Title: Looks like SciFi is running a BSG marathon tomorrow

8am to 7pm eastern, starting with Fragged and ending with Epiphanies.

Set your TiVo's! (Except for you lucky bastards that have the DvD already.)

They're still on my Tivo from when they originally aired.  I haven't made them into DVD's quite yet.  Just finished watching the episode where Lee was given command of the Pegasus...yeah baby!

I don't have Tivo.  I went the old school way of dishing out two VHSs, and programmed for the first six hours the BSG marathon 'cause I'm no morning person.  I just finished the first run and just popped in the second VHS for the last five (or so) hours...

The much-better-than-the-original remake.

Yeah
I didn't really weigh in on the original vs remake debate as I didn't really watch the original.
Space here in Canada has started showing the original series so I've caught a few..

What the heck is the appeal?

the original was fun back in the late 70s...the new BSG rocks though sometimes I find it too graphic.

It's not a show I'd let my nephew and niece watch (8 and 6).  For me though, it's the best show on television.  Don't forget the 10 webisodes that are being broadcast on the net every Tuesday and Thursday until the new season starts in October (8 days away).

BTW, has anyone noticed something about this?  Sci-Fi usually shows their original and/or best series during the off-season from broadcast television.  For instant, the Stargates have always started in the summer, gone into Hiatus during September, and then come back with new Episodes in January.  Sci-fi has always stayed out of the November sweeps rat race.  Now they're hitting November with a line-up of new episodes for BSG and for Dr. Who (okay, Who is new to the US, not new to the world as far as the new season goes).  It's a nice change...
