I watched everything Stargate, which is probably my favourite, I like the old (& new) Star Trek, Warehouse 13 etc, but didn't really get into BSG for some reason?!! :ka:
Did you watch BSG on TV or DVD? DVD is best, no ads, and you stay inside the plot. Get box set and remove all other persons from the house for the weeked. Also Domino's, or other local takeaway on speed dial. :thumbup:
I will admit that BSG plot dips a bit in the middle, i seem to remember there was a screen writers strike Hollywood wide at the time. If you like warehouse13, try Fringe. :D

Nope, it was on tv, but I missed quite a lot of the start so didn't really know what was happening?!! Same with Fringe...........caught some of it but then lost the story so stopped watching it!!

I'll see if anyone has the boxset, then I'll give it another go perhaps??

Well, currently I'm lying in a four-poster in a very nice hotel after a few spa treatments and a nice din-din courtesy of Poppydoodlesmum. Strangely I feel this was more a gift to herself than for me?!

Got some good prezzies from the students mind you, including a bottle of 12 year old malt!! Honestly, you can't beat a first class education.

Aside from that, a nice hat from the brother-in-law, some socks (obviously), a very nice Hagstrom guitar (still waiting for Poppydoodlesmum to chip in her half!), assorted bits of tat from the mother-in-law (some useful, some destined for the 'bay, some straight to the bin - do not pass go) and a watch - Seiko SKX007 - which I bought myself because Santa is a mean old ****!
