I'm with you, TT. I don't know why a lot of people don't like this show. I think it's a great show and may be worthy of being called a classic along with Star Trek and Babylon 5. But the season's halfway over with, and I can't wait to see what happens when they finally find Earth (which may be this Friday, going by the trailer).

Heh...Would be funny (If I watched the show) if everyone on Earth was a cyborg...

it seems to me a lot of the negative reaction stems from it not being what people expected or wanted. For me, that's the most captivating part.

The first episode, 33 was amazing in my opinion.

My biggest complaint on the whole series in that apparent aimless plan of the cylons who, after wiping out humanity is playing with the survivors like a cat with a wounded mouse. That and many plot arcs could've been carried out longer and fleshed out in detail and made a whole lot better.

Such as Pegasus, new Caprica, the black market/zarek thing, baltar's trial and so on.

Oh, and I felt the revealed 4 cylons was a major cop-out.

I don't know about cop-out. I'm just amazed at the astronomical odds that 5 hidden Cylons, out of all of the billions of humans who died, are among the survivors. And most of them are well-placed, except for Anders, who's only Starburck's husband and a fledgling Viper pilot. But if Balter isn't the 5th Cylon, I wonder who it will be.

I missed Friday's episode. Went and saw teh Incredible Hulk instead. Much, much better than that 2 hours of wasted space that came out in 2003. But was it worthing missing BSG for? Only depends on what happened. I'll try to catch it this Friday, but then Get Smart is coming out also. I'll see if we can go see it on Saturday instead. I hate missing BSG when i can avoid it.

> 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.
