A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
He studied Islam and Buddhism, too, which I thought was cool.
You're all a bunch of weirdos.
Okay, maybe I can phrase that better. Studying religion was what we did in Religious Studies. It was a mandatory class in the English school I attended, and I know I got much of my Greek and Roman mythology by stealing books from my Jamaican schools.
When y'all separated church from state you did it weirdly.
Yeah, that's what I meant to say. The idea that I wouldn't have studied Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam before graduating school is counter to what I take for granted.
So, BSG DVDs - it's time.
I know from several posts here that there seem to be differing versions out there. Can someone summarize what's out there and what's the preferred release version for each season?
Well, I bought the mini-series - because it was on sale and then the season 1 dvds came out and they included the mini -- so don't buy the mini.
So far, it's season 1 and the first half of season 2. That's what I would recommend. I believe that some Best Buy's had the British season one dvd - but I don't think that there is any compelling reason to buy them.
Of course, some would recommend waiting 'til there is a full season 2 dvd set out there -- it's up to you.

Do we know for sure they're gonna do that?
No.
I'm definitely going to get the 2nd half dvd.
I think that the real worry is that instead of doing a 2nd half dvd for those of us who bought the first half -- is that there will be a full season dvd, but no 2nd half. So you wind up with the first half season twice.
I'm pretty much self-taught on Greco-Roman mythology. My library had a lot on it, for various age groups, so I've been reading up on it from around age 8 to today.

That would suck. I would go on the internets and complain.
I'm pretty sure they
have
talked about the season 2 - 2nd half DVD release....
Thanks all. I didn't catch the mini, and by the time the word was out how good the series proper was, I hadn't caught on by then, and didn't want to play catch up at that point. Looks like I'll have to now.
Isn't one of the episodes in the Season 2 part 1 extended from the broadcast version?

Yeah, but we don't get the longer version until the Season 2 part 2 DVDs come out (they didn't have time to do the final edit on the long version of that episode for the Season 2 part 1 DVDs, so we got the regular, broadcast version).
The episode is "Pegasus."
edit 'cuz my brain is not working....
You mean the Season 2 part 2 videos. And I thought that they had said that it wasn't happening. They being Ron Moore. . . but I don't recall where I heard or read that.
