 Battlestar Galactica The Complete 3rd Season DVD January 8, 2008
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
Battlestar Galactica Season 3 DVD boxset was indeed released in Australia in November and in September in the UK. However, neither versions had any bonus features, none at all.
Battlestar Galactica Season Three DVD extras (R1):
-Deleted Scenes (on all 6 discs)
-Ronald Moore's Podcast Commentaries (on all 6 discs)
-Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance Webisodes (on Disc 2)
-David Eick's Video Blogs (on Discs 2, 3 and 6)
-'Hero' Commentary with Executive Producer David Eick (on Disc 3)
-'Unfinished Business' Unaired, Extended Cut Commentary with Executive Producer Ronald Moore (on Disc 3)
So R1 gets the best deal even if the release date is late.
Wow -- Take it easy on the guy from Australia ! January 8, 2008

Jeepers VA and UK ! -- before you go "flagging" a guys review as inappropriate, spend 5 seconds to google - Yes, season 4 was indeed released in Australia Nov 21 2007! My co-worker got a copy while there at Christmas on the off-chance that it would play on his US DVD player (it does not). I put a sample url at the bottom this review ( -- apologies to Australia Guy on behalf of VA guy and UK guy ...)
As for the writers' strike postponing the release of Season 3, I've heard this, but it sounds like an internet rumour, and I have not found any real verification of it. As far as I've found (reading about other DVD releases), the strike only affects DVD's for shows filmed after the writers went on strike. So, technically, they could release to DVD the 8 or so shows they already filmed in Season 4. Let's hope they get to finish the series somehow.
David Huber's review below (or is it "above" ?) says it all.
I disagree with CornHolio (Australia Guy) -- I thought Season 4 was at least as good as the others. I wasn't a fan of the "courtroom drama" episodes, but there were some fantastic episodes in Season 4.
However I do agree with CornHolio -- I do think he'd have a crack at Tricia Helfer -- we can all agree on that.

It just keeps getting better every season! January 8, 2008
Before I saw Season 3, I had heard mixed reviews. I also have to admit, I was skeptical at first, but it delivered. Battlestar Galactica is the best television show of any kind in so, so many years. This season is no exception: character development, story line, action, suspense. My only complaint is that there was such an unnecessarily long delay in releasing this season on DVD in the US.

Some of the best writing in TV is in Battlestar Galactica. As well as some of the best acting.
All seasons have been great, but this one is particularly excellent - the characters and the people are truly struggling and striving to survive. Not a season of space battles, like the previous ones, but a season of introspection and character development. As well as a fair number of plot twists and "Whoa! I didn't see that coming!" moments.
I am constantly amazed at the depth of the writing in this series. It is filled with creative and complicated plot lines; many plot twists; and terse writing that is so efficient, that I often have to rewind and listen to a part of a scene again to get all the words. This series has the least amount of exposition of any show I remember seeing. It can make following what's happening difficult, but it makes for far more exciting and interesting story telling.
If you are new to Battlestar Galactica, I suggest that you start with the movie and then work your way through the seasons. The episodes don't exist very well on their own, since they are all intertwined in one grand narrative that one needs to watch from the beginning.
I think this series is brilliant. And not just as a science fiction fan, but also as a fan of writing and story telling in general. Technically, Battlestar Galactica is excellent. The story line is also compelling, watching a small group of human beings trying to find their way back to their ancestral planet of earth while they deal with issues of religion, mythology, lost and altered history, and fight their own mechanical creations which are more fundamentalistically religious than the human who created them.
Great stuff!
Great series, this is the most complicated portion of the story's arc... January 8, 2008

Excellent series, nothing better (in terms of fiction) being released on television right now. The series deals with complex and even difficult issues and does so well without becoming preachy or boring.
Season 3 is the lowest ebb in the story arc as many reviews all over the place will indicate. The quality isn't any lower than the previous two seasons by any means, but the stories and the flow of them do make for a slower paced experience than seasons 1 and 2. Season 4 should be one to remember.
Aussie guy is misinformed - he thinks the movie that came out is the series. Ignore the review or flag as inappropriate due to the misleading statements.
