Kinda catching up a bit on this series and just watched 03 09. Superb. BSG has really matured and come of age. It has seriously gone up in my estimation and anyone who can't see the quality is a dickhead. Think I'll watch e09 again before going on to e10. It was that good.
S'funny that, I agree that the shows have gotten better, the first 5 or 6 of S3 were excellent. The next few weren't as good...and I'm embarrassed to say I forgot what happened in E10...actually, just gonna fire it up and I'll be back to finish what I was typing...ahh, yeah, the ex-junkie Thrace-hating pilot one...yeah, I thought the most recent ones were the weakest of this season, not really taking the plot forward so much, recovering old ground with a few twists - not always a bad thing, but I was loving the break-neck pace that the story was going at before them. Having said that, this season as a whole has been one of the best of any series I've ever watched.
The "S'funny" part (above) is because just a few weeks ago I got hold of the original mini and S1 DVD's and started watching them again: if you can remember back that far the entire new series is opened up by a human delegate waiting in a space station for a pre-arranged annual meeting with a Cyclon delegate who hasn't shown for 40years...then the sound of a shuttle docking...then the steady clunking of Cyclon metallic feet approaching...the door whooshes open and in walks Number Six in a shocking red number flanked by two Cyclons...and following brief dialogue snogs the shit out of the human delegate...total hard on! The entire series has been awesome!
Anyway, been seeing offers of S3 in HD. Anyone seen them? Are they truly HD? Reason I ask is that I've seen complaints in more places than one that the shows are not available in HD. And, to be honest, the S1 DVD's aren't of very high quality. They're clear enough, but I'd say they were of lesser quality than a contempory movie release. (I'd guess they were upscaled from a lower quality source.)
