Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5 is the final 10 episodes of the Sci-Fi Channel's highly acclaimed reimagining of the 1970s show, including one of the more stirring and satisfying series finales in television history. Aired in January 2009 after a six-month hiatus, the half-season opens following the devastating revelation about Earth and with four of the final five Cylons revealed, including Tigh (Michael Hogan), Anders (Michael Trucco), Foster (Rekha Sharma), and Tyrol (Aaron Douglas). The uneasy alliance between humans and a pack of rebel Cylons, including Caprica 6 (Tricia Helfer) takes a quizzical turn when the former residents of Earth appear to be Cylon rather than human, and some of the final five begin to recall their past lives on Earth. Kara (Katee Sackhoff) has to call her own human status into question when she discovers a crashed Viper occupied by a corpse wearing her dog tags, and President Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos) battle their own despair and struggle to lead an emotionally devastated fleet. Capitalizing on the turmoil, Vice President Tom Zarek (Richard Hatch) and Felix Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani) organize a mutiny aboard the Galactica and Zarek makes an unbelievable power move against the Quorum of Twelve. But before they can carry out their plans for execution, a commando raid led by Kara and Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber) fighting side by side strikes back against the mutineers. That's the action high point of the half-season, as the show then seems to mark some time with such issues as babies and structural integrities until the three-part finale, which, despite a head-scratcher or two, manages to resolve its issues tidily. That viewers even get a rare glimpse of sunlight is kind of a reward for fans of this outstanding but relentlessly dark series. DVD features include extended versions of three episodes ("A Disquiet Follows My Soul," "Islanded in a Stream of Stars," and "Daybreak'), Ronald D. Moore's podcast commentaries for each episode, deleted scenes, David Eick's video blogs, and five behind-the-scenes featurettes. --David Horiuchi

BSG was the best sci-fi drama ever written! The last half of the last season wraps things up nicely.

Great, as usual. This is one of the best and most well written series ever! We thoroughly enjoy each show.

Spoilers dead ahead!!
Sure, we'd like to know why Hera was so important; if Kara already knew the notes and the jump coordinates, why would she need them from Hera? and if Hera is part Cylon, wouldn't it show up if the archaeologists 150,000 years hence did an exam of her skeleton? If Kara was said to be the harbinger of death, what came of that? How did she just disappear into thin air? Does Bill Adama really want to live out his life in a cabin all alone with Laura's grave nearby? If you had some tech, would you really want to abandon it and live primitively when you don't need to? And why would the primitive tribesmen want to mingle with you at all unless it was to kill you?
You can put the above aside, to a degree, however, and enjoy the most unpredictable, questioning, darkest, most daring series that's been on TV in quite some time. The cast is superb, with James Callis, McDonnell, and Olmos standing out the most. The ship is realistically breaking up and dying of age and damage instead of magically being put back together again as it would have been in Trek or other series. The producers and writers also will not let people just ride off happily into the sunset; the fact is that what we seek isn't always what we had hoped we would find; sometimes things do not work out in the end; and you have to wonder if the human species really deserves to survive at all.

Wow! What can I say. I just started to watch this season and it left me without words. The actors, producers, and all the cast and crew did a very good job this last season.
That's the most amasing season of BSG, and I thank everyone involved on the production because you really gave us great emotions and goose bumps in every episode.
I love this season, and I am so sad it is the last one.

The series continues to surprise us. My wife's never been a sci-fi fan but she got thoroughly engrossed in this series. We look forward to more.
