Got my own BSG marathon going on - been doing some heavy torrentin', although I think I'm still going to get the DVD, I just object to paying the prices they're charging for it right now. It's the same for the Crusade and Firefly sets, you're paying the same price for a 13-ep season as you are for a full season of various other shows. Stuff that.
Anyway, so far, I love it. Each episode represents a great way to spend 45 minutes, as opposed to the long-drawn-out chore that watching later Trek could be. I was even impressed with Richard Hatch's part on the show, I wasn't looking forward to it since the one other recent thing I've seen him in, he was a puffy badly-aged embarrassment.

Michelle Forbes is playing Cain this time around... I'm now wondering how many Trek veterans will pass through the BSG universe at this point.
I'm also wondering how extensive the modifications will be to the BSG sets to represent Pegasus... after all, the ship might be the very latest Battlestar version with a whole lot of high-tech additions that Galactica doesn't have.
I'm seeing way too many Trek tie-ins right now... I need sleep.

They're actually doing the Pegasus storyline? I hope they do a new wrinkle on the story, there has to be more to it than just psychotic-Commander-more-interested-in-taking-revenge-against-Cylons-than-protecting-remaining-humanity. Perhaps the whole ship is a Cylon Trojan Horse - an, if you will, Cylon Horse? It would be very interesting if the Peggie was a new-model Battlestar, with all the bells and whistles, and was welcomed by the fleet, leaving Adama & Co feeling a bit underappreciated.

Well, how much of season one have you seen at this point? Because the way the season ends suggests a few possible twists on the story.

If the Pegasus is the newest battlestar, and it was within range of the Twelve Colonies, it would surely be fried by now but the Cylon's handy EMP-thingy. But if it was outside of the range of the things than it would've avoided the slaughter...

Spoiler I read indicated that the BS-Pegasus was in dock at the base on Scorpion when the Cylons attacked. Pegasus took heavy damage before executing a blind FTL jump with no planned coordinates.
She's been wandering around ever since.

Pretty freaking massive coincidence that it just happens to run into the fleet. But then, the show's just full of those so far, ain't it?

I have slightly higher expectations of realism from this one.
Besides, that wasn't intended to be a complaint, just an observation. I think there's actually a huge plan behind the coincidences, and this might be part of that.

So basically all the coincidences are prophetic predestination? Just like how it was coincidental to blow up the USS Saratoga and kill Jennifer Sisko to bring good ole Ben to DS9...

Not necessarily. But I'd hate to spoil Lee.
