Editorial Review: Description: The adventure of one of television's finest dramas continues with the complete third season of the Peabody Award-winning Battlestar Galactica. The Colonies' survivors have found their hopes of eluding their Cylon pursuers dashed by an invasion and occupation of their new home. As the fate of all human life hangs in the balance, friends become enemies, enemies become unexpected allies, and decisions are made that will haunt some people for the rest of their lives. Relive all 20 episodes of the season that challenges everything you thought you knew about the Battlestar Galactica universe. Presented in Dolby 5.1 surround sound, the 6-disc set features over 15 hours of extensive special features, including the DVD exclusive version of the episode "Unfinished Business" containing 25 additional minutes of never-before-seen footage. You won't want to miss a minute of the series considered "one of the best dramas on TV" (Time Magazine). Amazon.com: The third season of Battlestar Galactica got off to a rip-roaring start on New Caprica, where the settlers had found themselves under Cylon occupation at the end of the previous season. Dr. Baltar (James Callis) had been elected President based on his intention to stop looking for Earth and settle on New Caprica, but is now a puppet of the Cylons, forced to sign execution orders for numerous humans, including former President Roslin (Mary McDonnell). A resistance movement is building, however, led by Col. Tigh (Michael Hogan), and assisted by Chief Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) and Samuel Anders (Michael Trucco). Tigh's desperate tactics--including suicide bombers--raise interesting parallels to the U.S. war in Iraq, and he finds he has to make an even tougher choice. Thanks to Admiral Adama's (Edwards James Olmos) return and the unexpected help of Boomer (Grace Park), the colonists escape, then begin a series of trials in order to convict all of the Cylon collaborators, culminating in the explosive trial of Baltar himself. In a boxing-metaphor episode, Apollo (Jamie Bamber) and Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) resume their mutual attraction with a surprising outcome. After the exciting beginning, Battlestar Galactica sagged a little in the middle of the third season (as it did in the second season) with its ship-bound episodes, but caught speed again at the end. The quest to find Earth, the unexpected loss of a major character, and the revealing of four of the final five Cylons kept viewers coming back to a series that blends action, drama, and universal questions of loyalty, faith, and justice in a way that transcends the science-fiction setting. With Dean Stockwell, Lucy Lawless, and Tricia Helfer as Cylons 1, 3, and 6, Mark Sheppard as defense attorney Romo Lampkin, Alessandro Juliani as Lt. Gaeta, Kandyse McClure as Petty Officer "Dee" Dualla, Nicki Clyne as Crewman Specialist Cally, Kate Vernon as Ellen Tigh, and Rekha Sharma as presidential aide Tory Foster. Every episode on the DVD set has executive producer Ronald Moore's podcast commentaries (occasionally joined by others) and almost every episode has deleted scenes, including a different (and less effective) version of the season's final surprise. Also included are bonus commentaries, the Resistance webisodes (10 episodes, 26 minutes total) that provide more of life on occupied New Caprica, executive producer David Eicks' "video blog" featurettes, and an extended version of "Unfinished Business" (mostly adding non-Starbuck-Apollo material). --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Very Entertaining!Got this as a gift for my husband and he really enjoyed it. He can't wait for season 4 to come out! Rating: - pretty goodPretty entertaining and interesting with a variety of plot twists. Didn't care for some of the "filler" episodes (e.g. "Hero"). A much better buy for the price than seasons 2 or 2.5. Rating: - Battlestar Galactica season 3Battlestar Galactica - Season Three Season three starts on New Caprica with bonus web episodes, Resistance, to whet the appetite for the first full ep of season three. All in all this pack is full of extras, more than you find on any other TV shows DVD pack. It's a full season pass, both with the actors and producers but the rest of the Galactica team, who make this one of the best shows in television history, and I aint just talking sci-fi here. The high points as always is Olmos, Sackoffe and McDonnell, ... Read More Rating: - Fell Short of Season 2's Magnificence - Still GreatI watched Battlestar Galactica differently than most people did. I dislike commercials, and I dislike long delays in between storylines. So what I did was wait to even start watching Battlestar Galactica until season 3 was complete - knowing at that point that season 4 was going to be the last season produced - and then I got all three seasons in their entirety and watched them pretty much start to end in a row. This meant I could see all the tiny references between shows and seasons clearly (since I literally ... Read More Rating: - BSG3 is the finest season of TV EVERFrom the first part to the end, season 3 is extraordinary TV. The new home followed by the invasion was suspenseful, difficult, intriguing and just about any other superlative you can throw at it. Col Tigh, Roslin, Chief, Starbuck are all in top form for this season. Lee Adama, while not in top physical form, nonetheless plays a key role as well. From the ultrahot #6 to the other cylons we've all known to love and hate, the action and drama are both equally on display. I know I will see this whole series again ...
