As has been pointed out several times, "Season 2.0" is only HALF of Season 2. Sci-Fi programmed a 3-month hiatus into the schedule so the final 10 episodes that aired beginning in 1/6/06. If you just have to have this as an Xmas gift, by all means do so; you'll enjoy the midseason cliffhanger as much as the rest of us. It'll probably be cheaper to buy the for a complete Season 2.5 volume, however and there may be added bonus features. "Season 2.0" is a bit of misnomer even discounting it's only the first 10 episodes of Season 2. Sci-Fi didn't pay for a full Season 1 so some of the plot threads from that aren't tied up until Season 2 Episode 5. In effect what you have are the final 5 episodes of Season 1 plus just *5* episodes of Season 2. However it all works out in some bizarre non-Euclidean fashion. The episodes pretty much stand on their own merit and you don't need a reference card to keep track of what's going on. Season 2 is darker, richer, and more plot-driven than Season 1 and the Cylons still have some tricks up their sleeves to show us. The mid-season cliffhanger is logical, satisfying, and the end and leaves you breathless waiting for the resolution. The Colonials now know where Earth is but it's a *long* way off and the Cylons are hot on their heels. Boomer's child is a key plot element and will have a significant impact on the storyline at some point. There are big things in store for the crew of Galactica.Read full review
I purchased Battlestar Galactica a number of weeks ago and have since watched the 3-dvd set in its entirety. I liked the re-cap that each episode did at the beginning, which helped new viewers such as myself, transition into the series. Never having watched the original series but being a fan of sci-fi, the stories were decent and well written and the space scenes were excellent with very interesting camera effects. I liked the fact that the set was a "slim" case DVD set, which helps take up less room on my shelf. My main and only complaint is the fact that this DVD set only covers the first half of the second season and you are left hanging for the conclusion of the final DVD episode. Nowhere on the DVD box or the DVDs themselves does it state this fact, I had to find this out when I went to the actual website for the show and discovered that the second half would be released later on in the year. All in all though, I recommend this series and this box set, especially if when you can buy it inexpensively here on eBay versus out in a retail store with its price mark-up.Read full review
I am a huge Battlestar Galactica fan. Basically if you like the show you're going to like the DVD. I considered buying it new in stores but it was so expensive, like fifty-five dollars on average. I bought a used copy for around twenty-five at a local store, but you can get a good deal on a used copy on Ebay, too. It IS season 2.0, so it only has the first half of the season. (The second half hasn't been released on DVD yet.)The DVD also includes the podcasts, commentary about the episodes by Ronald D. Moore, for most of the episodes. It also has deleted scenes from almost all the episodes, which I really like because you can learn extra stuff about the characters that you didn't necesarily get in the show. For example, there's this one deleted scene in "Valley of Darkness" where you learn some more stuff about Starbuck's past. The commentaries also bring a lot of stuff to light that you might not have noticed or picked up on when watching the show. I rewatch the episodes on season 2.0 whenever I have time. Each time I see an episode again I notice new stuff about the plot or characters. Even though I've already seen all these episodes and know what's going to happen, they are still interesting the second time around - or the third, fourth, etc. Like I said, if you're a fan of the show, you're probably going to like the DVD. It has a lot of great extras and I highly recommend it. Plus you can get a good used copy on Ebay for a lot less than what you'd pay in a store.Read full review
The second war against the Cylons is over and The Twelve Colonies have been destroyed. Now Commander Adama of the Battlestar Galatica and President Laura Roslin lead a ragtag fleet of refugees in a supposed search for the fabled lost thirteenth colony, Earth. However, the dangers they face are many which compound an already difficult situation. In addition to The Cylons hunting and attacking the fleet in space; their infiltrator units carry out a more subtle plot even as their former unwitting pawn, Gaius Baltar, helps in the hunt for them while hiding both his own guilt and the strange presence that haunts his every thought. If that wasn't enough, the fleet also faces internal political conflict of which the rabble rousing figure Tom Zarek is merely the loudest dissenting voice. In the midst of these trials however, clues begin to appear that suggest that Adama's simple bluff about Earth may be more truthful than anyone knowing could have guessed.Read full review
An engaging series, yet lacks originality. Another Si-fi story of Machines/A.I. vs. humans that has been the subject for the past 30 years (Terminator, Person of Interest, Agebts of S.H.I.E.L.D. etc). Some episodes appear to be "fillers" -- but always have a seed of progression of the "search" for their destination. Nothing to deep -- just fun.
