Okay, so other than ER my fave is Battlestar Galactica. And season 4.5 is not disappointing! Although the final cylon rally has my interest piqued. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I'm interested in hearing them...
 
Yes, but DH and I have got hooked on House, and are slowly working through a ton of episodes on the DVR... Eventually we'll get to BG! Don't spoil anything :).
 
I tried to watch it when it first came out but feel...like with most of the remakes...that they just ruined the original show. Maybe if I watched several episodes I could get into it, but I think I will stick with CSI and House.
 
I did a lot of catching up on DVD and then pertty much just read recaps for this past season.

I dimly remember the original, and I like this one better, although I would not allow DS to watch it. There's too much violence and other inappropriate activity for a 12 year old boy.

So, I can't comment in detail right now. I watched the first new episode last week and was really bummed that Dee shot herself. But, I forgot if she's a Cylon or not. If she is she won't be recycled, or did they schlep a resurrection ship also?

So confused but looking forward to how things go and how it all turns out.

Dee is not a cylon and the resurrection ship is gone so all the cylons are jsut as destructible as the humans. Do you remember who the four are from last season?
 
Oh right...

Tigh, Sam, Tory, Chief. And now Tigh thinks Ellen is the 5th.

Sorry and thanks for the catch - up! It's recording right now on my DVR and I can't watch it bec DS is here :-(
 
SUSAN ~ You need to put SPOILER ALERTS on your emails!
 
Sorry Rich - that was from last season :-( I will be more careful in the future.
