Dang, whatta great series this has turned out to be.  I'll just HAVE to get DVR service now, so I dont miss these when they air on SciFi anymore

Agreed.  I haven't been this 'cited about a Sci Fi series since the geniuses at FOX cancelled Firefly.

Just saying that word is enough to get the thread locked and your post deleted.  Go easy.  You'll get whacked by the big stick of the Skuzzinator if you start talking about those those ......... um, "T word" things.

Why? He's not illegaling downloading a DVD rip and burning it so he doesn't have to pay for it. If he's going to Tivo or DVR an episode its just as easy to search tvtorrent for that episode and watch it. They usually pop up the night of...

I missed South Park last night, just dl'd a torrent and watched it. Some one call the cops...

Well I dont know how many episodes Im missing from the last DVD (3) to what aired a few weeks ago.  I know production wont re-convene for a few months.

Things I like so far...

1) The ships in space act like space ships, not aircraft....thrusters, etc

2) Space is a vacuum...no noise

3) Starbuck as a chick aint so bad after all

4) Boomer is hot.  Very

Amongst other things

1st season was ok, enough for me to watch. The second season, especially the  second half, was terrible. I stopped watching it. If the third turns out ot be as bad then I won't bother with it.

Because Skuzzy has made it plain and clear that those kinda things are not allowed round these parts. That type of file material is copyrighted and unauthorized duplication/distribution is illegal.

I predict a "nothing to see here" coming to your neighborhood soon.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

The word 'torrent' (including tvtorrent) has been used multiple times in threads in the past few week and those haven't been moderated or edited.  

Do you need links?

Here's one:



One in which 'backseat moderator #1' himself started...

and another:

Mininova

The links on tvtorrent come right from mininova.

Here's one where a poster talks about missing an episode of 'Into the west' and says he will might search for a torrent...



I can link more if you think it's necessary. Or hell just type torrent in the search bar. When you go through and 'scold' all those other folks come back to me and try again.

Also, for what its worth:

6- Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". Issues with any breach of rules should be brought to HTC's attention via email at support@hitechcreations.com.


If any moderation is necessary leave it up to Skuzzy or any of those mp types, I am sure they can handle it.

Wow, talk about getting your panties in a bunch.  Just tried to be polite and give you a heads up.  Yer right.  I'll let Skuzzy and the MPs take care of it, and not bother myself with trying to be helpful.  I have a feeling you'd try to argue with a stop sign over right of way rules.

I am not arguing with anyone but you felt it was necessary to point out some 'unwritten' rule and this could be seen as 'backseat moderation'. Any moderation you feel is necessary, or that my reply risks violating, is best left up to those entrusted with that authority. Consider that my attempt at being 'helpful' in turn. After all that is one of clear rules listed in the sticky at the top of every section of the forum. :aok
