Season three preview!

I am sure you have seen it by now. I am a little slow to the party this week. In case you haven't, BSG news has a good collection of links:

Battlestar Galactica: Season Three preview

My thoughts?

It is looking pretty good. It seems like they took the formula that worked so well from the first season (splitting the cast into Capirca and Galactica) and doing the same thing having two story lines going in two separate places. I can imagine this will work out just as perfectly giving a variety of situations and textures for us to experience throughout the episodes.

It also seems like there will be a lot of soul searching... a lot of questioning of motivation... just what does it mean to survive? Does it mean to do enough to live or does it mean do enough to remain human? These are classic questions that writers have tackled over the ages and a very strong reoccurring theme throughout the show. It should be exciting to see the results play out against the background of a Cylon occupation.

Rumor has it, the webisodes will be hitting in September sometime, so it will be interesting to see how those prepare us for October! I am definitely excited though. Seeing this preview reminds me just how great this show is.

any one know what song they used for the pre-view?

The song is "Savin' Me" by Nickelback. The video for the song is pretty cool (but has nothing to do with BG).

People that love BSG should definitely check out Babylon 5, aswell. The story is even bigger. But, unfortunately you need to muscle through the first season, which is a little weak, to understand the rest of the story line. Perhaps this is why it never really took off in a big way. If you can stomach the first season, it's well worth it. Because the end of season 2 and all of season 3 is the best TV around.
