Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series (Blu-ray)
Now you can relive every action-packed moment of the epic story that Entertainment Weekly proclaims "riveting"!
Forty years after the Cylon Wars, humanity's deadliest enemies have reemerged with a vengeance. In a sudden, devastating nuclear attack, the Cylon robots - who have now taken human form - wipe out billions of people. Only a handful of Colonial forces are left to shepherd the few survivors to safety. Commander William Adama (Edward James Olmos), the highest-ranking military officer left alive, reactivates the Battlestar Galactica top once again face humanity's greatest nemesis.
Outnumbered and outarmed, Adama reluctantly concedes that the newly sworn-in President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) is correct - this battle was lost before it had begun. With no choice but to flee, the ragtag fleet of survivors and humanity's only hope set out in search of the mythic 13th Colony of Kobol... a legendary planet known as Earth.

Depressingly Amazing - Menchi
An intriguing, action packed, survival mystery, which incredibly gets more and more depressing as time goes on. It starts off horribly (for the characters), and they just keep getting kicked while they are down. But the hope of a better tomorrow keeps most of them going. Oh, and phenomenal acting.Amazing!! - hilkayaker
This is a really good series. I can see why it got so many stars and so many people watched it. The storyline is intriguing, the actors are amazing, and a lot of great lines. If you like sci-fi or even if you are not a big fan but are open to it you should like it. I found the ending a little bit anti-climactic, but the rest of the series and the first two parts of the finale were all amazing.Outstanding series - Superdave
Not only does this series tackle normally taboo subjects such as religious conflicts [and the great twist here is that the bad guys are monotheistic], not only does it have strong characters and great dialog, wonderful production design etc. etc. There is yet another important difference. Unlike most TV series, where the events of this week's episode have no consequences in terms of the continuing drama, where the writers contrive to hit the re-set button at the end of each episode, BSG is ALL about consequences. Tough command decisions have to be made constantly, and the consequences of actions taken are permanent and have repercussions that pop up later to further complicate the narrative. There is no reset button. This is a series that demands to be seen and seen in proper episodic order.
