/DVD/Region_1/...-/Product.html (where I get region 1 dvds for England) it says "the first 10 episodes" so it indicates that there will be a diffrent second half

It really sucks for you! but dont worry, it will return!

Season one of BSG had 13 episodes.

The DVD set of Season 1 of BSG had the four hour premier movie from 2003 along with the 13 episodes of from 2004.

It would be kinda ok if the SciFi channel was only selling the first half of season two, but they aren't. Or at least that is the way it is appearing to be. Their web site is about has horrible as they come. Worthless is the best way to describe it.

That is actually quite normal and traditional for shows where it is questionable whether or not it will get good enough ratings to make money...
