If you actually had the clue you are critiquing others for not having,
you'd know that season one was 'special' insofar that SkyOne in the UK
agreed to take the bullet for the US SciFi channel, by airing Galactica
first, to see how well it does.

Once SciFi established that Galactica was a hit, they grabbed it, and
now SkyOne is playing second fiddle.

This has been clearly established with Season 2.0 and 2.5.

Furthermore, since the 3rd season is currently in process of being
produced, and won't be physically ready until October, and SciFi
clearly states October 6th, it's pretty obvious that there won't be any
early UK releases - now, or ever (well, there may be once Galactica
drops in ratings, gets cancelled, and SkyOne agrees to do an additional
season, just to piss off the yanks).

Anyway. this should be clear enough.
