The first half of Battlestar Galactica's second season left no doubts about the continuing excellence of the best science fiction TV series of 2005.

Thats from the first review a bit of the way down the page. It is just the first half of the season. trust me. The same is true for SG1 and Atlantis.

The first half..... let us hope so.

On the (possible) plus side. A long season means you cannot use the same writers for the entire run (no-one has that many ideas) you might get some consistency.

Something about most US tv which has always annoyed is the massive ups and downs in episode writing/plot quality. Since most of the crew will change between first and last episode the production style is going to change as well.

And finally AT you should be glad you don't live in the UK where we have 'series' of about half a dozen shows not 'seasons'.

The thing that got me the most was that they were selling an incomplete season. 10 episodes for $40.00 is just a rip off. Normally you would pay $40.00 for the ENTIRE season, not just half of it. Its a rip off and that is what got under my skin.

What appeared to be the "complete" 2nd season of BSG, 10 episodes, might well be only half of the season. So instead of buying the entire season for $40.00 to $60.00, you now have to shell out nearly $100.00. That is just excessive greed.

Most of the boxed sets I have seen are 70-80 dollars a season...

Man your really over paying if that is the case. I paid $44.00 for Season 1 of BSG, and about $45.00 apeace for all seven seasons of SG1 that I have. The same for B5, Crusader, 24, and the Saprano's.

Firefly was only $25.00, as was Space Above and Beyond.

The only series that know of that cost near or over a $100.00 are the Star Trek ones..... trying to bilk the fan ala Paramount style.
