But the UK is going to have to wait months. :mad: This sort of stupid asshattery is a prime cause of piracy.

> Sky will air the new season of Galactica alongside the ninth season of Stargate SG-1 and the second season of Stargate Atlantis. Because SCI FI traditionally takes a rerun break from September to January, it is likely that Sky will pass the U.S. cable network and air the second half of the season first.

Hee! Piracy will be rampant! This show has a huge internet fanbase. It was funny during the first season, the producer of the show made a public appeal to the fans not to download the episodes from the UK. Than about a million people’s eyes in the US popped open with a “huh? You can download the episodes from the UK??” ::click, click, clickity click::

What day does the second season start in the US? [Scifi.com](http://Scifi.com) has nothing I can find on when season 2 starts.

Holy frack! Major spoilers on that link. Beware!

For example, the summary of the first half-dozen episodes or so reveals the whereabouts of Starbuck:She doesn’t leave Caprica for quite a while.The health status of Adama:Comatose, comatose, comatose.The location of President Roslin:Still in the brig for a good long while.The reaction of other important people to the foregoing:Tom Zarek accuses Tigh, running things during Adama’s incapacity, of jailing Roslin as part of an attempted coup.

Lots of things in that article I wish I didn’t know. Please warn us next time, and anyone who’s looking to stay dramatically uncontaminated would be wise to refrain from clicking.

If it makes you feel any better, the next George RR Martin book that we’ve been waiting five YEARS for is being published in the UK a month before we get it here in the US.

Only a week and two days to go! Firefly, SG-1, Atlantis & BSG all on one night. I’m going to be exhausted.
