Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5 is the final 10 episodes of the Sci-Fi Channel's highly acclaimed reimagining of the 1970s show, including one of the more stirring and satisfying series finales in television history. Aired in January 2009 after a six-month hiatus, the half-season opens following the devastating revelation about Earth and with four of the final five Cylons revealed, including Tigh (Michael Hogan), Anders (Michael Trucco), Foster (Rekha Sharma), and Tyrol (Aaron Douglas). The uneasy alliance between humans and a pack of rebel Cylons, including Caprica 6 (Tricia Helfer) takes a quizzical turn when the former residents of Earth appear to be Cylon rather than human, and some of the final five begin to recall their past lives on Earth. Kara (Katee Sackhoff) has to call her own human status into question when she discovers a crashed Viper occupied by a corpse wearing her dog tags, and President Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos) battle their own despair and struggle to lead an emotionally devastated fleet. Capitalizing on the turmoil, Vice President Tom Zarek (Richard Hatch) and Felix Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani) organize a mutiny aboard the Galactica and Zarek makes an unbelievable power move against the Quorum of Twelve. But before they can carry out their plans for execution, a commando raid led by Kara and Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber) fighting side by side strikes back against the mutineers. That's the action high point of the half-season, as the show then seems to mark some time with such issues as babies and structural integrities until the three-part finale, which, despite a head-scratcher or two, manages to resolve its issues tidily. That viewers even get a rare glimpse of sunlight is kind of a reward for fans of this outstanding but relentlessly dark series. DVD features include extended versions of three episodes ("A Disquiet Follows My Soul," "Islanded in a Stream of Stars," and "Daybreak'), Ronald D. Moore's podcast commentaries for each episode, deleted scenes, David Eick's video blogs, and five behind-the-scenes featurettes. --David Horiuchi

 I Loved Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5 March 9, 2010
Dorothy Watson (MISSISSIPPI)
I have been a devoted viewer and fan of this most recent version of Battlestar Galactica. I just wish they could have continued for several more seasons. I will miss new shows, but will probably start my bought series from the beginning and watch it all the way through again soon.
Satisfying end to an excellent serial. March 9, 2010
Darren Morin (Canada)
YES! If you've been watching this series, this edition will answer most, if not all of your questions. I will not say ANYTHING more, dare I risk giving away any details. If you're looking at this thing, you are likely already a fan. If your friends, family and the Internet haven't already spoiled the ending for you, watch it! Then go pick up the follow-up "The Plan" after watching season 4.5. Enjoy!
 can the last 15 minutes really ruin an entire series? March 1, 2010
a.walker
excellent beginning, and middle, rushed/laughable ending. recommendation is to press stop on your dvd player when the fleet finds what they are looking for and go no further.
SO SAY WE ALL February 25, 2010
KHeass (Boston, MA USA)
I LOVE Battlestar Galactica. It is a phenomenal series, with incredible character depth and storylines to tug at your heart, soul, and mind. It is based in the military, but it is a story of so much more. It delves into the depths of what it means to be human (or Cylon), and how far the line can be blurred.
4.5 ending not too bad, but you get what you pay for. February 20, 2010
Katana (NJ)
I've watched the entire series like most. There was good points and bad. Surprising curves and typically predictable scenes. Most know what happens being that the series is almost a year over, so I won't go into details about it. My review is simply on the price of a half season. Like others paying a price of a full season and only getting a half season makes no sense. I like others were waiting for the price to come down at Amazon. A few different times it did and I missed out. Last night it was priced right around $24, which is better than before. A family issue arose that needed attending to so I postponed the online shopping until the next day. The price jumped back up to $40. So I went with a competitor that was still in the $24 range. Oh well. Lesson of the story---shop for the best price and be loyal to no one but yourself. Consumers are what make businesses work. Not the other way around. Now that I think about it, I never knew DVD prices were just as volatile as gas prices.
