DVD Reviews of Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.5 (Episodes 11-20)
DVD Review: Outstanding Science Fiction!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never seen a series, before Battlestar, that constantly kept me on the edge of my seat. Anticipation was constantly a part of my week, waiting for the next episode.
DVD Review: Well crafted and stark science fiction
Summary: 4 Stars
This has to be the most intense science fiction ever viewed, the music, the acting, the plots, the characters, and the communications style, all intense, all subtle and irreverent, yet deeply and emotionally reaching. However, it would be strongly recommended that this not be presented to children; the drama, the character interplay and the intimacies therein are highly charged, sometimes graphic, sometimes base, and sometimes beautific in nature, but all very mature, if not borderng on the sensually debauched. Although I believe this has to be one of the best choreographed science fiction series of all time, particularly the writing and character interaction, all said, this is one of the most intelligent representations for its Genre.DVD Review: Sci fi at its lamest
Summary: 1 Stars
Slightly better than Stargate SG, doesn't compare to Star Trek the Next Generation or otherwise. The characters are weak and are not developed well. Try another show like Heroes, which has some stronger characters. DVD Review: After such a good start, Season 2 takes a turn for the worst.
Summary: 2 Stars
Last season (2.0) saw the beginning of the "Pegasus" trilogy ending with the first episode "Pegasus". This season (2.5) includes an extended cut of "Pegasus" and moves on to the following two episodes "Resurrection Ship, Parts I & II". The trilogy started off so well with "Pegasus" and even the first part of "Resurrection Ship" wasn't bad, but part two is when things start to fall apart. The only episodes worth watching in this season (2.5) is the last four episodes, and maybe even the the first few, but most of them were crap! Crappy plots and no real action. Disappointing.DVD Review: The end of a good ride
Summary: 4 Stars
BSG was frustrating because it was an intelligent show, made for smart people to enjoy and think about...and yet the story line was full of holes big enough to fly a Battlestar through. The biggest one for me was Baltar surviving the blast (in the miniseries) that leveled his house. They show that blast at the beginning of every show, and every time, I think: how did he walk away from that? Next time we see him, he's in a crowd hoping to hitch a ride with Helo and Sharon. The Pegasus episode reminded me of half a dozen STNG epidsodes, where some power-mad admiral gets taken down by Picard (against orders, of course). It's a shame they went that route, rather than having two battlestars working together...and keeping Michelle Forbes on the show. I quit watching BSG when it irretrievably jumped the shark in Season 3. Too many plot holes to ignore, too much soap opera, the writers obviously never figured out what the Cylons' plan was, or what their motivation was. Just a mess. Too bad. But Seasons 1 and 2 showed what television drama is capable of.

The $25 Million Breakaway Hit Returnsto DVD in Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound! DVD Exclusive - Extended MidseasonCliffhanger Episode PegasusOver 10 Hours of Bonus Content!System Requirements:Running Time: 190 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:?NR UPC:?025192983320 Manufacturer No:?29833Battlestar Galactica's season 2.5 (i.e., the final 10 episodes of the second season, plus an extended version of episode 10) picks up where season 2.0 (the first 10 episodes) left off: Galactica's giddy reunion with the Pegasus had taken a sour turn when Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) went back on her word to Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) and decided to integrate the crews, moving Apollo (Jamie Bamber) and Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) to Pegasus. The animosity, combined with an attack on Sharon (Grace Park), threatens to derail a golden opportunity for the fleet to strike the Cylons where they'll hurt, and stay hurt--their resurrection ship.
In many ways, Sharon is the central character. The attack lands Helo (Tahmoh Penikett) and the Chief (Aaron Douglas) in hot water; her impending baby remains the subject of heated debate among president Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell), Commander Adama, and others; and a rebellious movement determined to force Galactica to give up the Cylon ends up threatening both Apollo and Starbuck and putting further strain on their already-shaky relationship. Dr. Baltar (James Callis) becomes even more intertwined with the Cylons when he discovers another version of Number Six (Tricia Helfer) on the Pegasus, but is also in line to take over the presidency as Roslin's cancer reaches a critical stage. Battlestar Galactica's inexorable dramatic arc sagged in a couple episodes during this run, but the terrific two-part season finale involving a presidential election, a glimmer of hope for humanity, and some unexpected turns of events makes for a thrilling springboard to season 3. Battlestar is often called the best sci-fi show on television, but that seems like damning it with faint praise; it's the best drama on television.
In addition to the 10 episodes, the three-DVD set has an extended version of the last episode of season 2.0, "Pegasus"; the extra 15 minutes include a longer conversation in which Cain reveals her plans to Adama. That episode has a commentary track by executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, Moore's podcast commentaries are on every other episode, Eick's "video blogs" serve as casual featurettes on series production, and there are numerous deleted scenes. --David Horiuchi
