Rating:  - The saga continues on.....
This is the third season of the new Battlestar Galactica. Any fan of the new show must have it. The excellent writing of the show continues and also continues to grip th viewer and leaves them wanting more!
Rating:  - Started out great, lost its footing, then tanked.
Don't bother buying this product. The first two seasons and Razor were great, but this season became disjointed and boring. First, there is too much Lee and Starbuck. Starbuck was initially my favorite character, but she is overused, and she and Lee have to just move on. Second, Moore and Eick came up with great story lines that they just dropped. For example, discrimination against the Sagitarons and the uniqueness of their culture, or the labor disputes and the desperate lives of people on the mining and farming ships. GREAT episodes that were just dropped. Moore and Eick seem to have a social sensibility, but they need to couple that with some sort of story arc. Third, I think the viewer can learn more about the writer/producers from show that the viewer may care to. All the "dawgs" are women. None of the men are. And the women are all hot. That's great, but ALL of them? Couple that with the fact that four seasons in and there are still no gay and lesbian people (other than hot chicks with each other) on the ship, and I feel I know these guys. There is no excuse for it. And Eick worked on the under rated Bionic Woman, which had Isiah washington in its cast. This exclusion seems to be at odds with Moore's clearly intelligent and progressive self. Fourth, I personally thought the trial of Baltar dragged on, and Lee's involvment in such a high profile trial was foolish.
But, Michael Hogan gave Emmy worthy performances, and I loved it when Laura Roslyn let loose on Baltar. This season is a huge let down. The show that gave us torture and stolen elections has turned into a soap opera with hot chicks naked with a man. So, don'y waste your money.

I was only two years old when the original show was on, but I remember seeing it in reruns. So I wasn't sure what to expect of the remake, Starbuck a woman? But it's even better than the original, of course over the years special affects have advanced. Season 3 finally fills you in on the additional Cylons (all accept one of course). Great Season can't wait for Season 4.
Rating: - Just adding my 2-cents
Okay, yes...this season started off with a bang, sailed through somewhat lethargically, dropping loose ends left and right (one wonders how they will ever be completely resolved in the final season), and peeters into a decrepit ending (the last episode was decent, actually), but it is still one of the best d*mn shows on television. Wow, wow, wow. Do you know how many people I've hooked on Battlestar? More than 10! :)
Rating: - This season has some of the best Battlestar Galactica episodes ever.
I am a big fan of this show. I actually only started watching it from the DVDs in 2007. Seasons 1 and 2 provided some of the best and smartest television that I've ever experienced, and season 3 continues that tradition.
If you've already watched seasons 1 and 2, I don't think there's anything that I can say here that will make you want to watch season 3 more than what you've already watched so far. Maybe you're here looking for reassurance that this season won't disappoint. I'll tell you this, I went through it in less than a week, 3 and sometimes 4 episodes at a time.
If you haven't seen seasons 1 and 2, then you shouldn't start with this season because this show has one story that started with the very first few minutes of the pilot mini-series and is still yet to fully unfold and reveal itself in the final fourth season.
Compared to seasons 1 and 2, season 3 falls a little slow in a few of the episodes in the middle, but the beginning and end of it is in my opinion stronger and more exciting.
You learn a lot about some characters in this season. Some characters die, while others undergo major events that alter their lives forever.
The finale of this season is the best so far in the series.
p.s. The 10-minute each "Resistance" webisodes should be watched first, but they are in the bonus features section on Disc 2.
