BSG

[escritoireazul]

Okay, so, if you have someone who knows nothing about BSG or anything it might or might not be related to, show-wise, I mean absolutely nothing known at all, what would you tell them to interest them in the show? And, once their interest was caught, what advice would you give them about it? Is there background this person should know? Something beyond the episodes themselves the person should watch? How many seasons exist?

Theoretically, this person could be going to check and see if BSG is available from Netflix right about now. Theoretically.

what would you tell them to interest them in the show?
what would happen if the world was destroyed by the robots humans created? and um, i would say how it's like firefly/star trek/and all other cool scifi shows put together.
what advice would you give them about it?
give it a chance. there is a lot of character development in the first few episodes that's kinda boring, but it's really worth it in the end.
Is there background this person should know?
watch the mini series before anything else. it will explain everything.
How many seasons exist?
2 and the miniseries. but only the first half of season 2 is out right now.

netflix has it. that's how i started watching. though what sucks is the last disc of season one only has one episode, so it's kind of a hassle to rent just one episode you know?
anyway, i hope you this person likes it. it's a terrific show.

This description of it, and things other people have said, reminds me a lot of Cleopatra 2525, which I loved despite the cheesiness of it, so I get more and more excited about BSG.

Thanks for the warning, I'll go ahead and push through the first few episodes even if I think they're a little slow. I have the miniseries and the first disc coming for this weekend, so that should be wonderful.

Yeah, I saw that in Netflix, and for some reason my queue has them number disc 1, disc 2, disc 3 and then disc 5, which makes no sense to me because I couldn't seem to find a disc 4--weird.
