Battlestar Galactica: Season 3 Edward James Olmos 2007 DVD Top-quality

Complete third series of the re-imagined American sci fi television series, where the pilots of the Galactica spacecraft battle against the evil Cylons, cyborg creatures that originally served mankind, but who now want humanity destroyed. After losing the initial battles, with all the colonies destroyed, mankind’s last hope is to search for the fabled home planet of Earth. In this series, Commander Adama has to decide whether to return to New Caprica to mount a rescue mission for the beleaguered resistance. Episodes comprise: ‘Occupation’, ‘Precipice’, ‘Exodus: Part 1’, ‘Exodus: Part 2’, ‘Collaborators’, ‘Torn’, ‘A Measure Of Salvation’, ‘Hero’, ‘Unfinished Business’, ‘The Passage’, ‘The Eye Of Jupiter’, ‘Rapture’, ‘Taking A Break From All Your Worries’, ‘The Woman King’, ‘A Day In The Life’, ‘Dirty Hands’, ‘Maelstrom’, ‘The Son Also Rises’, ‘Crossroads: Part 1’ and ‘Crossroads: Part 2’.
Lets get straight to the point: bar none, Battlestar Galactica is the best science fiction television programme currently showing. In fact, lets go further. Its the best of the last decade. And truthfully? Youd find very few sci-fi fans whod disagree.
Whats more, plenty of people must be busy eating their words, too. Back when it was announced that Battlestar Galactica was being revived, feelings were mixed, not helped by the divided reaction to the mini-series that kickstarted this iteration of the show. Yet over the past couple of years, its cleverly proven to be a tense, gripping mix of action and drama, with a tightly-woven plot.
This third season? Its arguably the best so far. A delicious soup of mystery, relevations, actions, striking characters and winding narrative, Battlestar Galactica is also served superbly well by a quality cast, some quality special effects, and a real focus on what matters from behind the camera.
As usual, there are no spoilers in this review, although its not giving much away to say that the deadly cylons have to share the screen time with some intriguing and revealing character development this time round. And with word that season four of the revived Battlestar Galactica will be the last, things are set up for a terrific final act.
Season three of the show though is extraordinarily good, a real, genuine sci-fi classic thats going to have one mighty shelf life once this particularly iteration of the programme has gone. And with umpteen surprises to go back and check out, its never likely to be one to gather dust on the shelf, either.
