The whole Battlestar Galactica season confuses me. Last week's episode ended with a major cliff hanger. Two of Adama's men are about to be executed by the Pegasus psycho Admiral. I went to tvtorrents to download this weeks episode and it turns out it won't be available until Jan 2006. I thought the second season just got started? It's like they have a little summer season and then a little winter season?

Woah, woah, woah! Hold up there! Do you mean to tell me there are more episodes after they use the arrow to go to the virtual stonehenge thingy and view the constellations from Earth?!?
How many?

They split the season into two parts, I guess to not have to compete with all the season premieres. Same is true with "No Reservations," which has a new episode gap between August and October.

What really gets me about this series (along with The Dead Zone and The Shield) is that they only make 10 or 12 episodes for a season! I mean what the hell is with that? I understand they're cable shows but surely they are popular enough eo warrant 20-24 episodes like other series on the networks? January isn't too bad considering it will be March I think for The Shield and probably May for The Dead Zone!

Think about this: only 12 episodes.

How many "padding" episodes and clip shows do they have, though? None from what I can tell. The short duration adds to the quality.

Given many great British TV series are only 6 eps per season and they do about 2 or 3 seasons and then call it quits, no matter how amazingly popular the series is, well, 12 ain't bad at all.

Around 24 was standard a long time ago. 12 to 13 has been fairly normal for a long time now.

Wow, that's a real cliff-hanger of a season ending!
I mean even more so than the usual season-ending cliffhangers....

Episode guide says 2x11 doesn't come out until January, so don't be fooled into downloading what turns out to be "The greatest cumshots ever!"
