I quite like short mini series. Keeps it snappy.
Half way through the series its got too much bonking in it for me to pad out the time lack of story imo- story great idea episode 2 & 5 are great others slow sticking with it as its now gathering pace
Is that John Bishop?lol

the rampant rewatch of BSG continues, we've managed to plough through the entire season 2 in just a few nights of watching.
Brilliant first half, really epic epic stuff...then out of nowhere three genuinely crap episodes in a row (Black Market, Scar and the hostage one). Felt out of place. But picked up again after that. 3 things that I'm not sure about, i guess spoilers for those who want to watch this:
- isn't it extremely out-of-character for Adama to just accept Baltar won the vote? Especially after Roslin said she suspects him as working with the Cylons, Seeing how cautious Adama is with Sharon it's a weird call to make. My best guess is that firstly he fears the crooked vote in favour of Roslin was too obvious and might cause loads of unrest, and secondly he's just knackered and needs a break from running away. I don't buy his principled reasoning that allowing the crooked vote would go against democratic values, but that may have been the intention.
- why did Baltar give the Six on Cloud 9 the nuclear bomb knowing she'd probably use it to kill thousands? He's supposed to be wracked with guilt. And saying that surely the military intelligence would've realised it would emit a nuclear signal transmission making them easier to detect from the Cylons.
- and going all the way back to the Pilot, how in all the gods' name did Baltar survive the blast which destroyed Caprica Six's body and all the buildings around it?
First-time watching i think i just went with the flow, but on rewatch these things stick out as sloppy writing, unless i've missed some internal logic.
Still excellent viewing, of course. My favourite season (3) is upon us now, from memory i think it's quality has a similar structure to S2, in that the first third and last third are amazing but there's some average eps in the middle. Might be a couple of weeks before we get round to it...good to take a little break after marathoning 33 eps in 10 days.

No it was the part time thing with not many shows bit - hate the guy not youlol
Unfortunately my work relies on the tourist season.... Apr to Oct.The island goes from being full one minute .... to a ghost town after the 31st of Oct.Got a show in Cyprus next week really good wedge and flights paid for...... and me Mam lives over there so it's a win win........oh and it gets me away from the missus for a few days lol
hey dont knock it sounds great I am retired watch loads of series on TV and waterfalls
I think theyre about an hour long - Some of them are brilliant ('Be Right Back' and 'White Bear') whereas some are a bit aimless ('The Waldo Moment')

Are they one off episodes or are they linked?
All of the Black Mirror episodes are completely individual - There is no link between any of them so you can dip in and out wherever you like
