Battlestar Galactica Season3?

Anyone know when the 3rd season of BG is set to start?

October, I believe.

Yep, it's in the fall. They wanted to run it without a huge hiatus between mid season.

It also allows them to synch up US and UK showings, I'd read, which will mean less filesharing and therefore more ad eyeballs.

There was also talk that NBC, Sci-Fi's parent company, might air the show on regular network TV at the same time as well (like they tried with Monk in it's second season).

If they air it in HD then the NBC airings would be king for me and I'd be willing to wait a bit for it. The show is shot in HD and should be broadcast that way. As it stands now, we have to wait at least a 1/2 year to see it in the best quality possible after the intial airing on SFC (be it on DVD or the Universal HD channel).

It really cheeses me off that such an excellent show is fuzzy on my TV when I get 90% of my other programming in HD. I won't say more than this but the SFC should broadcast everthing they can in HD. Geeks + HD = Better ratings. I know I'm not the only person who will watch something in a genre I like just because it's in HD.

Same goes for Rescue Me & FX. * grrrr *

The fall start for S3 works for me. I hope to avoid the Farscape plan of watching the show a 1/2 season at a time. Every mid-season plot was essentially a cliffhanger and a 6 month wait after only 10 or so eps. If BSG can pump out a whole season without more than a 6 week wait somewhere in there, that is great.

Okay, as stated, would be back in the fall.

It will resume the two split showing of the season, 10 weeks this year, and 10 weeks next year.

It will not show on NBC, cause, it will be watered down, on the content, now touched ( & shown) on Cable.

Get ready for more hurt and pain.

Tell your love one(s),*girlfriend, wife, potential lover...farewell for now* When it starts.

That will be all.

So say we all.
