Firstly, It's now aired after doctor who. It's a funny show, but not exactly great television.

Then they air BSG twice in a row. It splits the BSG viewership between the two hours it's broadcast for.

SciFi have basically just screwed up SciFi Fridayand it's hitting the ratings.

seems like they are.

I'm guilty of downloading the last two episodes instead of really watching them on TV. I just couldn't stand the retarded comercials anymore... not to mention that the show just flows so much more nicely with those annoying things edited out.

That being said... it was being watched elsewhere in the apartment when it aired. For both blocks. I honestly don't understand where they're coming up with the rating. And I wonder if they take into account things like people buying the show from itunes...

RCgothic · « **Reply #104 on:** October 26, 2006, 04:21:37 AM »

no, Nielsen ratings are purely who watches it on TV. They're effectively a tool for advertisers. The more people watch TV, the more people are exposed to adverts, the more the advertisers pay. iTunes doesn't count cos it doesn't include adverts (I think). It does however provide funding to the studio.

I'll admit to downloading the last 24 episodes. I live in the UK, Don't have a choice. But having downloaded all of Season 2 I then went out and bought the entire season on DVD. I will do exactly the same for season 3 once the DVD comes out.

A quick question, how big are episodes downloaded from iTunes (both disk size and resolution)?

Mark · « **Reply #106 on:** October 26, 2006, 12:59:38 PM »

So iPod format.

Hmm... Pity, that's not really worth looking.

[EDIT] Without an iPod that is.

Well I think it is , because if you miss an episode , it could be a while before you see it. So while it might not be all that great in the resolution part you still get to see what happened.

Anyway, contrary to all the alarm. BSG is not being canceled because of ratings. I have said this before, and I know it will fall on deaf eqars, or be written off as lies that the studio is telling us, so they don't hurt our feelings (yeah, that's how Hollywood works @@). Here is what we are hearing. BSG is SciFi's flagship show, they think it is the best season so far. The ratings in key demographics are actually better or holding. There are a lot of reasons why the network thinks that the ratings aren't great. None of them are related to the quality of the show, or it's subject matter. No one is asking Ron to change direction. They like the direction.
Did anyone see the NYTimes today? Another articale about BSG. NETWORKS LIKE THAT KIND OF PRESS !!!!!!! It makes them attractive to other talent, shows like BSG draw respected writers and producers to SCIFI. That counts for a LOT !!!!!!! It is good for a network or a studio to have this kind of critical acclaim. They do not make Osacar contenders because they make money. SAW III made more than Clint's film, it will continue to make more. Studios like Oscars, they like to make respectable prestigious material, as long as they can also make moneymakers.
IT IS THE WAY THE INDUSTRY WORKS.
Will BSG be canceled at some point? YES Might the ratings be a factor at some point? YES
But none of that is happening now. Everyone needs to calm down.
You guys are the only ones who are in a frenzy about cancellation. Ron is not. The studio is not. The network is not. The only rumors about cancellation are on these message boards.
I KNOW, I will be discounted and ignored, but I just love wasting breath.
Glad to be back.

I assume this is true, *hopes for the best*

I haven't missed an episode yet.

They have only broadcasted season 1 here.

Shinzon · « **Reply #111 on:** October 28, 2006, 09:07:19 AM »

so anyone watch it?

MickJo · « **Reply #112 on:** October 28, 2006, 05:06:14 PM »

Pretty good ep, as dark and grim as ever, the only really light-hearted moment was the Bill/Lee loosing weight scene. The Galactica looks like she's had better days as well. JAMMER... NO....!

Shinzon · « **Reply #113 on:** October 28, 2006, 05:24:46 PM »

yup saw the episode today, galactica was really beaten up..

o and we got to see the 2nd resurrection ship.

and good that they kept gaeta.

MickJo · « **Reply #114 on:** October 29, 2006, 07:56:55 AM »

Nah, loose Gaeta and give Helo his position.

Shinzon · « **Reply #115 on:** October 29, 2006, 08:37:12 AM »

i just hope he cuts his hair.

Weasel · « **Reply #116 on:** October 29, 2006, 10:10:28 AM »

Fuckin-A. Curls on men, is absolutely abhorent. High-and-tight that mess, motherfucker.

RCgothic · « **Reply #117 on:** October 29, 2006, 11:23:58 AM »

One of Galactica's Dorsal main armaments has been destroyed, and a second so heavily damaged it can't possibly be operational. Galactia is in serious trouble.

Weasel · « **Reply #118 on:** October 29, 2006, 01:33:39 PM »

Ah, but one must remember, it's just TV- and there's always Voyager's Batmobile armor, and endless supply of torpedos...

I'm just saying....

Clearly, they are in a tough position. Galactica's crew will have to play smart, as opposed to playing hard.

Phaser · « **Reply #119 on:** October 29, 2006, 01:55:11 PM »

Another great episode, as usual! To sum it up in one statement:

"OMG TEH DRAMA!!111"[/b][/i]

lol

Anyway, Galactica's damage looks awesome! I didn't notice that destroyed the gun turret, RCgothic; I'll have to take a look at that.
