I've been watching the entire series again on bluray and I have to say with certainty that the three episodes from season 2 with Admiral Cain (Pegasus, Resurrection Ship part I and II) are among my absolute favorite from the entire series. Michelle Forbes fricking hit a grand slam out of the ballpark in her performance as Cain. What a fantastic job she did exuding authority and intimidation! The space battle between the cylon fleet and the colonial fleet is awe insipiring and the very end when Roslin makes Adama an admiral was so powerful.

I'm so glad I held off on getting the standard BSG dvd's and instead just bought this complete bluray boxed set.

You didn't wait long! I was intending to give it another year before watching that one through but I may revise that if I get a nice media room set up in the new house

The thing that gave me a completely new appreciation of BSG was Bear McCreary's blog. If you've never seen it it's one of the finest blogs on the internet, especially if you're a musician (of any sort) or have any interest in film scores. I am learning the piano and it's great that he adds pieces of the score to most of his entries; I very much enjoyed the postings regarding someone to watch over me in February this year. It's a shame I never got to see any of the live Galactica orchestral concerts but if one ever makes it up to the Pacific Northwest I'll certainly be going along.

Check out the Eddie Olmos video interview on the August 2nd posting.

Only been two tv shows that I 'had' to watch every week because they were so good. X-Files & BSG.

I finished Season 1 on Monday. I thought it was good. I looked at the Best Buy website and it appears they have Season 2 broken into two parts? 2.0 and 2.5 The price on each part is 44.99. That's $90.00 for one season and no way would I spend that for one season of DVD's. It's only 3 DVD's in each part. Is this true?

Check Amazon, the dvd's are much cheaper there but yes, season 2 is broken up into two different boxed sets. 2.0 and 2.5. I know, it's all stupid marketing crap.

Bastards!!!!!!!

Dang, I bet the battle in Res Ship 2 looks great on blu-ray. These 3 are great episodes.

You better believe it! It really was stunning how crisp and vibrant the battle looked with all of the projectiles flying in space, the explosions, etc.

Well, I just ordered "The Plan" on Blu-Ray plus "Star Trek" (new movie), haven't seen either. They will be my first Blu-Rays, after having the player for several months (yes, I know that's sad).

I plan on picking up Star Trek on Bluray on Tuesday. I loved seeing it at the theatre.
