Classic Scifi TV show. Plenty of plot twists to keep you entertained.

The beginning of the season is surprise to the audience, jumping months ahead in time from the last moment of the previous season ( which had the Cylons arriving at New Caprica to take control ). The first few episodes show the desperation of some characters planetside, while Big Adama tenaciously tries to get Galactica and Pegasus trained for an attack to return to New Caprica to rescue those left behind. The rescue finally comes in Exodus, pt2, with lots of explosions and Adama's bold plan put into place. The next five episodes are mostly characters tending to emotions, a few more of the moral/ethical crisis moments that often happen on the series, and some action toward the fleet heading to earth. In the next four episodes ( The Passage, Eye of Jupiter, Rapture, Taking A Break.... ) the fleet finds a planet with a hidden temple that apparently was left by the thirteenth tribe; unfortunately the Cylons happen to also show up, soon followed by an even more potentially deadly problem. After surviving that crisis, which features the retrieval of Baltar, the next four episodes basically fill as filler, again more of the moral/ethical crisis situations than storyline progress, except for a big problem that Starbuck has. The last three episodes really roll ( Son Also Rises, then the two episode unit Crossroads ), with one situation resolved in part 2 of Crossroads but a new group of cliffhanger situations arise.

As my good friend Yeit is quick to point out, the first four episodes of Battlestar Galactica Season 3 are quite compelling. Just consider the choice to have Tigh, Tyrol, and Anders command the insurgency of humans against cylons -- using suicide bombings and other forms of resistance. While I do not embrace guerrilla warfare, BSG is one of the few series, if any, that takes a serious look at the causes and effects of such a last resort measure. ... and the rest of the season [and series!] is solid, too!

This is by far the best season of Battlestar Galactica. The storyline kept me completely enthralled all the way to the end of the season...and then I just wanted more! The plot, characters, and filming are all consistant with previous seasons. The extras are great. Most of them were available online for a limited time during the first run of the show but are no longer easily accessable. I was glad they were put into the box set, as I enjoy seeinghearing them almost as much as the actual show.

Season 3 starts off right were the pulse pounding season 2 left off. The season continues the journey of the battlestar Galactica and the remaining human fleet. The story dives deeper into each character to culminate to one of televisions best hour in the season finale! It will leave you breathless and yearning for more! A word of advice, watch the webisodes on disc 2 first, as they bridge the gap between season 2 and 3.
