And I haven't watched BSG since the first season. I followed the "new posts since last visit" link here. . . it's like going down the rabbit hole, it is!

I don't think that's an apt analogy. There's a clear differentiation between first/second and third chronicles forums; not everyone has read the third chronicles hence why we have those forums. In the same vein, not everyone lives in the US and has seen the latest season. Why should be simply be forced to avoid this thread until we see it? Easier to create a thread for each season.Cail wrote:Yeah, we get it, but he does make a good point. It's like going into the FR forum....You kinda have to expect spoilers.
However, spoilers have been used in this thread for ages. It's really not a big deal. *shrug*

I rented the disc, Season One Disc One, from Blockbuster. I didn't think to look at the official packaging and of course Blockbuster puts their DVDs in generic packaging with no description other than the title.
The disc does not list what is on it.
How does the mini-series begin? Does anyone recall the first scene? I can start the disc and compare what I see with how the mini-series starts, and go from there.
Thanks.

That's what I see...

...unless the first episode repeats that opening scene...
You know it does...dlbpharmd wrote:Hope that helps.
Thanks, dlb...
The mini is exceptionally good.

Ahhh, but "33" the first season opener is even better, IMO.
Hold tight, Menolly, you're in for quite a ride.

Yeah, "33" is awesome. It's somewhat uneven after that.
