After the greatest dissapointment of Season Three (in my humble opinion), I decided to not watch Season Four. But, heck, I could not resits the curiosity and bought both halves of the season.
First of all, I'd like to say that, no matter what TV show it is, it's simply not possible for the producers to release masterpiece after masterpiece episode. It just doesn't work that way. Time schedule is unbeliavable tight, the ratings pressure everybody all the time, there can be internal negotiations for cast and crew salaries, etc, etc, etc... So, the producers simply aim for the best. But there's no guaranteee that it will be the best. Otherwise, we coould not voice our opinions that "seasons 3 and 4 of that show are the best"
That said, even acknoledging that Ronald Mooore, Jane Espenson (from Buffy)and team tried their best, there are some plot decisions that make you think: "this is simple arrogance". Meaning: the producers start to think: "We can make any twists and write anything we want, because our show is brilliant and flawless. People will love it". Wrong.
This happened with Galactica. From a breathtaking sci-fi/drama TV show, packed with mind-numbing action and tension, without forgetting about character development, it turned into a unbashed space soap opera. Up until the middle of this season, things had potential. The mutiny episodes were nail-bitting, the demise of lovely Gaeta (although reasonably fair by military standards) was a shock, things were going well.
Then, suddenly, we enter into full soap opera mode. Yes, I agree, Ellen as the fifth cylon was lame, lame, lame, lame. If they did not have spent all the first half of the season saying "one is to be revealed", it was ok. But they build such a hype, that the disclosure, no matter how good it could have been, was a let down. Then we have the "Hera" situation, again an old plot used all around in sitcoms.
But the real, real sin was: by explaining everything (well, almost everything) due to sobrenatural reasons (God), the show made us feel like fools. A lot, (I mean, a LOT) of things that happened in apst episodes were rendered useless. It practically turned the last seasons impossible to watch again.
Anyway, I prefer to remember this show as a great one, where Edward James Olmos clearly had the role of his life and gave his best. Sure, Seasons 3 and 4 had a lot of bad moments, but a lto of great ones also and, in the long run, it was something very special.

Great end to a great TV show! Amazon always has the best prices too which makes it even better!

There is a warning on each of the discs - "because blu-ray is a new technology all features might not work, check with your manufacturer". Come ON! Blu-ray is not that new. As it is, my blu-ray player is a Toshiba and purchased summer 2008. Each disc gets stuck after the play of one episode and I must manually turn the blu-ray off by unplugging it, and then turn it back on and watch the next episode. Also, the quality is no better than my other seasons on regular DVD. Waste of money! This doesn't surprise me as the whole season is one big marketing gimmick the way they kept splitting the seasons to get more money out of people.

Altough the opinions on the finale are somewhat controversial, this remains a great series. Certainly one of the best shows of the later years.
Ever since the the mini series, where the Humanoid Cylon copies marched in with Boomer at the end, I have been anticipating every single episode. Of course, not all are top-notch in the story. Certainly the third season has some weak moments, as the procuders wanted to have more stand-alone episodes. Luckely they've abandonned that idea in the fourth season and continued with the story arc as is should be.
The DVD contains a number of extra's, some docu-type stuff but most notably a few extended episodes. That alone makes the price worthwhile!
After watching the last episode I was a bit sad, because now, the story has ended: no more eager anticipations for the next episode and I haven't seen another series yet as replacement....
Frak!

by now I am a confirmed fan of Battle Star Galactica. this last series culminates an extremely exciting part of my viewing life. I believe the writers and directors have wrapped up the series and a wonderful fashion. The dénouement of the characters as well as the discovery of new places to live the end of the war and the amalgamation of the 2 nations comes off very well in this series. I recommend this is the last installment of what has obviously become the seminal science fiction television program.
