D, lucky you! You have many more to watch for the first time. I know the beginning few eps of season 3, blew my mind. Let me know what you think when you get to them!

Howard, don’t remind that it’s the final season. *weeps*

I dont have much to add to what Felix said about it as im pretty much in agreement. I very much dug Razor as well as season 3. My scifi hatin’ ladyfriend even liked it. They are not calling season 4 “season 4.” They are advertising it as “The Final Season.”

Also, the advertising for mass effect (and the zune as well) seemed shockingly blunt and unimaginative. It couldnt have gone over much worse.

Anyway, i hope BSG’s final season incorporates the plot elements introduced in Razor. Much pontential.

‘By your command’–the best! Of course, I’m only just starting Season 2, but I grew up watching the original, and can’t wait for that line… =)

Oh man, it’s a thrilling moment because you feel it coming. You know it’s coming and then, boom. By your command. I got shivers. :)

Nice! I’m glad I’m not alone - I loved seeing the drama, I think for me that’s what set it apart from a lot of shows. It was about the relationships these people had with each other that happened to be set in this crazy future environment - as opposed to another shoot the bad guys as much as you can show. Not to take away from such a show, I likes the action, but this was just really well done I thought. Sigh. We’ll see what Season 4 brings - I’m really psyched.

Thanks for satisfying my geek cravings with your preview! I am beyond thrilled about Razor’s premier next Saturday (on The Space network in Canada). When I hear “at your command uttered” by a sliver and gleaming Cylon I will have reached the high heights of my happy place.

Also, I am with you on liking BSG season 3 - I think a lot of people thought there was too much focus on the drama within the surving colonies, and not enough Cylon conflict. Although I would have liked a bit more of this, I thought the dramatic tension was fantastic and I like where the story is going. I find it fascinating how the human colonies have had to evolve and adapt in the aftermath of their genocide, and we get great examples of how cataclysms like these bring out both the extreme best and worst in people.

Yeah, I figured it was probably a big one, given how much effort they were putting into promoting it, but it was the awfulness of that marketing that startled me. Really, it was that bad. It was a room full of folks who had stood in line for a couple hours to see a tv show… not a hostile audience for such a thing.. but they were laughing and booing. It was funny.

There’s a decent amount of gamers out there chompin’ at the bit for Mass Effect. As far as I can tell it seems to be a mashup between a very open-ended RPG and a FPS. Done by Bioware, the creator of the Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic RPG series so it should be pretty sweet.
