Battlestar Galactica - finally
I wonder if it may ignite a desire to get the game though... Played it once a few years back and thought it was okay.
Any shows you're only now getting around to?

The game actually made me less interested in seeing the show because the photo's look so silly. I love the game though, I just don't like the photo's all that much. I think I'll give the show another chance. I did enjoy it I just have to get over the no humour thing.
As for catching old shows this year I've watched... for the first time ever both Futurama and Buffy. I don't know why I waited so long as they are both excellent shows and I enjoyed them immensely. In fact I watched all of Wheddon's show backwards this year (except Firefly which I've always loved). Dollhouse, Angel, and Buffy and I liked them best in that order too. Buffy, although the weakest for me was still great fun. Nothing beats Firefly though.

After putting my bike away for the season, I got back on the elliptical and needed something to watch (it's usually concert dvds), so I picked it back up. Fun, if uneven and you need to suspend disbelief for some things (notably that everywhere in LA is a short 10-20 minute ride away from anywhere else).
I watched season one, or at least most of it. It was great fun at first, but eventually I lost interest towards the end of the first season. That would have been hilarious if Jack had spent two consecutive entire episodes stuck in a rush hour traffic jam.

There's this episode where the security people arrive at the Bauer house literally a couple of minutes after the alarm was activated. They didn't even switch scenes, I couldn't believe it. DVD mark was 3 minutes after the start of the episode. So much for real time.

It was a little too serious, I started wondering in the third or so episode if they had invented humour yet or if this society was going to come up with that idea at some later point.
I almost really liked BSG. At first I thought it was great; big space battles, traitors, moral dilemmas, and all that good stuff. But they never really got around to developing humour. For a while it's like Emo Galactica because there's almost no space combat and everybody mopes around. Towards the middle-end of the series it got to soap-opera-y for me; mopey moral dilemmas, love stories, depression, overly dramatic emotional developments, more religion, and all that crappy stuff. Naturally my wife likes the middle-end best, and I like the first episodes best. Overall it tells a good story and I've been tempted to watch the whole series again, but since I know how things turn out I feel like I'll be even less interested in the emotional-drama-of-the-week episodes.
It's a good series, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Yet there's a reason the board game revolves around hidden motives and space battles and not love interests and and emotional baggage.

BSG is great when its hunt for the red october / crimson tide in space, but when it turns quasi religious soap opera it suffers. 1st season is mostly good though, and 2nd has good episodes. Its very hit and miss after that. Luckily they write it in often 3 or 4 episode arcs, and some of the later arcs and pretty good, even if some are terrible.
