Battlestar Galactica balances its striking special effects with character-driven drama and social commentary to create a show that's both entertaining and relevant. This critical favourite from Ronald D. Moore (Star Trek: The Next Generation) re-imagines the cult series from the 1970s with a new cast and more impressive villains. It also eschews the sunny outlook of Star Trek in favor of a darker vision of space and humanity as it comments on issues such as terrorism and civil liberties. Androids called Cylons have massacred billions of people, leaving only a small group of survivors. Led by Oscar nominees Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, the human fleet searches for a mythical planet called Earth as they evade the Cylons. Includes the first half of season four.

******WARNING****** DISC 1 = ''Razor'' (the BSG spin-off film) with extented highlights.
If you have previoulsy rented the film there is not much point in seeing this 1st disc. Yes it has extended highlights, yes it has bonus material... but really it's just fodder to fill the discs for this season due to the writter's strike.
*** Make sure you watch this series from Season 1 ***
Well, that was pretty obvious, but it has to be said just in case! No real point in renting this if you have never seen it before. There is a very large plotline before this season which has got us to this point. Frankly, you'd be missing out big time if you didn't catch up 1st.
And now to those who are loyal follower's of this epic adventure:
This Season wont answer all your questions. In fact 2009/10 will supposedly be the final season. However, if you have got enjoyment like I have over the battle between humankind & Cylon... you wont be dissapointed. Personally, the 2nd half of season 2 was unbeatable. Season 4 however does not loose any of it action or twists. Season 4 has kept me hooked. Apparently there are 10 final episodes from this season, now labelled Season 5.
Clearly this review can only mean one thing, depending which camp you fall into..... * If your hooked on BSG 1,2,3 - this wont let you down, continue your addiction! * If you have never seen BSG, maybe you have been told about it, don't start here... go back, rent season 1,2,3 ... then I'll cya here!
I'm not sure with regard to this series, it does seem not to have the depth which the other series had. More hurried and less well constructed. Maybe the next part of the series will redeem it.
