    too many

    Friggin commercials.
    they show 4 minutes then go away for 7 .
    These first 3 eps could have been condensed into 2 at the most.

    Hopefully they will add more content at ep 4.

    I wonder if there is a breakdown anywhere of minutes shown and minutes commerials.......that wasnt a clear sentence but you get the idea.

        Unless I'm mistaken that's what it has always been.

          Yep, it's always been about 42 minutes. The seemingly longer commercials come from the fact that the opening credits are practically nonexistant at just 8 seconds now, instead of the 1-minute opening of seasons past.

            It doesn't help that SciFi uses the same commercials repeatedly. Everyone apparently needs to see the trailers for SciFi's next disaster of the week, Cialis, and SciFi's attempts at humorous self promotion (most of which aren't funny).

            I find myself annoyed with the constant Atlantis and BSG trailers as well. In Atlantis's case, I will watch the episode anyway, so I don't need to see the same six pictures again and again, and countless images of the same episode will not make me like BSG. It just makes me more annoyed and less likely to tune in and watch the show.

                ALL television is riddled with commercials...just conduct a little test. Flip through 50 channels in a row and note how many are showing commercials right there for that instant

                The only way to watch the show is on DVD or after it has been recorded off of TV-I don't care if they have to load up on the commercials to pay for the show to keep it on the air...

                If you don't like it take the initiative and spend $100 on a Tivo recorder. You'll be commercial free and the show will still be on the air.

                  Or just spend $30 on a VCR and a couple of tapes. Bottom line, if you want to watch anything on TV outside of premium channels, you're gonna have to wait through a few commercials. It sucks but it also provides the networks with the requisite money those shows need to be produced.
