 Great series but.... May 6, 2008

I was turned off by the number of actors smoking in this series, a bit of a warning to parents who care about their children's health. This is a science fiction series and smoking would and should be totally unnecessary. The very public lack of scruples on this subject by the producer of this show unfortunately makes it impossible for me to recommend this otherwise excellent series.
Letter to studio heads from 31 Attorneys General, May 1, 2007
Each time a member of the [film] industry releases another movie that depicts smoking, it does so with the full knowledge of the harm it will bring to children who watch it.
I think this says it all.

But Best Buy has a better deal March 31, 2008
juan valdez (hamilton, canada)
This season moves us closer to the conslusion, leaving us with mny open questions but also answering many and further developing the characters.
The quality of the DVDs is good and it's nice to have the entire season in one package.
I found the price differntial between Amazon.ca and Amazon.com to be negligible and pretty-much eaten up by the cost of shipping from the US.
But right now at Best Buy it's the same price as Amazon.ca and there's a 32-page mini comic book.
Enjoy the story.
 Still the best March 20, 2008
Desmond Dapena (Halifax, NS, Canada)
Sure, Season 3 didn't reach quite the same dizzying heights as 1 and 2, but it's still way up there in the stratosphere. The opening New Caprica arc of this season is amazing, and while the rest of the season didn't quite live up to its brilliance, it's still Galactica, meaning better than 99% of everything else on TV. The mid season arc and the final few episodes were great, and really moved the story forward in new and exciting directions. The problem is that the filler episodes in between just don't work as well. It isn't that kind of show; part of the appeal of BSG is its serialized nature.
Fantastic season, great set March 19, 2008
Clinton K. Bernes (Canada)
Another top-notch quality Galactica set, no bait-and-switch with the 2.0-2.5 thing, no Razor included (which would have upset me with the double dip). Picture and sound quality is superb, another great archive of this fantastic series.
A great show tumbles in quality February 20, 2008

In short, season 3 is pretty lousy. Season 2 reached an apex with the brilliant mid-season cliffhanger, "Pegasus", and the show has never reached those heights since. Indeed, the cracks were starting to show by the end of that season, with a few real clunkers in the second half.
Season 3 feels rushed and short of ideas. One also can't help get the sense that the writers looked at the "dark, gritty and really well-constructed" praise for the previous seasons, and thought that the important parts were the "dark" and "gritty". The show frequently hits the viewer with the sledgehammer of doom and depression without bothering to check if the plots make sense, engage, or offer interesting character development. Sometimes it feels as though the writers have painted themselves into a corner with the occupation storyline, the relationships of Lee and Kara and (worst of all) the constant in-fighting of the Cylons. The last of these leaves the show reminding me of "V", whose later seasons became a ridiculous soap-opera with the visitors killing each other just as often as the resistance did. Gone are the days when the Cylons were a mysterious, dark, fascinating menace. Instead, we know them intimately, and they feel like a bunch of kooky religious pals armed with high-tech weaponry. They're no longer scary, and they're just one faction among many, which might be interesting in a Tolstoy novel, but doesn't really make for exciting TV drama. We're not really rooting for anyone anymore.
