Help?

I've made plans with a friend to start catching up on Battlestar Galactica on Monday night while I'm not allowed to dance. By some chance, we both stopped watching at the same time, after season two.

Anybody in the area who'd be willing to loan me season three on dvd for a while? I'll buy you dinner or something comparably nice...

Unfortunately, I had to delete the early episodes for a hardware change a while back, but I've still got all of Season 4 on my MythTV system. Once you get past 3, I can give you 4.

Thanks! Does that let you burn a DVD that'll play in a normal DVD player? The TV we're planning to use doesn't have an attached computer, and apparently we don't have a computer to attach. (I, personally, don't have a large display)

There is MythTV functionality for that, but I don't have a DVD burner in my system.

I do have a DVD burner in my desktop and lots of DVD-authoring software. So, yes, I can make regular DVD's given a little time.

Seriously, you don't have a computer you can attach?

Weird, isn't it? The drawback to watching at someone else's house...the advantages are nice tv, offer to be cooked for, not making them trudge over, and not fighting over tv with my housemates.

My laptop only has VGA out, and I don't really want to depend on my ability to show up and do something clever. Got it from work; I don't buy much hardware.

She said she didn't have an option to play from computer there. This may well change by the time we're ready for S4, though.

Ach! It's too bad I'm not in your area.... Else I could lend you that, as well as season 4.0, as well as invite you to come over and watch season 4.5 off of my DVR. Alas, alack....

You should clearly move in the next three days... ;)

Do you like it?

That would be on solution, huh? ::chuckles::

I do; in fact, I love it. Sure, there are some things I can critique about it, but that's true about just about everything. It very often hits the kinds of buttons I want pushed when I'm watching a t.v. show, and the acting in particular I find to almost always be astonishingly good, leagues above (or at least leagues more consistent) than the majority of shows I've ever seen.

There are some places in the last couple of seasons where some viewers have felt lost, like the show they loved no longer is the show they're watching. I'm not in that camp at all; I think the show is not only generally continuing on in a way I almost always enjoy, but that what they're doing is almost always very much a callback or reaction to things and themes they've worked on before.

Sure, I can hook you up with season 3 and/or the first half of four. Shoot me an email and we can work out how I can hand it over.
