Sky One Recap of season 3 so far..

JLemmon

Hi

Just in the middle of season 2 on dvd boxset
saw an ad last nite on sky saying they are doing a catch up weekend
this weekend on 24, lost and BSG
Anyone know how many eps of season 3 sky have shown so far
and when are the catch up eps on?
If it's sat or sun afternoon I'll wait till dvd cos it will be seriously edited
Just thought it might be an idea to tape all the season 3 eps so I can catch up with where sky are at the mo

Thanks

i thikn theyve did about 10 episodes of bsg on there so far..im not exactly sure as im not counting but i think they are on around episode 10-12 somewere around there..

I've seen 13 episodes on sky from season 3 so far (edit: just confirmed this), so the 14th would air tonight methinks.

Edit: Season 3 isn't as good as S2 or S1, but it's still excellent IMO. I'd wait for DVD (or blu-ray or whatever) if I were you.

I'd advise you to tape them (or if you have Sky+ use that), purely because after watching the season 2 finale you won't want to wait till August when the season 3 DVDs come out (I know thats the way I feel after the season 3 finale, and the season 2 finale is even more shocking).

And Khannie is right, S3 isn't as good as season 1 or 2, purely because of the sheer amount of filler episodes (about half the season).However it is still excellent, especially the first 5 episodes and the last 3 (there a few great episodes in the middle too, ie:episodes 11, 12 and 13).

Also the last 5 minutes of the finale are just fantastic.I've watched it 7 times since last Monday.And that version of ''All Along The Watchtower'' is kickass, and is easily the best i've ever heard.

I think the first half of season three contains some of the best episodes in the entire series so far.. but yeah, the amount of filler that comes afterwards really sours the memory.

Would have made a killer 13 episode season.

people-im in a similer sit to the OP, i just bought season 2 on dvd, will proberly watch in one go when i get them[GO MIDTERM!] and so was considering taping these.....but i checked the sky epg and the eps are just the last 4 sky 1 have shown
i think i read on wikipedia about sky 1 not showing anymore on virgin media in uk due to dispute between virgin and sky, and sky will be offering a catch up weekend soon for all the eps of lost and 24 viewers have missed
since this cathup weekend also airs last 4 eps of lost and 24[i checked] then my theroy is correct

Agreed.Thats why I was so happy when I heard Season 4 was only going to be 14 episodes......and why I was so annoyed when it turned out it was going to be 22.Not even 20 like season 3, but 22!Madness!

Thanks All
Yeah checked this up and found they are only showing from eps 6-10 or something like that not from start of season 3, I believe from guys here in work the season 3 cliffhanger is classic, looking forward.
Yeah as with lost filler eps can kill teh momentum of a series 12-13 ep seasons would be better.

Huh.Now that i actually check, season 3 had less filler episodes than I thought, although it still has the most of any season so far (season 3 had 6, season 3 had 4 and season 1 had only 1, although that was the worst episode of Galactica thus far).I had forgotten bout the 2 episodes where they dealt with the disease that killed the cylons.So it was actually only a third of the season that was filler and not a half.......Oh well.Doesn't really make a difference I guess, but thought i'd mention it anyways.

Season 4 is actually only 20 episodes - the other 2 is the Pegasus mini-series that'll be airing near the end of 2007.
