DVD Description
Unlike some other territories which are releasing Battlestar Galactica as “Season 4.0” and “Season 4.5”, the UK are following Sky1’s broadcast transmission, whereby the first 10 episodes are “Season 4” with the remainder next year as “The Final Season,” a sneak peek of which is featured on the Season 4 DVD release.

Synopsis
Battlestar Galactica balances its striking special effects with character-driven drama and social commentary to create a show that's both entertaining and relevant. This critical favourite re-imagines the cult series from the 1970s with a new cast and more impressive villains. It also eschews the sunny outlook of Star Trek in favor of a darker vision of space and humanity as it comments on issues such as terrorism and civil liberties. Androids called Cylons have massacred billions of people, leaving only a small group of survivors. Led by Oscar nominees Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, the human fleet searches for a mythical planet called Earth as they evade the Cylons. Features the first four series of the show, which includes the Battlestar Galactica mini-series and the extended episode 'Razor.'

3.0 out of 5 stars Wait a few more months for the real Complete series., 22 Sep 2008
Great series, but who in their right mind is gonna buy this boxset? If you want to invest in the complete series box set then wait a few months when you'll get the COMPLETE series, including the full season 4 (23 episodes) and the forthcoming TV movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete, 12 Sep 2008
By Mr. D. Smith "rockstar" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Word of warning to any new viewers expecting the complete series, this set contains only the episodes made up to now, another ten FINAL episodes will air early 2009 to round off the series in full.
Despite this, a well made, gritty, dark reinvention of the classic series from the 70's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the fact it's only 3 1/2 seasons... packaging is for wimps!, 9 May 2009
By J. Fielder "the_jazzdevil" (on the sofa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Everyone else has said it, yes this is only season 1 to the mid-season break of season 4 (including the Miniseries that kicked the whole show off and the Razor TV movie)... and yes, if you buy this you'll still need to buy another disc-set to have the whole series.

If not having every disc in one big box bugs you or you just plain need to take up more shelf space in your home in some kind of misplaced self validation, DON'T BUY IT. If, on the other hand, you just want to watch what is essentially the pinnacle of genre TV at a stunningly knock-down decent price - BUY IT, WATCH IT, LOVE IT!

That is all.
