So, last year three ants started a first watch for the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, though it only got one episode in. I've just started rewatching the series and would love to talk about it. I was thinking about starting a regular rewatch club at around two episodes a week. Anyone interested? I would probably skip the miniseries (which I have already rewatched) and make the first post be for "33."
