Battlestar
Galactica Season 2.5
I just finished watching the 10 episodes in this spectacular second series
- Newsday calls Battlestar Galactica the best
drama on television - and they may be right depending on how you feel
about drama with science-fiction overtones.
For the most part, this is not shoot-em-up sci-fi - although the season
ends with a bang - it's a thoughtful, tension filled narrative with clearly
drawn characters and strong women at the center of each storyline.
I found the first season of Battlestar Galactica to be
highly enjoyable but a bit hard to get into - and I missed entirely the
first half of the second season and found I didn't need to have seen the
previous episodes to fully enjoy Season 2.5.
This second season is riveting after a slowish start - and the finale
has me wondering - where will they go with this and can I wait until the
next DVD release to find out what happens? (Keeping in mind, I don't do
appointment TV anymore.)
Edward James Olmos is rock solid as Commander Adama, giving the whole
affair the hardcore center it needs. Who's idea was it to put an actual
ACTOR in the lead of a sci-fi series?!? Let's have more of that. The production
values throughout are nothing short of spectacular.
Extras include numerous podcast commentaries and documentaries - so if
you're already a fan of the series, this collection is a must-have.
I can't recommend
this DVD collection highly enough. (For the record, I thought the original
1970/80's series was an abomination.)
