BSG (N) Section

I was just wondering were you guys go the season 1 episode titles.

Also, where on DVD can you buy the miniseries? Region 2 has it (illegally), but not Region 1. Even Amazon.com isn't selling the DVD.

Just wondering about those two things.

Also, where on DVD can you buy the miniseries? Region 2 has it (illegally)

Why did you tack on that 'illegally'? I've seen it here in Iceland in one of the major DVD retail stores. I know that they never carry any unauthorized versions of DVDs. It is also for sale on Play.com and they too have never offered anything except legit DVDs. So where the heck is that 'illegal' bit coming from?

[DownFallAngel]

How about since SciFi hasn't released it on DVD. They have released all the other miniseries, TAKEN, Children of DUNE, and Firestarter: Rekindled, but not BSG (N).

I've seen it for sale on the internet, for region 2 areas, australia and such, and if the US doesn't have it, its illegal. I'm only saying that, cause SciFi is US based, and they haven't released it here, why would they release it over there, and not worldwide?

[ibwolf]

I'm trying to decide if your joking (tounge in cheek) or if you are actually serious... Alright I'll assume the later.

First: There is no way in HELL that the R2 release is anything other then legit.
Second: The reason why it's been released in R2 and not R1 is most likely due to rights issue in the USA. There is NOTHING stopping the owners of BSG (be it SciFi or some production company) from approving DVD releases in R2 long before they are released in R1. For example Stargate is released on DVD in R2 well before it is released in R1.

...if the US doesn't have it, its illegal.

Oooh, the temptation to say something sarky!

No, seriously though, it's legit. In Iceland, the UK, anywhere R2. It's pretty common for US shows to go: US TV, UK TV, R2 DVD, Syndication, US DVD.

[DownFallAngel]

How does that circle even work?

Should go US TV-->US DVD (Region 1)-->yada yada yada

[ibwolf]

The "Circle" is whatever happens to work for that particular piece of work. There is no set framework. Because the 'repeat' market outside america is generally much smaller and less significant, it is usually possible to release TV shows on DVD as soon as they've been aired once. In the US that is rarely the case.

As for the BSG mini series TVShowsOnDvd.com has a news report today stating that it will be out on Dec. 28th. in R1 http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=2233

[DownFallAngel]

Yea, DVDANSWERS.com just reported that it was going to be out 28th.

The artwork and what not will probably be coming in this week aswell.

As far as I know, SCI FI doesn't own BSG. Universal owns it, and can release DVDs when and where they please.

Episode titles in GateWorld's episode guide are collected from a variety of sources. The fan site http://www.galactica2003.net/ is a great one for the new series. Their episode guide is hard to find, though:

There is some confusion as to at least one title, as between the two sites we've somehow gotten 14 episode titles for a 13-episode series!

and if the US doesn't have it, its illegal.

Dear oh dear Oh! Dear!

Arogant much ?

i`ve got a lovery OFFICAL r2 copy of the mini series and by your [cough] arguement does that mean that since us in the UK are getting the series 3 months earlier than u yanks (starts showing 18/10 incidently on sky1) does that mean its been shown illegally?


The world does NOT revolve around the yanks as much as you`d like to believe

1. Thanks Darren for the response appreciated.

2. Water and 33 are the same episode. I read the spoilers and rumors for water, aka 1.01, and its the same thing.

Just Watched 1st episode in the new series, not to bad at all - VERY bleak and VERY depressing tho

[DownFallAngel]

I don't know how to say this....ITS A FREAKING GALACTICA CIVIL WAR! The humans are being hunted into extintion. Of course its going to be despressing! It has to be, inorder to capture the mood and feelings of being hunted by a massive enemy that doesn't die, that doesn't quit, that doesn't feel emotion.
