If you missed any of the first season, or never saw the original 4-hour mini-series of a pilot (like me), during the Sci-Fi mini-marathon of season one episodes last tueday they announced the release on DVD of season one + the original miniseries as part of the bonus items. Release date was 9-20, advertised as available at Best Buy.
As for season 2, it started turned on its head, had some lulls in the middle, and finished strong, with some more new twists. I had seen some rave reviews for the episode named Pegasus, which aired originally on 9-23.. It took me until 10-22 to finally catch up to that episode, and it did not disappoint.
We've talked on BG in the forums, at this thread.
Best Buy advertises season one at $48.99, seems a little steep. But I guess when put side-by-side with the sole and only season of the 1978 original at $92.99 that's not so bad. If you only have $22.99, you can buy the miniseries pilot to the current BG.
Costco has the Season 1 DVD combined with the Miniseries for 36.99 or 37.99, depending on which Costco. One in Florida (Clearwater) had it for 36.99, while one in Virginia had the 37.99.
Season 3 is due to premiere on SciFi in January 2006. There are lots of other things to watch between now and then, but SciFi has done well to move things along, by airing two seasons in the same calendar year. Sure, they are closer to British-length seasons than American ones, but that does serve to keep things fresh. The hokey-ness of the original 1978 BG has been avoided, and this, amongst the performances of the leads in the new one, will keep it on the air for some time to come, and far surpass the original.
