Seriously. The first ten minutes of Friday’s season premiere have been made available online. [Click here](http://video.scifi.com/v/?linkId=34547&sender=Cervaise,%20bringer%20of%20joy). I mean, click there if you can’t wait. No shame if you can’t. Hell, I couldn’t. Minute I knew the thing was available I fired up the video stream. Sue me, I’m weak. 🙂 And I ain’t saying a word about it. Not yet, anyway. Spoilers, no doubt, will follow. That is, of course, if I can find enough other like-minded Galactica fans who cannot resist the lure of new Galacticky goodness, and who wish to discuss with me the revelations contained therein. Well, actually, I will say one word about it. That word, obviously, is _ **FRAK.** _ Enjoy. ---

speakingof frak - all I get is a page inviting me to watch the video - it won’t actually GO to the video… GRRRR ---

Do you have popups blocked? I click “watch video now” and a new window appears with the video player. Maybe try control-click? ---

It took a couple of tries before I got the video to load. Not gonna spoil anything, but I will say it was well worth the trouble to watch… ---

Ye Gods, that was awesome. A couple of thoughts (spoiler tags aren’t working, so scroll down): [SPOILER] Leoben’s line “frakkin’ insurgents” kind of took away any chance the writers might have had to say this show isn’t a parable of Iraq. I remember one of the podcast commentaries denied it - I don’t think we’ll here that again. Doesn’t matter, though- it’s incredibly well-done. Watching them set off an IED was intense. Did Tigh’s wife frak the Cylon to get her husband out of detention? If so, that’s pretty cool - Cylons can be corrupt! Leoben and Kara really need to work on their relationship, I think. Use your words, Kara, not your pointy objects. Funny thing is that Leoben clearly knew Kara couldn’t be trusted with a knife - why’d he give her a long, stabby fork? [/SPOILER] ---

I think I’ll pass on the **Hogan’s Heroes Story Arc** for now. :rolleyes: If I wanted to see the old French Resistance redone, I’d go back and watch some of the old WWII movies. :rolleyes: ---

Interestingly, it isn’t available to non-U.S. locations. We get the series here (Canada) on Space, but SciFi Channel seems reluctent to let us see the preview. ---

Wow. Do they jump right back into the action or what? I guess I was expecting some drawn out exposition and crap. This was some powerful stuff! Is it Friday yet? I had a split second of telling myself “you should wait till Friday and get the full effect.” Yeah, that didn’t last. Before I could even finish the thought my fingers were opening the link all on their own. Is it Friday yet? ---

Kara is aka Starbuck, right? She’s a little skinny for my tastes, but looks nice with long hair I only started watching the reruns a few weeks ago, but I’m hooked. I haven’t anticipated a season opener this much since Babylon 5… ---
