I only heard about this through word of mouth, and when I went to the Fox site to confirm, all I found was that the Galactica screening was conspicuously absent.<BR/><BR/>I'm gutted, though. I was really excited about watching the finale with a pile of other fans. Thanks to the organizers for trying to sort this out.<BR/><BR/>As for why it's okay in Portland and Austin, but not in Toronto, the answer is simple: NBC/Universal hates Canada :)<BR/>Just try to watch some of the online video clips from any of their shows and you'll see what I'm talking about ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487158796989910842.post-49655085215520295632009-03-16T17:38:00.000-04:002009-03-16T17:38:00.000-04:00From a legal point of view, if you have permission...From a legal point of view, if you have permission in writing, can they really take it back?

Space couldn't give permission, though they were behind the idea, and might have worked with us with more time.<BR/><BR/>The rep was not a fake rep, however the NBC/Uni rep I spoke to apparently was either mistaken or stepped across a line.

I can see with more time, and speaking to the right people, not just some flaks, that you might still have gotten.<BR/><BR/>How does this not benefit NBC? This is like free promotion for a show that unfortunately some people don't yet know about. <BR/><BR/>I can understand the concern if this were a movie, but I would like NBC to tell me the difference between this and inviting a dozen friends over to watch the finale.<BR/><BR/>"On Friday March 20th, starting 8:30 ET SPACE and The Circuit will be hosting a screening party for the Battlestar Galactica Finale"<BR/><BR/>I just found out about this. I guess the reason this is happening is because the Space channel has rights to the show. But still, it makes you wonder if it is possible for others.<BR/><BR/>Frak. I am going to call Rogers and see if I can get Space for a day.Andrew Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258944405065986390noreply@blogger.com
