Yep. Had seasons 1 and 2 on DVD, and 2 DVRs with the season 3 episodes just sitting there waiting for me, plus Razor (might have to rent or buy the DVD for the extra footage/bits).

Despite the writers possibly going back to work tomorrow, there is still no indication that the final 10 episodes of the show won't be saved til the 2009 season.

I assume by that you mean you can't stand only getting one episode a week, rather than being able to breeze through a whole season on DVDs in two days? Welcome to our lot...

BSG is the one show that I simply can't wait to watch, and each week I can't wait for the next. In contrast, for instance, as Lost was broadcast here, I simply recorded episodes, was happy to leave it on the HDD for a while and only recently breezed through the final chunk of them in quick succession -- which in some respects is a good thing, otherwise you forget what's happened previously?

i don't require instant gratification. i wait until complete seasons are out... then enjoy it on my own time (typically straight through

'Caprica' pilot greenlit by Scifi Channel

they need to cancel ghost and scare shows and concentrate on beefing up SF instead of horror. the management seems to be confused horror and 'SF' quite a lot. yeah i know there's a lot of intersection but they don't get "IT". spend more money on series like BSG!

Ok have given this some serious thought, and I do like about 50% of what Sci-Fi does, problem is that NBC/Universal, actual has different networks to peddle their shows and some times we don’t get the right mix, USA, Sci-Fi & Chiller, what is the difference, well if you have direct TV Chiller is not part of the basic package, hence shows like ghost hunters, which belong on Chiller are shown on SF, ECW which belongs any place else is killing another time slot. Every Saturday night has some horrible B movie, and this coming from someone who loves classic 50 B movies, but sorry Rock Monster is not the Monolith Monsters. Then the other problem is what gets hyped, I know I will tick some off, but I don’t get the whole Stargate thing. A good mix of original programming along with classic series set to a normal schedule, would really help, that doesn’t meant Enterprise Mondays, that means like Twilight Zone, followed by Outer Limits, followed by Enterprise, followed by Original series, one night a week other than Saturday needs to be a movie, like Wednesday, because everybody else in America is probably watching Idol.

When they make the chiller Channel as part of the Basic package, then they can take most of the horror and move it to where it belongs, now for everyone else on here does fantasy belong on sci-fi as well. But I am hoping that they give RDM and company longer than a 2 hour movie for Caprica, Biggest beef with Sci-Fi, is that you have a one hour program that equates to roughly 43 minuets of screen time. Think the network needs to limit the commercial interruptions this season, and let it have the same running time as Star Trek TOS had, 52- 56 minuets a show, let them tell the story with out having to chop things down.

Unfortunately since less commercials mean less money, there's no way that's going to happen but I think a reasonable compromise would be that when the show runs long, let its time slot be 65 or 75 or 90 minutes instead of 60 minutes. That seems like a win win situation because the prodcuers wouldn't have to cut things down and the Sci-Fi Channel would have more ad time to sell during what must be their highest rated show.
