I've seen each and every episode on the Sci-Fi channel, plus the extras online. I bought seasons 1 thru 3, plus the "Razor" and the "Miniseries".
WOW! Can't leave the couch! Watching this series WITHOUT commercials is a true gift! Already into the 4th (and final) season, and can't wait for the DVD set!!!!
BTW - did you know that BSG won a "Peabody" award for their writing? W2G BSG!!!!
If you're a sci fi fan, then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
If you're NOT a sci-fi fan, then GET ON THE BANDWAGON and watch the BEST dramatic (sci-fi) series EVER on TV. I kid you NOT. This show ROCKS!!!!

We're one of those households that is always on the run. When my spouse and I find that rare time for recreation, it had better be good....I resent going to disappointing movies or music events, out for mediocre food, or time spent in line or dealing with commercials. We can count on one finger the hours a week we get to spend escaping from our business, our jobs, and our family work. We don't have a TV at our house (although we have 4 computers) because we really don't have the patience to have ads pointed at us in our down time. We picked up BSG on DVD on the advice of friends when we complained about being disappointed by the cinema movies, and because I love Edward James Olmos (American Me). We were sucked in and blown away...this is better, more thinking entertainment than anything we've done outside the house this spring. Warning, it's addictive. It just gets better and better. I keep thinking about some of the questions and the themes for days. They have so much good writing and acting in a broad ensemble cast, that current movie offerings are weak in comparison. Enjoy!

Battlestar Galactica. Although I am too young to remember the original series, I do remember seeing some episodes in syndication. However, you can't even compare this show to the original.
As a life-long fan of all things "Star Trek" I can say that it is nice to find a show that can sucessfully carry the banner for Sci-Fi shows in this decade. The writing is brilliant, suspensful, and intellegent. This is definately a grown-up show, the audience is forced to think and to care.
The acting is superb. Edward James Olmos plays a captain the likes of which has never been seen before. He has a command pressence that can peel paint off the walls, but at the same time he can be quiet and unassuming. Mary McDonnell rules the screen as the soft-spoken President Roslin. Katee Sachoff gives Starbuck a tough quality, but at the same time she is in no way over-masculine: she is all woman.
The other characters are also expertly portrayed. As I said above, the writers have done a great job in painting realistic and beleiveable characters on the screen coupled with an engaging storyline and well balanced visuals, Galactica has sucessfully managed to cross into the mainstream of TV. You don't have to be a geek to understand or enjoy this show. In fact it's right up there with many of the other sucessful fast-paced dramas out there like "24", "Lost" and "CIS".

Developed by sci-fi veteran, Ronald D. Moore, not only is Battlestar Galactica the best show on television these days, it is television at its frakin' best. The sci-fi epic chronicles the journey of the last surviving humans from the Twelve Colonies of Kobol after the nuclear annihilation of their home planet (Caprica) by the Cylons (an alien Empire of machines intent on destroying the "inferior" human race) in their search for a new home (the mythical and long-lost thirteenth colony, Earth). The survivors (approximately 50,000 in all) are led by President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and Commander William Adama (Edward James Olmos) in a fleet of ships with the Battlestar Galactica, a old submarine-like battleship ("The Bucket"), at the Fleet's command. Season One of BSG opens with the Cylons (which have now evolved into human form) in relentless pursuit of the Galactica and its "ragtag fleet" of survivors, and ends with a cliffhanger.
THE HISTORY OF BSG: Battlestar Galactica is a "re-imagining" of 1978 television series. In 2003, a four-hour Sci Fi Channel Miniseries became the pilot of the 2004 television series, which premiered on Sky One in the UK and Ireland in 2004, and then on the Sci Fi Channel in the U.S. in 2005. Season One seamlessly picks up where the Miniseries ended. The fourth (and final) season of BSG will begin on April 4, 2008.
THE THREE-PART STRUCTURE OF BSG. BSG involves three equally-fascinating, intertwined storylines: (1) the Colonial survivors' quest for Earth; (2) the possible psychosis of Dr. Gaius Baltar (James Callis), whose every thought and interraction is closely scrutinized by a beautiful Cylon incarnation (Tricia Helfer) (one wonders, is she real or Baltar's fantasy?), and (3) the Caprican Resistance efforts of crash-landed pilots Helo (Tahmoh Penikett), Boomer (Grace Park), and others. Ultimately, BSG is a lesson in the value of human love.
THE APPEAL OF BSG: BSG transcends the sci-fi genre, which is what makes it so appealing to both young and old, male and female viewers, alike. Critics have referred to the show as a "space opera." It is an intelligent drama that confronts cutting-edge issues, set in Deep Space. In that respect, BSG is a departure from other science fiction shows like Star Trek. In BSG, traditional male roles have been reversed. Military leaders such as President Laura Roslin and unconventional Viper fighter pilots such Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) and Boomer are played by actresses. The alien Cylons have evolved out of "flawed" humanity. Most of the show's human characters struggle with personal issues: dysfunctional relationships, alcoholism, smoking, and a variety of possible mental illnesses. Cylon blood is resistant to human disease. The show resonates with post-9/11 moral and ethical issues: terrorism, sleeper cells, suicide bombers, the torture of prisoners, the erosion of civil liberties, and conflicting religious beliefs.
BSG SEASON ONE DVD: BSG Season One includes the four-hour Miniseries (001-002) and thirteen episodes (101-113):
001-002 Miniseries
101 33
102 Water
103 Bastille Day
104 Act of Contrition
105 You Can't Go Home Again
106 Litmus
107 Six Degrees of Separation
108 Flesh and Bone
109 Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down
110 The Hand of God
111 Colonial Day
112 Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 1
113 Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 2
SHOULD YOU BUY THIS DVD SET? They say patience is a virtue. I recommend waiting for the release of the Miniseries/Seasons 1-4 box set, if you can.

Its True. I bought this DVD on a friend's recommendation- not really knowing alot about it except how "amazing" it was, because its "hard to explain". My wife saw the DVD and starting complaining immediately about having to "sit through" bad TV. By the end of disc one, she was a changed woman. I mean, she's a Battlestar crackhead now!!! Not only did she make me buy season 2 immediately afterwards but she pre-ordered season 3 herself!
In closing... BSG is waaaayyy better than any other show I've ever seen on TV. It's just that good. Like, REALLY good. The amazing cast of characters and excellent writing make this show, not the space setting. Its NOTHING like Star trek or Star Wars. In fact, the BSG universe obliterates them both, hands down. Pick it up- a MUST OWN.
