Bumping this up. We're almost there.

SPOCKED · January 17 2009, 02:53 AM

We're all ready to go - been watching the lead up on Sci Fi all day

Agent Richard07 · January 17 2009, 03:00 AM

I'm watching a 4 hour block of BSG right now. Just saw "Revelations" again, then two half-hour documentaries. Now I'm about to watch the webisodes on TV, then the premiere. I've never seen the webisodes, so it's like two new hours of BSG.

Oh, I thought the other thread was live commentary as well

Hey all, just watching Revelations again and the Saul Tigh/Adama scene where he outs himself still awes me after a year. Those two could teach a class on acting.

It hasn't been a year. "Revelations" aired in June. Its only been seven months.

Lee and Zak are the final Cylons. You heard it here first.

What if there was a miscount and there are actually 13 cylon models. That would be an interesting twist.

Nobody · January 17 2009, 03:31 AM

I'm to scared to do anything else during the show; I'm afraid I'll miss something. Computer going off, phone on vibrate, eyes incessantly on the TV.

That rounds, you know.

Anyway, it feels like a year.

I am so excited, I can't even sit down. I think I'm going to pee myself.

Any race of machines that can't count to 12 properly is way less intimidating.
