BSG Revisited

I just finished rewatching BSG, took it slow as I own all of the DVDs now. Watched it with commentary on; he (Ron Moore) has a couple of commentary in-jokes throughout the series, it's pretty entertaining. My favorite episodes are '33' (episode 1, season 1 after the mini-series) and the boxing episode from season 3: 'Unfinished Business.' Just amazing stuff. I was really happy taking my time through the series, I think the netflix--watch as fast as you can approach was a bit sub-optimal, and watching season 4.5 via scifi.com on my computer really stunk in retrospect -- image quality kinda meh, and I missed plot points. I liked the finale a ton more on DVD than I did watching it on the computer.

One tidbit from the commentary of the last episode: Mary McDonnell was cast because of her role in Donnie Darko. So DD comes through again!
