    Two above-average episodes of the series squished together and helmed by a really disappointing protagonist, dull as dishwater and with a performance to match. Ultimately, this is a good view for the diehard fans, and has an interesting reveal about Starbuck in the last few minut...( read more)es, but you can probably skip it and live a life of comparable richness.

    It was good to see Helena Cain again, though. By far the best guest character BSG ever had (unless you count Ellen, who I am totally obsessed with even though she did nothing). I haven't watched the fourth season yet so I don't know if they have any stunning new additions, but no one else ever really matched Michelle Forbes's presence on the series.

    Not as good as the original miniseries, but still way better than 90% of TV

    An AMAZING series, full of relevant issues (both social & political).

    An important part of the Battlestar mythos, and a must-have for any fan.

    A film good enough to stand alone on its own merits separate from the series. Viewed through the narrative thread of a young officer, Kendra Shaw (Stephanie Chaves-Jacobsen) we follow the story of the Pegasus from just before the Pearl-Harbor style attack on the Colonial Fleet t...( read more)o various regrettable incidents along the way perpetrated by the Pegasus and her crew. The mythology of the series is fleshed out further, and we get to see some flashbacks of a young William Adama during the first Cylon war, and 70's era Cylons. More pieces of the puzzle are introduced, and apocalyptic signs of things to come.

    Very well done. It disturbed me, it was rather dark compared to the show. Kind of like how Serenity was disturbing, but in this movie they don't decay into cheesiness (Wash! GOD DAMN IT, WASH!). The insight you get from this movie adds on very nicely to the show. But beware, if y...( read more)ou are not a follower of the show, it will possibly be disappointing and confusing.

    Really good TV movie. IF the intention was to make this a stand-alone movie, well then that failed to be honest. To a certain degree, it is a stand-alone movie, but this probably isn't the best way to introduce a new person to the series, as they'll probably be very unfamiliar ...( read more)with the characters, their motivations, and their personalities. Also while I knew that this movie was not based on the BSG regulars, I still had trouble caring for Kendra Shaw as a character because she was not one of the regulars. Not to say her character wasn't good, but she just wasn't great and I just felt that her backstory was just sort of rushed through since this was her only appearance as a character. And I understand that aspect of it, but if they went through all the trouble to introduce a new character at least find a way to inject the character into season 4 because that really makes this TV movie moot, like there's no reason for a casual BSG fan to watch this movie, even though it sets up things that will lead into season 4 (which I always like, I love shows that force you to pay attention). To be honest, all this movie really does, is show us things that we already know happened but didn't actually SEE happen and I guess it's the easiest way to fill out some plot holes. I hate to sound like I hated this movie because it was actually very good. It has all the Battlestar Galactica essentials, great writing, great music, great directing, great soundtrack, FANTASTIC special effects and solid acting. So it's not like this movie sucked because it was very good, it just wasn't as intriguing/interesting as some of the episodes in the series and that's unfortunate. Also, the addition of the original Cylon Centurions was a nice touch, and I'm sure the fans of the original show probably shit their pants (that is if they stuck around this long). Anyways the point is, this TV movie is very good but it's only really essential watching if you're a hardcore BSG nerd, which I am (at least the re-imagined version, original BSG sucked) so for casual fans can really skip most of this one, what the hybrid says at the end there is very important but I digress, I can't help but feel slightly disappointed. But then again it's more Battlestar Galactica, so I'm still happy with this movie.

    if you absolutely loved watching the show, you'll love this as well.

    No guilt here! Wonderfully done. The only problem came in with the idiot TV network, in that they forced the makers to end the series FAR too abruptly. Worth the watch...perhaps make it an all day party/showing!
