McEvoy "MCWPP" (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME) This review is from: Battlestar Galactica - Season One (DVD) This is one of the best shows on TV right now, according to many media outlets. "A Breakaway Hit!" -TV Guide and "The Best Show on Television." -Newsday are but two examples of the rave reviews it has received. If you are a sci-fi fan, this is a must-see show. If you aren't a sci-fi fan, you should still consider checking this out. Even though it's in space and has killer robots, it is more human than most other drama shows on TV today. So say we all. This box set includes the miniseries that re-launched this show and returned it to TV for the first time since the 1970's. It has the 4-hour miniseries and the 13 episodes from the first season. It stars Edward James Olmos as Commander Adama Captain of the Battlestar Galactica, and Mary McDonnell as the newly invested president of the 12 colonies of man. She was formerly the secretary of education. The Cylon's had not been heard from in years. Then in one day they attack and destroy nearly all human life in attacks on all planets and most military assets. Now with the war against the Cylon robots lost, the Battlestar Galactica crew speed toward the fabled 13th colony on a long lost planet, called Earth. Galactica Commander Adama and President Laura Roslin face waning supplies, crushed morale, ... and the credible threat Cylons aboard the ship. Cylons that look like humans now not just shiny machines. Humanity's children have come home and they are trying to destroy their creators. Some of the amazing cast are: Edward James Olmos as Commander William Adama Mary McDonnell as Laura Roslin Katee Sackhoff as Lt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace Jamie Bamber as Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama James Callis as Dr. Gaius Baltar Vice President Tricia Helfer as Number Six Grace Park as Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii Richard Hatch as Tom Zarek (The original Apollo) Tahmoh Penikett as Lt. Karl C. "Helo" Agathon Michael Hogan as Col. Saul Tigh Aaron Douglas as CPO Galen "Chief" Tyrol Alessandro Juliani as Lt. Felix Gaeta Kandyse McClure as P02 Anastasia Dualla Paul Campbell as Billy Keikeya This cast works so well together, that after the miniseries they rewrote parts of the series to give the "Chief" a much larger role. This series will draw you in and capture your imagination. It is full of religious symbols and images. There are visions, prophecies, and sacred scrolls. It is a drama of the most intense nature. Check it out, you will watch the DVD's over and over again. The best Sci-fi series since Babylon 5. 537 of 595 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best shows on television regardles of genre..., July 25, 2005 By Jim (St. Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
