Product 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.'

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.

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.

Amazon really should not insult their customers intelligence by advertising this as a 'Complete' set of Seasons 1-4, given that anyone with any interest in this superb show will know it still has over half a season to go and the remaining episodes won't be shown on TV until next year!
Buy the recently released Season 4 Part 1 set instead....

Great show but poorly executed DVD box set
Yes, it was a fantastic show. Unfortunately it was not the complete series as it was originally advertised on Amazon. Most episodes from season 4 were missing. Read more

Great deal
Dirt cheap. I combined this with Battlestar Galactica - The Final Season and it has it all. Sure it may not be as flashy as an "ultimate set" but it has everything you need. Read more
