I agree with this. They don't need the full-blown intro anymore. When watching, we fastforward past the intro and recap, watch the teaser, fast-forward through the title sequence and the "spoiler" for the ep, and pick it up when the show comes back. Seems unneccesary. Especially after watching a show like Invasion that has a few "previously's" and a 2 second title screen for introduction material.

What IS the point of the teaser for the current episode airing right before the show starts? I always look away during that part to enjoy the episode more.

That would give them an extra minute at most. I can't really see that helping.

I dunno - I think they would end up with more like 2-3 minutes extra, which would equal nearly an hour of extra material each season, at 22 episodes.

That's nothing to sneeze at.

Never understood why they do that either...and I tend to look away as well.

I FF the recap, watch the new part at the beginning and then FF to the show after the 1st commercial break.

I watch the whole thing, from "The Cylons were created by humans..." right up to the end of the episode. The only thing I skip are the closing credits.

I like the traditional feel of actually having an opening credit sequence, plus it's always interesting to see what shows up in the "previously" segment. It's a lot more than just a quick recap of last week.

I love the intro with spoilers. It is compelling music, and gets the tone set for the show, except when the show is rather slow. But I still watch it every time. Even when I was late to the series and watched the entire 1st season in a few weeks, I watched it every time.

Cool Review of B.G. in Entertainment Weekly.

Great review of the show in Entertainment Weekly:

Where Star Trek was about strength, Galactica is about weakness

I was gonna say, "I didn't know Michelle Rodriguez made it to BSG."

She really brought down this episode for me. To be honest, I thought I was watching a season 1 episode that I had missed. I should have caught on earlier, but it didn't dawn on me until later in the episode that the two new guys had said they were from Pegasus. I think that threw me off was the concentration of the flashback as well as how it skipped immediately into the episode.

And what was up with the whole Lee/Starbuck bit?! Just damn weird...
