Rating: - Subversive...
Most people would be slightly weary of the idea of a new and re-invigorated version of the spectacle Science Fiction Drama series Battlestar Galactica (1978-1980) being up to the year in which the series became 'Galactica 1980', which lead to its thoroughly trashed downfall, was a bit of a surprise that a network had decided to re-fashion the show with a more updated and far more interesting story. Many fans would, should insist that this is a re-imagining not an intrinsic remake of a cheesy lovable, and to use a pun for a modern show, "That 70's Show". Many of the sci-fi fan-boys, and girls, were in need of a successful sci-fi drama series that had the ability to keep fresh interest and action with drama to top.
The show comes from that concept of a 2003 mini-series, a somewhat thorough and enjoyable close to 3 hr pilot. The principal point, machines are made by man, evolved, rebelled, and a war began.
Sci-fi rubbed off on this show, and it pays to respect it with homage's. With elements from novelist Philip K. Dick from his earlier works of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" now known as the film adaptation "Blade Runner" along with the dark twisted parallel of the humanoid Cylons, and that mirrored `skinjob' reference. It also manages to match the dark allegory of P. K Dick' "Valis" a unique exploration of plethora's and universal metaphysics.
The virtuous and glamoured imagery bears the likeness of Kubrick' "2001: A Space Odyssey" with cross-cut scenes ... Read More
Rating:  - Love Love Love This Show..........
I am a Battlestar fan since day one and found the 2.5 season better than the 2.0. I've watched it at least three times and it never gets old. If you are new to Battlestar, definately start at the beginning with the two hour SCI FI movie and go from there. I'm sad the show is ending, but it will not be gone forever thanks to the dvd's. Definately worth the money to purchase and if you like entertainment, there isn't anything on television now that can compare to the drama in Battlestar.......
Rating: - Not Cheaper!! Is this a misprint???
If 2.0 and 2.5 are around 35 seperately, How is 91 and up a better deal? It even says in the "price at a glance" box, that the list price is $69.98, then has it crossed out and has $91.47 listed below it, like its a better deal. Great show though.;)

I ordered this to catch-up on the episodes I missed, and saved money with Amazon. They had the best price anywhere including free shipping so I was able to add to my DVD collection for less. They shipped it out fast and I received it in just a few days, perfectly packaged so it wouldn't get damaged during shipping.
Thanks!
Rating: - Mature, emotionally intense examination of values
Battlestar Galactica is a mature and emotionally intense examination of the values we profess to hold as human beings living in a highly developed society. The line is blurred between what is human and humane and what is mechanistic. There is no black and white in the choices that must be made to ensure the survival of humanity; every choice is nuanced by conflicting values and ethics and placed in the context of the survival of humanity. But even in the context of the surrvival of humanity, there are serious doubts cast upon the actions and behaviours that represent the so-called best evidence of what humanity is.
Galactica is an outstanding series. It is thoughtful, supremely well performed and addictive.
