H/t Meagan.  B&C is being released as a web series, with episodes one and two dropping on Friday, Nov. 9th.  Hopefully it won't be like H+ where they release twenty three-minute episodes over ten weeks. ;)

40 one minute eps over 20 weeks would be MUCH better.

I really can't wait. I love the world of BSG.  :squee:

I don't know if anyone else watched Caprica and liked it but I thought is was great. And the BSG music is some of my all-time favorite.

So I started watching the first eppy and was getting really into it when I got the notification that I'd already used 90% of my data!! *cries*

We haven't had cable or internet for so long now that we've gotten used to it and have been dragging our feet getting it setup again...

But I swear... My husband is getting it setup as we speak, 'cause nothing gets between me and my BSG.

:headbang:

Charter's data limit for my plan is 500GB. The way it has been explained to me, if you go over two months in a row they send you a letter and tell you to slow down. Get two letters twice in a row in any six month period and they can cut your service off.

I've rarely used less than a terabyte a month and frequently hit 2 or more terabytes.

I think Verizon would require our first born for that much data...

First episode was pretty good .
One main gripe ( and it applies to all space shows ) those ships are too close together .

Good, but too short.

B&C seems to be going in the opposite way of H+ in that they've combined episodes 3 and 4 into a single one.  Haven't watched it yet myself, but getting ready to do so.  Also, MachinimaPrime says in the comments:



Hey everyone, executive producer David Eick will be joining us on the comments at 1pm Pacific, 4pm Eastern, answering your questions! So make them good, godsdammit.

10-15 minutes is perfect for this kind of stuff. I never could watch the mini-webisodes that were like 2 minutes long. WTF?

And I feel the dumbness, but I never associated Adama's Husker call sign with Caprica.

I had read that the intention was to make it like serials of yore, such as Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers:  Short and end with a cliffhanger.

So a friend of mine who was a huge fan of BSG ( old and new ) until the last half hour of the finale ( he swore to never watch BSG or any R Moore series ever again ) saw ep1 and is now frothing at its awesomeness .


He's even decided to break out the series and watch it again .....

Eep.  The Thanksgiving Holiday threw me off my game here. 
I haven't yet watched these, but since Pearl hasn't seen any of them maybe we'll sit down tonight and do so.  Should be around seventy-eighty minutes or so of entertainment?

Here's the full series so far:
