Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

The first half of Battlestar Galactica's second season left no doubts about the continuing excellence of the best science fiction TV series of 2005. Beginning with the Colonial Fleet separated, Col. Tigh (Michael Hogan) botching his temporary command, and Capt. Adama (Edward James Olmos) near death after a Cylon assassination attempt, series producer/developer Ronald D. Moore and his gifted writing staff packed more into these 10 episodes than most series manage in a full season. Maintaining its reputation as an adult drama, the series is compellingly anchored by the gravitas of Olmos and Mary McDonnell, whose role as Fleet President Laura Roslin grows more complex as she reveals her diagnosis of breast cancer and defies Adama, playing the "religious card" with her conviction that prophetic visions will lead the embattled fleet toward its legendary home planet Earth. As Adama's son Apollo (Jamie Bamber) wrestles with his role in Roslin's mutinous agenda, paranoia runs high as Cylon copies (or "avatars") of Boomer (Grace Park) complicate matters aboard Galactica and on Kobol, where a lost Raptor crew struggles to survive and Dr. Baltar (James Callis) endures the increasingly haunting and manipulative intrusions into his tormented psyche by Number Six (Tricia Helfer), the seductive Cylon who holds the secret to the Cylon master plan to destroy humankind.

Further action takes place on Cylon-occupied Caprica, where Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) and Helo (Tamoh Penikett) discover a group of human resistance fighters who survived the Cylons' nuclear attack in season 1. As all of these plot threads are expertly interwoven, the high-stakes conflict of BG 2.0 culminates in a suspenseful mid-season cliffhanger that pits Adama against Admiral Cain (played by Star Trek: Next Generation alumnus Michelle Forbes), who turns a happy reunion with Battlestar Pegasus into a massive military showdown. Through all of this, Battlestar Galactica maintains consistently high standards of intelligent drama and well-justified, story-based use of spectacular special effects, while developing rich relationships across a broad spectrum of interesting supporting characters. The series' large and likable cast is well-used throughout (even smaller roles are given adequate dimension), and Moore's "podcast" commentaries provide a smart, thorough analysis of the show's writing process and conceptual evolution. Yes, it's undeniably true that this half-season DVD set is a blatantly commercial ploy to lure more and more viewers into the ongoing season (which resumed in January 2006), but you can hardly blame Universal for capitalizing on a high-quality series. With solid ratings, good scripts, and a devoted cast and crew, Battlestar Galactica showed every indication of thriving toward a third season and beyond. --Jeff Shannon

4.0 out of 5 stars Great show!!, April 27 2006
By Jeff (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Wow, ANOTHER great sci-fi show! I'm not too big on the genre but this got me hooked! More of a drama than anything else. Now, what is "2.0" you ask?? It's the FIRST HALF of Season 2. Yes, they split the season up on DVD, like they did with Sex and the City Season 6. So there are 20 episodes in season 2. This set is 1-10, the next set, "2.5", will have 11-20, plus the rumoured extended cut of Pegasus. Hope this review helps you, so you won't get any narsty surprises to find half of a season (at this time, it doesn't look like a complete second season DVD is coming out) when watching.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great season, or should I say, HALF a season, April 25 2006
By Stanley Lui (Waterloo, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This modern interpretation of Battlestar Galactica has been one of the great joys of modern television. Saddened as I was by the aging and/or cancellation of many genre shows of late, it was a suprise, to put it mildly, to see that a remake could be so fresh and original! This DVD set should have been among the best out there, and it very nearly was.

What spoiled my enjoyment was the discovery -- after the purchase -- that this only included half the season! Once again, for those who understandably skipped the detailed review to avoid spoilers: SEASON 2.0 CONTAINS ONLY THE FIRST HALF OF SECOND SEASON. This should have been made clear on the box ("2.0"? Try "2.1", or better yet, "Season 2 Part 1" like everyone else). Having said that, the per episode cost of this set is comparable to the last one, so it's still a good value, and still recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unlike most other DVD's, this is not a rip off; its worth it!
Season 1 is currently $67.96 for 13 episodes and the mini series. That works out to $5.22 per episode if you don't count the mini-series; or $4. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars don't buy this DVD
This DVD is only the first 10 episodes. The next 10 will be solf as season 2.5. WAIT as it will probably come in a box set for much less money. What a RIP OFF.
