This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

That was confirmed last night... "Returns in 2008".

I wonder if, based on the last 5 minutes, they're wrapping it up in the next 13 episodes.

***** SPOILER ALERT *******































Tigh, Tyrell, Sam, and the hot indian (cable) that works for the prez are either Cylons or really big fans of Jimmy Hendrix. (The music they've been hearing throughout the ship was "All Along the Watchtower".)

We saw another vision of the 5 unknown models... so if those are 4 of them... we're missing a 5th.

And Starbuck is back... she's been to Earth... and she brought a whole bunch of Cylon base ships with her.

It was a strange episode. 50 minutes of trial (Baltar is innocent), and 10 minutes of cliff hanger for season 4.

You could always bit-torrent it.....that's what I did with The Amazing Race after the basketball screwed it up....

End credits said, "Words and music by Bob Dylan; Vocals by Bt4; Adapted, arranged, and produced by Bear McCreary."

BTW, that's a heckuva cliffhanger for a ten-month wait....ten months!

Dylan wrote the song and a few others that have been covered by dozens of bands. I can think of at least 7 bands or artists that have done versions of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door."

Please don't. Hippy music sucks ass. Even the GNR version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a piece a shit. Dylan wrote it for a movie about cowboys and shit and it still sucks. If you get into the quasi-political, peace, love, and incense stuff you'll puke and I won't have you puing because of me.

Now, now, if you can watch "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" and, after 8 or beers and bong hits, not cry when "Knockin'" is playing while the sheriff slowly bleeds to death as his wife holds him, you are an insensitive clod. Great film, great song. Dylan plays the knife throwing theif, Kris Kristoferson plays Pat Garrett. Classic underground film.
Yeah, Dylan, what a putz. His music will NEVER influence anybody. If it's good enough for Hendrix,,,and Slash, it's good enough for me.

Plus, I'm too internet and computer illiterate to even know what "bit-torrent" is. Please someone enlighten me.

Aw, it's easy. You know bits, right? Well, bit torrent is when you have a torrent of bits.

He's pretty much right. :) It's a torrent of bits that come flying at you and you send flying at others in a somehow different means of file-sharing. And, for who knows what reason, for just about every show that airs, someone somewhere records it, digitizes it, and puts it out for sharing. Albums and movies and pay-per-views, too.

You neeed a bit torrent client (program) and a list of some websites that list available torrents to make it work. Like other P2P apps/methods, though, it's trackable. (A good friend of mine "secretly" works for the "secret" company that does the tracking for the RIAA and the movie and TV studios, and he tells me they deployed another 200 machines just last week. He recommends using newsgroups to be virtually untrackable, but that seems almost impossible to me...maybe I'll figure it out and make it go someday.)
