Ive seen the first 4 EPs it got off to a good start with the 2 episode opener but the following eps just seem to follow the same formula.I will give it a few more eps but it aint looking too good.

I've watched the first four episodes and I'm enjoying it.It does seem to be progressing at quite a slow pace and does seem to be very formulaic (sp?). It shows promise imo but if it does get a bit repetative then I can see it becoming very dull pretty quickly.
I will hold judgement until I've watched a few more episodes.
I've been watching the first few episodes of Invasion too which seems to be a far superior show than threshold based on the few episodes I have watched.

Nothing comes close to lost though

The thought the two part opener was fantastic - obner of the best pilots i've seen. episode 3 was very weak. and 4 showed great promise. haven't 5 yet but i will of by the end of the day.

I think its shows promise but it could go either way.

LOL....

Its not a bad show at all. Dave is getting divorced from his wife and will be marrying the show next year. Everyone is invited.

Seriosly, Battlestar has surpassed SG-1 and Atlantis for me and is a top quality sci-fi show and dare I say it a True Story.

If you havent seen it yet your missing out.

I thought it was the prospect of jetting off that had got your spelling, grammer and punctuation FUBAR'd. But if it wasn't that and was indeed the series then I'll have to give this a viewing, as in answer to your question. No I haven't seen it.
