Yes, they actually posted it to their web site at noon today. Unfortunately, you can only see it if you live in America. Apparently because Sci-fi assumes that Europeans aren't smart enough to just get it off a bittorrent.

The sci-fi channel in the UK is the last place you go if you wish to watch science fiction. It is, however, the first place you go if you want to watch Flash Gordon.
It was going to be on Sky1 next Tuesday...but then Sky1 (who seem to have a personal grudge against BSG) decided that it would be funny to postpone it by another week.
I call upon all UK fans to ignore Sky1 and get the torrents instead.

Battle Star Galactica was mastered as a PSYOP on the American public to coincide with this fake war on terror and to encourage acceptance of war and the draconian policies of the Patriot act and the radical destruction of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
It also served as psychological conditioning to acclamate the public for accepting the need for torture.
The Cylons representing Al Quieda and as well existing within our midst to encourage the paranoia that was being heaped on the public conciousness.
None of any of which was true then, or now.

You are so full of **** it's unbelievable. BSG is full of anti-war messages, it has shown the bad sides of democracy but also the bad side of military dictatorships. The cylons can be linked to terrorism as they did use suicide bombers and whatnot, but they also represent (in a way) the Americans and the British when they occupied New Caprica, showing that the illegal occupation of a setllement, no matter how good the intentions are, seldom bodes well.
Stop your trolling.

The very first episode was a parody 911 and the timing was right on time.
The psychological brainwash was engineered to encourage the idea of a common cause in a great war.
The media and Hollywood have cooperated with these projects for decades.

On Battlestar Galactica Heroic Cylons Battle Vicious Terrorists
The Sci Fi Channel show is a moving and haunting allegory about why we should stay the course in Iraq. The heroes are a deeply religious race, called the Cylons, who struggle to bring democratic ideals and Christian values to a planet called New Caprica (Iraq, of course) in the face of an increasingly violent insurgency. In a clever and ironic twist the Christian Cylons (Americans) are actually very human-like machines, while the villainous "humans" on New Caprica (al Qaeda) are brutal terrorists who follow a primitive polytheistic religion and behave like animals.
Battlestar Galactica is not really about the future as much as it's a subversive analysis of current events. The terrorists are led by an unscrupulous man prone to violent rages named Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos), who not only has a name that is clearly meant to evoke ***** Bin Laden, he also bears something of a resemblance to ****** *******. He even has a lazy, playboy son like ****** had. The insurgency is headed up by the unhinged Col. Saul Tigh (Michael Hogan), who is locked up in a Guantanamo-like prison at the beginning of the episode recovering from some Cylon alternate interrogation procedures (apparently New Caprica is free of nit-picking Geneva Conventions).
As soon as Col. Tigh is free he goes right back to lead the insurgents and decides to up the ante by launching a depraved suicide bombing campaign. The first attack takes out a group of idealistic young police recruits, which, of course, directly parallels terrorist attacks against Iraqi security forces taking place today. If I have any criticism of the show it's that the New Capricans are so unsympathetic and vile in contrast to the peace-loving Cylons, who are clearly just trying to help them, that at times it seems like a simplistic battle between good (the Cylons) and evil (the New Capricans). A few more shades of gray might make the show more interesting.
For example, in one scene a terrorist named Starbuck responds to the hospitality of one kindly Cylon by viciously murdering him and then sitting down to calmly eat her dinner covered with his blood. (Luckily, unlike our soldiers in Iraq, the Cylons have the power to regenerate themselves so he's okay in the next scene.) Perhaps the most annoying of the New Capricans is a liberal apologist named Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) who justifies the suicide bombing by saying, "Desperate people use desperate measures." At one point she self-righteously accuses the suave and sophisticated President Gaius Baltar (James Callis) of torturing Col. Tigh, but he quickly puts her in her place by echoing George Bush: "We don't use torture." What the New Capricans don't seem to realize is that they only make things worse for themselves by resisting the Cylons' beneficence. If they stopped their futile insurgency, the Cylons would be able to repair the infrastructure and give them better places to live than tents.
All in all it looks like an impressive series. I was very surprised to see a pro-Iraq War, pro-Christian series.
Hopefully, a lot of people will see it and it will make them think about just what it is we are doing in Iraq.

Sephra is right the creators of BSG knew waaaaaayy back in the 70's that Bin Laden would be prime target today and created Adm. Adama hoping someone would pick up on it in the future

Well I'm a bit let down by the first episode, to be honest. I'm ok if it fails to answer questions as long as there is a solid plot, but not a lot really happened.

Let down? What are you, some kind of terrorist?
That space battle in the beginning. It made me jizz. I want you all to know that. That space battle... resulted in substantial liquid volume of manly pearl jam being deposited on the inside of my boxers. I spilled my seed, is what I mean to imply. I repeated the sin of Onan. I am now surely damned.
And the scene when Anders gets scanned by the raider, oh em eff gee OH EM EFF GEE.
Oh oh oh, and the part where that one colonial ship gets blown the **** up, and that other one gets crippled, oh god. OH! AND THE PART WHERE TIGH IMAGINES HIMSELF SHOOTING ADAMA IN THE BRAINPAN OH GOD.
oh god

Well I hate to say it but you'e looking for spoilers coming to a place like this if you haven't watched it. I don't mean to spoil but I might do it by accident.
Yeah the scene with Anders and the Cylon is pretty cool. And of course the effects and battles were, as always, amazing. I'm just saying the plot was a bit weak, even if it is just a TV episode. Oh yeah the part with Tigh's hallucination in the CIC was amazing too.
Edit: Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love this show and enjoyed the episode anyway.

I enjoyed the chapter. Not very mediatic buy cool anyway. New plot lines (the Baltar cult WTF?), a bit of spaceship dogfighting, cylons "activating" with internal ethic debates and Kara going nuts!!
Dudes, BSG is the new paradigm in TV/cinema sci-fi. It surpassed Star Wars and the others from the very beggining and I'm a Star Wars fan since a child, but BSG is so realistic, so dark, so mature! Please visit your user settings to re-enable images. Sig by Black Necris |
