I can't sit still, and all I'm doing is watching the clock. It's BSG Season Premiere Day! If the net nanny at work allowed videos, I'd be watching online.
It feels like Christmas!
edit: Evidently, I can't type either.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Pfft, Dana. It's Kara Thrace and her Special Destiny, and Lee Adama in a suit, and four frakking people who never dreamed they were Cylons. What does Torchwood and Doctor Who have on that?
t thinks about Captain Jack and Ianto, plus the good doc
Umm, never mind. I think my TV's gonna melt tonight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'll have to go fetch my eyes from wherever they rolled out of my head after the last BSG finale. I don't suppose there's any point in wishing for less portentousness. It's an attribute.

Oh, come on, you don't like being hit over the head with an anvil?
Did you think the finale was bad, or just portentous? (And I'm not sure which meaning of portentous you're going for: the ominous foreshadowing definition or the puffed up with vanity one?)
The repetition of "Kara Thrace has a special destiny" by everyone and their Cylons was old after the first five minutes, but I thought the second half of the season made up for a shaky first.

Let's go with both. To be honest I can't break down the season enough to tell you my feelings about one half or another--once I've had a chance to read synopses I might have a go.
The finale itself was like a big old timpani and I don't have the English to express my OMGWTFBBQ? at the Dylan thing.

Art Crawl!!!
Also, it appears that they are going to stream new eps at Noon eastern every Friday.

I'm basing my opinion off of one viewing of the entirety, as it aired. I've caught individual episodes in repeats, but I haven't gotten to my S3 DVDs for a complete rewatch yet. For me, it felt like there was more forward movement in the second half, as long as you avoided the endless lobbing of Special Destiny Molotov cocktails.

Yeah, I got nothin'. Deus ex Machina, and I don't think this one can be explained away.
EVERY Friday? Oh God, the spoiler landmines.
What P-C said. I haven't decided whether or not to be a spoiler whore this season.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't imagine they're going to stream new eps before they air on TV - I think the streamed eps will be available the Friday *after* they're broadcast. (The premiere isn't available right now, for example. Unless I'm completely blind in which case LINKLINKLINKLINKLINK.)
But at some point we might need to have a discussion regarding whether official streaming counts as broadcast. To me, if SciFi puts the entire episode out there for public consumption, the contents of that ep are no longer spoilers.
