Just got Battlestar Galactica - Season 1 at Best Buy

[Enraged_Ape]

Yeah, I know the official US release has more stuff and will be released September 20th. But I don't have cable and I completely missed out on this series (except for the four-hour miniseries which I have watched many times). As soon as it was available, I snagged it.

My question is this: Should I watch these episodes in one big 13-hour marathon, one episode a night for two weeks, or one episode a week for thirteen weeks (to make it last longer)?

1. You could *try* to watch it once a night

or once a week. Go ahead. Try. :hi:

I vote for one big marathon. :bounce:

2. Isn't it less than 13 hours?

If it's a US series, each hour is only 40 minutes without commercials, so you can do it in 9 hours or so.

4. I think you're right. It's officially 9 hours and some minutes.

That's why I figured in a few hours for pizza and bathroom activities.

3. When we were Going through a Babylon-5 DVD season

We watched 1 DVD at a time - and watched one episode of "Radar Men From the Moon" or similar short at the start.

5. 13 hour marathon without pizza and restroom breaks.

Be an Iron Couch Potato.

6. You fool, You haven't got a prayer!

Once you watch the first episode, you won't stop.

Do it early on a weekend.

7. Original series or the new one?

10. The new one

Best Buy currently has the "UK release"--basically the Sci-Fi show as it was released in the UK on SkyOne. (Apparently, the only difference is a different theme song.)

There will be a US release of the new show on September 20th, which will include a whole bunch of extras not on this release AND the four-hour miniseries. I already have the miniseries, so I didn't mind springing for this one. I HAVE to see this show.

8. They have La Femme Nikita season 3 at Best Buy...

Their price on it? EIGHTY-FOUR DOLLARS?

For that much money, Peta Wilson better stop by my house and watch them with me...

9. No bathroom breaks!!!

This is war in space, buster!!!

(EXCELLENT SHOW!!!) :thumbsup:

11. Marathon. Wow, BG has been out for a long time on DVD and you just got it?

It's a bit cheezy at times but Starbuck is outrageously smarmy and outrageous; Dirk Benedict is a hottie too... :9

12. This is the new one

I actually did watch the entire old series on DVD. It took a couple of months.
