Battlestar Galactica - Season 4.0 Reviews:
The Beginning of the End...
2009-11-02 - The beginning of the end of the best television series I've ever seen. Season 4 picks up immediately after Season 3's awesome finale without skipping a beat and proceeds to blow us away more and more. One of the coolest things about Battlestar Galactica is that unlike many other TV series, whereby the third or fourth season, we just watch it out of habit or to see what happens, Battlestar keeps giving us more and more of a reason to watch. The action and drama don't stop and we are drawn in even more than before as new revelations come about. Another thing I particularly enjoy about Battlestar is that the mysteries are cool and pretty clever, unlike some shows like LOST, where they seem to be tacked-on and have no backbone. The character development continues on as well, seeing our favorites take unexpected turns, twists and even drops. I had better stop here and just say that this a very worthwhile purchase. While it is unfortunate that the box sets for Seasons 2 and 4 were split into two, making us pay more to get them, the show is so good it makes up for it... at least for me. Enjoy.

Getting to Earth
2009-11-01 - Season 4 of the Battlestar Galactica remake begins with a bang and ends with a whimper. The first episode begins with Starbucks' miraculous return to the fleet. Quickly we see the murder of Cally, the growing friendship of Galen and Balter, Baltar's admission of guilt over the destruction of the colonies, and Baltar's growing cult-like status. The final episode ends with a whimper as the fleet reaches Earth, only to discover that it has been ravaged by nuclear war. Taken together, this season probably has more major events packed into such few episodes than any of the other episodes. It is quite a testimony to the skills and abilities of the writers and directors. Along the way, we have several great space battles, several key betrayals, and an illicit relationship between Tigh and a Six model. All told, a great viewing experience.

2009-10-06 - My purchase arrived in a timely manner, packaging was exactly as described and in working order.

Battlestar Galactica, Season 4.0
2009-09-18 - Battlestar Galactica is one of the best Si- Fi series that I have seen. It is extremely well written and most enjoyable to watch. I really got involved in the lives of the characters and look forward to what happens next. I did not see this series on TV, but was turned-on to it by my adult Daughter- through the DVD's. I can't wait to see the final season!

This went a direction I didn't expect
2009-09-07 - I did not see season 4 of BSG so I bought the series and began watching it from the beginning (having watched the first 3 seasons on broadcast TV) because I hadn't seen any BSG episodes since the end of the third season. Without going into details (others surely have already done this), I'll give you the synopsis to help you decide.

As this season opened up, a little review and then onward and upward. I was floored at the revelations of the "final five", quite unexpected, and some of the twists and turns as a result ere quite well thought out. The story arc moved forward at a reasonable pace, but in some places seemed a bit rushed and left some things dangling.

But regardless, this first half of the season was quite engaging and the level of production remains high and consistent. The writing, too, was very good, though sometimes it fell into a bit of a rut in the stereotyping of reactions and was a bit predictable in some ways. However, that doesn't deter from the overall story and its progression.

The extras were a bit weak in some ways, and sometimes seemed pointless. But that is typical in many ways. I don't buy series for their extras, though when they are well thought out, they do add to the overall understanding.

I also got 4.5 so I'll review that as well.
