Hey - couldn't find a thread for this top class show.

Anyone been following this? Thoughts on the season 3 finale?

Now we know four of the "final five", who could be the fifth one? What the hell happened with Starbuck - one minute blowing up, being led by some vision, next she's back, been to Earth, and is some guru?

Excellent ending I thought - every season finale has been a superb cliffhanger. I'm hoping we get similar treatment to Lost and get put on a par with the US schedule, or near to it. Don't want to have to wait too long for the next series!

Never seen it man, not really into sci-fi :( Any good?

Ah, don't be put off by the "sci fi" tag - some would call Lost sci fi!

Well worth a look - the stories are excellent, it has really good drama in it, has a very political edge, it's dark and moody and gritty and totally brilliant! :cool:

Sci fi is often just a medium for telling stories about the human condition but in a different setting, or from a different angle. Plus you get spaceships ;) :D

If you see any repeats check it out - there's a movie length two parter for the start of season 1, then seasons 1, 2, and 3. I'm sure it'll get repeated at some point over the summer now that it's on a break before season 4.

Here's a link to a youtube clip from Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe that has a clip from it, plus is just generally quite funny!

And whilst browsing youtube I also found this geekily excellent video / song about the differences between the old (cheesy awful) show and the new one;

Apologies for the youtube frenzy but found some more excellent clips / trailers; the last one from S3 is superb.
