idea for a Battlestar Galactica spinoff

So the series ends after Season 4, right? Is that the deal?

I think they ought to consider what might happen after BSG ends. Like maybe they could have them arrive on Earth and try to assimilate to our wacky Earth ways and have a spin-off sitcom where Lee and Starbuck platonically move into an apartment next door to a bunch of kooky friends, and they have obvious chemistry but don't hook up until the third season, and all sorts of zany fish-out-of-water craziness happens, like when they have to fly on a regular airplane for the first time, or when they’re convinced one of their neighbors is a cylon when they’re really just Canadian, and they all decide to open a pizza place called Galactica Pizzeria, and of course the cylons really do find their way to Earth and open up a rival pizza place across the street, and hilarity ensues.

I have seen the first three episodes of season one and I just don't see the big deal.

Then I guess nothing I say here's gonna change your mind. It happened to come out when the new Star Wars trilogy was confirming its legacy as the worst idea ever, so BSG was goddamn amazing in comparison. And I think it's really become "the new hope" for sci-fi fans. Haha.

I just love it to death.

Debating 12th Cylon identity is one of my favorite pastimes. Everyone has a theory-- what's yours?

It's Bob Dylan. You always knew there was something...OFF about him. I swear it's him.

That's the most awesome theory I've heard yet. :)

Maybe watch the whole 1st season. I don't generally like sci-fi, and I scoffed when Dave started watching it. But somewhere in the first season, I got hooked by what always hooks me, great writing and character development. Then I was clawing at the mailman, desperate for the next episodes on netflicks.
