Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series
By Andrew Dowler

The last humans, pursued and infiltrated by their genocidal robot foes, the Cylons, become intergalactic refugees hunting for their mythical home world, Earth. Tensions ebb and flow between the Galactica’s Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos) and the refugees’ civilian president (Mary McDonnell).

Believable drama, moral complexity, strong acting, compelling action scenes and a fast-paced hand-held style drive the show through an opening miniseries and four seasons to a highly satisfying finale.

The extensive commentaries and making-of docs are fine, but the real prize in the extras are the five extended episodes, including fan favourite Razor.

Set comes with Cylon statuette.

Available for $229.99 at HMV, 333 Yonge and other locations. 416-586-9668. hmv.ca

I wish I hadn't already bought the individual DVD boxes or I would totally be getting this for myself.
