Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is one of the best shows on TV right now, according to many media outlets. "A Breakaway Hit!" -TV Guide and "The Best Show on Television." -Newsday are but two examples of the rave reviews it has received. If you are a sci-fi fan, this is a must-see show. If you aren't a sci-fi fan, you should still consider checking this out. Even though it's in space and has killer robots, it is more human than most other drama shows on TV today. So say we all.
This box set includes the miniseries that re-launched this show and returned it to TV for the first time since the 1970's. It has the 4-hour miniseries and the 13 episodes from the first season. It stars Edward James Olmos as Commander Adama Captain of the Battlestar Galactica, and Mary McDonnell as the newly invested president of the 12 colonies of man. She was formerly the secretary of education.
The Cylon's had not been heard from in years. Then in one day they attack and destroy nearly all human life in attacks on all planets and most military assets. Now with the war against the Cylon robots lost, the Battlestar Galactica crew speed toward the fabled 13th colony on a long lost planet, called Earth. Galactica Commander Adama and President Laura Roslin face waning supplies, crushed morale, ... and the credible threat Cylons aboard the ship. Cylons that look like humans now not just shiny machines.
Humanity's children have come home and they are trying to destroy their creators.
Some of the amazing cast are:
Edward James Olmosas Commander William Adama
Mary McDonnellas Laura Roslin
Katee Sackhoffas Lt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace
Jamie Bamberas Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama
James Callisas Dr. Gaius Baltar Vice President
Tricia Helferas Number Six
Grace Parkas Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii
Richard Hatchas Tom Zarek (The original Apollo)
Tahmoh Penikettas Lt. Karl C. "Helo" Agathon
Michael Hoganas Col. Saul Tigh
Aaron Douglasas CPO Galen "Chief" Tyrol
Alessandro Julianias Lt. Felix Gaeta
Kandyse McClureas P02 Anastasia Dualla
Paul Campbellas Billy Keikeya
This cast works so well together, that after the miniseries they rewrote parts of the series to give the "Chief" a much larger role.
This series will draw you in and capture your imagination. It is full of religious symbols and images. There are visions, prophecies, and sacred scrolls. It is a drama of the most intense nature. Check it out, you will watch the DVD's over and over again.
The best Sci-fi series since Babylon 5.
So Say We All!

An updating and re-imagining of the classic 1970s sci-fi television show, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA combines elements of STAR TREK, STAR WARS, and THE TERMINATOR. Human beings built the android Cylons to work as servants for them, only to have the robots rebel and disappear into space. A generation later, however, the Cylons returned to destroy their former masters, and succeeded in eliminating the 12 worlds that mankind inhabited. Luckily, one group of people has managed to escape the genocide, lead by Commander William Adama (Edward James Olmos), on board the massive space ship called Battlestar Galactica. But the struggle isn't over, as the ruthless Cylons continue to pursue the ship and the last surviving members of the human race. This vision of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA features a darker tone and CGI special effects, and shares with other science fiction sagas a warning about the misuse of advanced technology.
