Sci-fi nerds lament!
Battlestar Galactica won't be back until late next fall, and Doctor Who just went into reruns.

If it weren't for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, I'd have to slit my wrists!

1. but, we can watch 100 episodes of Stargate if we so choose
or at least it seems like it.

And, we get the joy of watching "SS Doomtrooper" now on Sci-Fi. Don't kid yourself - it don't get any better than that. :argh:

3. I *want* to get into SG1 and SGAtlantis. I really do.
But try as I might, for some reason I can't. It probably has to do with my generally low level of interest in television. It's a testament to the quality of Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex that I actually make time in my schedule to watch them.

4. Nah, I'll wait for them to be broadcast.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. I'll just whine on the occasional message board rather than download them illegally or actually pay to watch them.

7. Just a thought about torrents
Broadcasters who you think you are stealing from when you dl are the ones who are selling your eyeballs to advertisers. *You* are the product being sold in the traditional US TV exchange. I'm not nagging you to hightail it over to a torrent site, but I think there's another legit way to look at the traditional TV transaction.

8. Good luck.
BBC is issuing C&D's all over the place right now.

I've downloaded a few, sent a link to a friend and they've reached a page w/ a C&D issuance from the BBC.
