Even though creator Ron Moore worked on multiple STAR TREK series, sci-fi fans expecting the millennial re-imagining of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA to have a similarly sunny outlook on the future didn¿t know what they were in for. There¿s no Federation here; in fact, humans are alone, and after a genocidal attack by robots called Cylons, there aren¿t even that many of them left. The expectations of the original series¿ fans were also subverted by a key casting change: the rogue pilot Starbuck, originally played by Dirk Benedict, would now be a woman (Katee Sackhoff), but she would lose none of her predecessor¿s bravado. The smart casting also extended to the series leads: Oscar nominee Edward James Olmos stars as the military leader of the human fleet, while the acclaimed actress Mary McDonnell plays the civilian president. As the human survivors try to battle the Cylons, who are led by the sexy Six (former model Tricia Helfer), they are also in search of Earth, which may or not be a myth. Though the story of robots rebelling against their human creators has been told before, it rarely has as much grit, grime, and grace as it does with BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. This collection includes every episode from the entire epic series.

This set is a must have for any fan of the re-imagined SyFy Battlestar Galactica Series. Overstock had the best price for this set and it arrived in perfect shape earlier than expected.I would highly recommend purchasing this set, even if you own some or all of the DVDs, if you have a HDTV and decent surround sound system. The video quality is superior to the DVD sets and spot on with what my DVR recorded from my COX HD cable source. The Audio is AMAZING on my 7.1 speaker setup and again blows away the audio from the DVD set.The only issue I have with the set (same on the Complete Series DVD) is the internal packaging Universal used. All of the Blu-Ray discs are stored in slots between thin cardboard pieces with only the labeling of the Disc Number for the particular season on them. There is no season or master guide letting you know which four or five episodes are on each disc for that season. I realize most true fans know the episodes by heart, but this can be a bit of a nuisance when you are trying to locate a particular episode and you can't remember which season or disc it should be on.Best of luck in purchasing your set and enjoy one of the best shows on TV!
