In many ways, Sharon is the central character. The attack lands Helo (Tahmoh Penikett) and the Chief (Aaron Douglas) in hot water; her impending baby remains the subject of heated debate among president Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell), Commander Adama, and others; and a rebellious movement determined to force Galactica to give up the Cylon ends up threatening both Apollo and Starbuck and putting further strain on their already-shaky relationship. Dr. Baltar (James Callis) becomes even more intertwined with the Cylons when he discovers another version of Number Six (Tricia Helfer) on the Pegasus, but is also in line to take over the presidency as Roslin's cancer reaches a critical stage. Battlestar Galactica's inexorable dramatic arc sagged in a couple episodes during this run, but the terrific two-part season finale involving a presidential election, a glimmer of hope for humanity, and some unexpected turns of events makes for a thrilling springboard to season 3. Battlestar is often called the best sci-fi show on television, but that seems like damning it with faint praise; it's the best drama on television.
In addition to the 10 episodes, the three-DVD set has an extended version of the last episode of season 2.0, "Pegasus"; the extra 15 minutes include a longer conversation in which Cain reveals her plans to Adama. That episode has a commentary track by executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, Moore's podcast commentaries are on every other episode, Eick's "video blogs" serve as casual featurettes on series production, and there are numerous deleted scenes. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews of Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.5 (Episodes 10-20)
.5.5.5.5.5.5.5.5 I enjoy the series but don't appreciate paying close to forty dollars for half a season. Let's keep the .5 to 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and so on. <

Why sell one season when you can sell two?
Sci-fi is making a killing by selling half of each season for the regular price of an entire season of any other TV show. Now we're here with Season 2.5. What a rip off. What's next, 3.0 and 3.5? This is a racket and a money-grubbing tactic. Even though I'm a fan of the show, this ticks me off.

A fantastic show -- but you can't look past charging double!
When Amazon asks us for customer reviews, they are asking us for reviews not of the show alone, but of this particular offering: this show's presentation on this DVD set. As such, my review is tempered. Were I able to rank this offering solely and merely on its content, five stars would not be sufficient. I strongly believe that this is perhaps one of the finest -- and possibly THE finest -- of all the various shows that have hit the airwaves within the last few years. Ron Moore's writing is taut and gripping, the acting is first-rate, touches of humor abound, and human relationships take center stage, even amongst those inhuman, despite spectacular eye candy (and candy of both the CGI and slinky kind!).

>That all having been strongly emphasized first, the mercenary rate at which NBC/Universal Studios has chosen to price its Battlestar Galactica offerings simply cannot be ignored. Season 1 was only 13 episodes, yet it was priced at $60. The two individual half-season offerings are only 10 episodes each, yet they're priced at $50. That works out to $4.61 an episode for season one, $4.99 an episode for seasons "2.0" and "2.5." For comparative purposes, a comparable hit, "Lost", offered its 24-episode second season for $60, which is half that: $2.50 an episode.

>This product would easily receive five stars were it only to be priced at a rate designed to be equal to those offered for other television seasons. As it stands, charging full price for half-content is an act extremely insulting for a show that has received such emphatic and enthusiastic support, and NBC/Universal Studios should behave better; the review is thus downgraded accordingly. I would, in fact, downgrade it to a single star, except that I cannot bear to go on record as having given this fine series such a low rating. I would gladly rate this a full five stars were the complete season offered for a $60 list price; as it is, charging a $60 list price for a 13-episode first season, or a combined $100 list price for a 20-episode second season, even one this good, can only be termed massive gluttony and avarice on NBC/Universal's part.
