I, on the other hand, missed the beginning and didn't want to start watching any episodes until I could watch the beginning. I ended up buying the first searson DVD (which includes the miniseries) and plowing through the entire thing in less than a week. It's definitely an excellent series, and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the next DVD set. It seems that TV shows are starting to move towards having really large, multi-episode (multi-season) arcs as opposed to simple weekly arcs. This is an interesting phenomenon, though it makes it difficult to join in the middle of a series (which is why I ended up buying the DVDs)...

I think you'll also appreciate seeing the Roslin/Adama relationships form - and you'll finally get to know Billy. And it only gets better from there.
