Editorial Review
Amazon.co.uk Review
There was an understandable mix of emotions bubbling to the surface when the final episode of Battlestar Galactica was finally broadcast in the first half of 2009. On the one hand, this has proven to be vintage science fiction television, easily one of the most ambitious, daring and flat-out successful TV projects in recent times. And on the other, it’s all over, with this box set bringing together the final episodes of the show.

Inevitably, this final season wraps up many of the mysteries and narrative questions of Battlestar Galactica, none of which we intend to spoil here. The fate of humanity, the hunt for the fabled earth and the further revelations about the Cylons are packed in, and the standard throughout this final season remains sky high.

The actual ending itself, as it happens, proved quite divisive, but arguably that’s part of the strength of Battlestar Galactica. Because this is a show that, right to the end, doesn’t take the easy road, and delivers some of the most intelligent, dark drama of recent years. It’s a staggering achievement, and this final season, along with the entirety of the show itself, is set to still be talked about decades into the future. Quite brilliant, and not to be missed. --Jon Foster

A fitting end to a great series - no spoilers, 2010-03-11
For tbe first 2 seasons of BSG I couldn't really see the fuss. I watched the whole thing on DVD and the first two seasons took me 2 years. I only occasionally watched an episode and rarely felt compelled to watch another straight away. There were high points, particularly the stand-off with Pegasus. But I didn't feel particular intrigued or interested in the characters.

But the slog was worth it because the character development in those first two seasons were essential for the immense satisfaction from Season 3 onwards. The complex multi-layered plots, fascinating characters, mystery. It has everything. I watched the final 3 seasons in about a month.

No spoilers here. Just to say for those in doubt, the final revelations are worth the wait. Most of the questions are resolved in a satisfying finale but it still remains fairly enigmatic.

Good, exciting, sit on edge of your seat stuff!, 2010-02-25
I have so far watched the 1st 2 episodes of this final series and its good - not sure whether is better then series 4 but it certainly has the potential.

If you like the Battlestar Galactica series - you will enjoy this.

Also It was delivered in very good time and in great condition.

fantastic, 2010-02-20
these are the fantastic last episodes of Battlestar Galactica
this is a MUST for all the fans of this series
the rhythm is fast as always
the actors play really very good

thats all folks, 2010-02-21
Not a usual storyline for a US show - basically God is directly responsible for the deaths of billions and billions of innocent men, women, and children in order to get a couple of thousand to Earth, most of whom are presumably telephone sanitisation engineers.

Looks like the TV/cinema version of SF has a way to go before it catches up with the "real stuff".
( although FAQ About Time Travel is brilliant, but probably not to the taste of most BSG stalwarts ).

undelivered, 2010-03-11
Unfortunately, I never received this item, but only the e-mail where it is stated that the "delivery was impossible". Strange, since it is the same address where I received dozens, litterally, of previous products purchased through Amazon.

Too bad, but it's like that....
