Has anyone ordered Season 2.0

quad_red

off the net?

If so, where? Looking around trying to find someplace with a good price, reliable, decent delivery rates and time.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Delivery time of 6-8 weeks is slightly off putting

cheaper but still, worried about customs.

Be careful, the amazon disc set is only volume 1, might be availabe in 2 volumes ala Lost etc.

yeah, this is the first half of the series, really getting sick of this '2 volume dvd' for each series...it's a real gip.

I know. Season 2.0 (with 2.5 to follow).

But I'm working my way through season 1 and I've heard it ends on a muchos cliff hanger so I want season 2 waiting....

Khannie

It might end on a cliffhanger alright.

You're not far behind me. I'm still doing one episode per week to drag it out 'til season 3 comes out, though this is very difficult to do. I might start dragging up the per-episode threads for discussion if we hit the same point at any stage.

Anyone know when this will be hitting Irish shores?

Well, I'm gonna be nerding it up this weekend so I should have it finished (and then be suitably 'cliff hangered' to want to rant!

Just finished watching season 1 the other day. anxiously waiting for season 2 now. Argh! need my fix!

I wouldn't recomemend DVDsoon at all... I've had problems with them in the past.

http://www.dvdpacific.com/ are usually pretty good.. although their site seems to be down at the moment.

Khannie

I got my original bsg series off an australian site (search this forum for posts by me) and it was region 4 + 2 and pretty reasonable.

Quad and chalky: how would you feel about synching up and making our own thread for discussion? My plan was to watch season 2 one episode per week so that I wouldn't have a big gap before season 3 kicks off. I'm going to be watching Season 2, episode 5 next week, but I could hold off if you lads were interested in that idea.

jasus Khannie, your only past me by 3 episodes. I've just finished S2EP2, nothing too great about the first two episodes of series 2 imo.

Cliffhanger is right! i couldn't hold off seeing what happened, I went straight for EP1 of Season 2

Khannie

So are you interested in doing the one episode per week thing then? It'd be nice to be able to chat about it with other like minded heads.

Yeah... I found season two took it's time to get going. But it does get very good.

Rollo Tamasi

i would but....i have my final exams coming up so i'm on a crazy schedule with regards battle star time!

Fenster

Not to beat around the bush, I already have it all on DVD...

Still, I intend to buy the boxed set for the full season when it reaches these shores.

chalky

I would go with the whole thread thing but I intend - once I get time, and the actual season 2 - to watch it all at once (I'm like that - no patience).

Aagggghh! I watched the season one finale on Thursday night after the Sopranos and I was left blood well speechless by the end of the night!

Khannie, I'd defo be on for that.

Holding off watching the end of season 2 on Sky is killing me - but i think its worth it cos I'll get much more out of it watching it in chronological order <rocks back and forth>

chalky

You see I've kinda spoilt it for myself, I've watched a number of episodes from season 2 on sky including the opening episode so I know what happens. I'm resisting the urge to watch the new episodes now though.

Khannie

Nice one quad. I slipped a bit and watched episode 6 last night (should have waited 'til Monday) but I can hold off a bit for you. Have you actually ordered the dvd's?

quad_red

ebay on Thursday morn - a decent seller and he's based in the UK so hopefully, any day now....

quad_red

today off an ebay seller in England.

Got it for €34 incl. delivery which took only 3 working days.

This beats the socks off any of the international dvd sites etc. and everything is above board - well recommended seller and the dvds are authentic etc.

The guy seems to have a few more galactica boxsets for sale so if anyone is interested I can give ya the seller [i hope this is ok with the mods - I hummed and hawed about where to get it myself, just trying to spare some folks some time]

Khannie

Glad to hear it arrived for you. Get crackin' and I'll see you at episode 6.

I'll rewatch the first few on the PSP over the next few days, so crack open a thread when you've started watching.

quad_red

Gonna do it now son

Season 2.0 just arrived for me the other day and I watched the first 2 eps last night.

I hate when they split dvds into 2 sections,but I bought the mini series and season 1 on whim and loved it. After the season 1 finale I just needed a BSG fix! lol At this stage I don't care it is split in two. I guess I will though at the end of season 2.0 and 2.5 won't be out until September at some stage.
