Any fans out there? I know your out there. What do you think of Season 3 so far?

<-- This has been my avatar since I joined the board, so that right there tells you how much I adore the show!!! The two-parter with the basestar (don't why they've been calling them baseships all of a sudden, but it's bothering the frak out of me!) was kinda...off-kilter lol. But I otherwise have enjoyed this season very much. The Adama Tactic was the best battle maneuver in the history of ANY universe, and all the social and moral dilemmas and especially all the skeletons dug up last episode make for great television! Very Happy

I am still amazed at how they use another universe and a different human "race" to show the weaknesses of us at the moment. I love how it makes you feel uncomfortable, that is great television. The recent episode "Unfinished Business" (not sure on the title) showed Adama as such a strong leader. That tactic you talk about JJAFARGI was an awesome move. I kept busy during the summer wondering how he would use his resources to save all those people. That free fall, and then Jump was a sign of genius. Anyone listen to the Alan Light podcast? Just wondering.

Hahaha, I thought you had an affiliation with him at first due to the name of your podcast.

Don't get me wrong: I know this is a Heroes board, and I LOVE Heroes or I wouldn't be here. But I have been a Battlestar fan for much longer than I have been a Heroes fan, and to me nothing else compares. Initially I had doubts about
Edward James Olmos as Adama, but he has given the role new life. The dude from Bonanza who was Adama in the original does not compare. EJO is a total badass. He was even badass after the Chief mopped the floor with him. lol

I actually have never seen the original series, so I can't compare the new with the past. Was it any good? Alan Light keeps refering to it.

NONAMER, if you could try to get your hands on the first season. Is there a BSG forum to the caliber of superhiro.org? I'd like to discuss BSG with many more fans.

Thanks for going through the trouble JJAFARGI, I appreciate it. And I know what you mean, I have two shows I participate in forums with, and it's tough keeping up. I'll probably be Away for awhile because finals are starting. Again thanks for the help.

I too love BSG. But probably, unlike some, I am ancient enough that to have seen the Original series. In fact, before the Galactica 80 abomination came out, a friend and I were creative enough that we created our own scenario of how Galactica finds Earth.

As for this iteration, I like the moral dillemas and ambiguities (sort of like in "Heroes"), as long as "Humanity" wins out in the end. (However, you define that "humanity" -- because, in Star Trek, Kirk, said that Spock was the most "human" so we don't have to limit by race, creed, color, etc., etc., etc.).

So BSG has a lot of appeal, and yet, Heroes has been the first show able to draw me out to talk on a forum. That should tell you something about its quality!
