We were introduced to 3 new "human" Cylons, still 5 more to discover as there are meant to be 12. Really enjoyed second season with the Adama recovering and getting the f leet and crew back together including rescuing the people from Kobol. Second season continued on from were it ended in first season Adama's assassination by Boomer(Cylon),Starbuck stranded on Caprica and Baltar,Chief and others stranded on Kobol. It was interesting that they changed some of the characters from male to female Īlso liked how the Cylons had evolved into more humanoid forms (while still keeping the Robot style Cylons as well), we only saw 4 of the new "human" Cylons In the original 70's show Adama,Starbuck,Boomer,Tigh etc. In the first season we were introduced to many of the same characters who were I got my money back on the fakes I unwittingly bought, and got a genuine box-set less than a week later from another eBay seller - for the SAME PRICE! Read full reviewīought this because I already had the pilot episode and season 1.Īlso watched and enjoyed original Battlestar Galactica from 70's. Don't let this discourage you, there are more honest sellers on eBay than there are crooks. If the discs you bought have a blue or lilac tint on the underside, then however good the label on top looks, you have home-made DVD-R copies and need to demand your money back. A non-UK edition would NOT have British and Irish rating labels on the packaging, and look at the bottom of the DVDs themselves - all factory-produced DVDs are silver. Some people are advertising "Asian editions" which are clearly nothing more than copies made with a CD-burner equipped PC and case covers printed on colour printers. Even if you are not usually a sci-fi fan, Battlestar Galactica is first class drama and is to be recommended, featuring stories that could work equally well without fleets of spacecraft.īe careful buying this box set on eBay, it took me two attempts to get a genuine edition.
This is no futuristic fantasy, the cast of the series may be from other worlds but they are without a doubt as human as you and I, and the parrallels between the Galactica universe and events in parts of our own world are clear.
The writing is excellent, and thought-provoking to boot, with an excellent cast who were largely unknown before this Galactica, but all of whom deserve to be household names. Like any long-running show, you will find the odd dull episode here and there, but you have to watch them because every minute of the show is important to the ongoing story arc - thankfully, in 22 epsisodes of series 2, there are only a couple of slow segments.
From an explosive start, this series gets better and better.
