Think it was buried by TV2 at midnight on tuesday / wednesday. Not sure what season they are up to. I've just added pilot + season 1 & 2 to my movieshack account. As with all good tv shows best to download or rent dvd's. TVNZ crap in terms of airing decent shows.

On similar note what programs & sites do people use to download tv & stuff?Been using Azerus and PirateBay. Would like something a bit faster.

No, never shown in NZ, they have just finished series 2 at that very late slot, but not series 3 yet. God, it's good! I thought Firefly was the ultimate, but Battlestar is a whole other kettle of fish.
We just finished a semi-marathon at my flat, watching 3 episodes a night for the whole of series one and two.
GOOD!

you naughty fellow, you are committing a crime!
However, those two you mentioned are pretty much as fast as possible, there are heaps of torrent sites but they will all be about the same speed, it depends on the person seeding at the other end.

Yeah I really liked the first two seasons, waiting to see what happens with the lot stranded on the planet.......sorry if i'm giving something away but by the sounds of it I dont think so.

What few episodes I did watch were really good and gritty. Battle Star at leas tried to offer some credibilty to the events and the environment it portrayed.

Firefly was brilliant concept. Unfortunately the lead charecter never developed the rawness that Hans Solo did in Starwars. There were some interesting charecters in Firefly that were never fully developed. The most interesting was the girl: the doctors sister. Much could have been made of her. The Courtesan also was a novel concept way before it's time. Again never developed to it's potential but still interesting.

Yes, grittiness! Imagine how good Star Trek could have been if it had had that grittiness, the grimness and grime. Star Trek was just too clean, too bright and light.
Interestingly, my favourite episode of Star Trek was where the storyline followed three Ensigns who were about to be sent on a special mission from the enterprise. It didn't feature the central characters at all, and instead focused closely on the daily lives of a regular crew person on board the enterprise. At the end of the episode you saw the three ensigns sent on the mission, and in the last two minutes you found out that they all died shortly thereafter. Very interesting episode, not upbeat at all. It shared that with battlestar Galactica

Yea, quite enjoyed Firefly too, I agree about the sister, it was a missed opportunity to take the series to another level and make that much more interesting.

I use www.tvtorrents.com. I have most of the aired series, including season 3 if you wantum. I got halfway through season 3 and lost interest a bit, but will get around to the rest of them when we get a DVD player that works (never buy transonic ...)
Firefly rocked, but didn't rate and was expensive to make, compared with the fashionable "reality" tv shows. Also people who watch those shows are dumb enough to support advertisers, so are the perfect product...

Grace Park (Boomer) is a honey. I'd like a starship full of cylon boomer clones please :p

The start of season four (http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/razor/) looks good.

Whenever hot asian babes are mentioned, SpankMe is there
When the hair is black, the eyes slanted, SpankMe is there
With golden skin of canary hues, SpankMe finds for me and you
Eventually some pissant liberal, will find KB and sue...

Thank you and God Bless...

I do, but I prefer to watche them on the TV rather than the computer. Convert Divx to DVD with WinAVi, open beer and watch. Next DVD player will have Divx play (and USB if I can afford it)

isohunter / mininova are pretty good too... not that I've ever used 'em :whistle: Love the BSG, although some minor details are a bit irritating especially some ground scenes with duce & half trucks, hummers and AKs. Come on, they're supposed to be on some other planet light years away...the art dept could at least make some fake laser guns or weld a few plates on those earth vehicles to make em look different<_<
Anyway the important thing is number 6 is hotter than the core of Cyrannus ...:drool::drool::drool:

I'd have you castrated and serve my cylon harem as a eunuch.


So they have a half decent blond and a hot Asian girlie, but what were they thinking adding that mutt Zena as a cylon girlie. I know the lesbos get wet over her, but she was just a disappointment. I was waiting to see who the next hot cylon girlie would be, and we ended up with a dog.

Have you watched the new Bionic woman series? Starbuck is on that. Also check out the new flash gordon (kinda cheesy) and Star gate atlantis. BSG is one of the best though.

Always thought the origonal TV series of Stargate was a good watch, Richard Dean Anderson made that program.

Cheers for the heads up. Quite enjoyable although rather long. Gotta love huge space battles and the wormhole weapon kicks ass!!

I watched the BattleStar Galactica Razor movie too. Its more of a flashback episode explaining the Pegasus's story. Season 4 of BSG starts up in Jan which I'm looking forward to. I thought the show might have been axed after seeing a few of its actors showing up in the new Bionic Woman series.

I liked Firefly as well. The movie Serenity was a great movie of the TV series and answered a lot of the questions. You also get to see more of Rivers' story and what she can do.

Here's a teaser for season 3 and 4 and Razor... don't read if you don't like teasers...
