Amazon.com: The third season of Battlestar Galactica got off to a rip-roaring start on New Caprica, where the settlers had found themselves under Cylon occupation at the end of the previous season. Dr. Baltar (James Callis) had been elected President based on his intention to stop looking for Earth and settle on New Caprica, but is now a puppet of the Cylons, forced to sign execution orders for numerous humans, including former President Roslin (Mary McDonnell). A resistance movement is building, however, led by Col. Tigh (Michael Hogan), and assisted by Chief Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) and Samuel Anders (Michael Trucco). Tigh's desperate tactics--including suicide bombers--raise interesting parallels to the U.S. war in Iraq, and he finds he has to make an even tougher choice. Thanks to Admiral Adama's (Edwards James Olmos) return and the unexpected help of Boomer (Grace Park), the colonists escape, then begin a series of trials in order to convict all of the Cylon collaborators, culminating in the explosive trial of Baltar himself. In a boxing-metaphor episode, Apollo (Jamie Bamber) and Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) resume their mutual attraction with a surprising outcome. After the exciting beginning, Battlestar Galactica sagged a little in the middle of the third season (as it did in the second season) with its ship-bound episodes, but caught speed again at the end. The quest to find Earth, the unexpected loss of a major character, and the revealing of four of the final five Cylons kept viewers coming back to a series that blends action, drama, and universal questions of loyalty, faith, and justice in a way that transcends the science-fiction setting. With Dean Stockwell, Lucy Lawless, and Tricia Helfer as Cylons 1, 3, and 6, Mark Sheppard as defense attorney Romo Lampkin, Alessandro Juliani as Lt. Gaeta, Kandyse McClure as Petty Officer "Dee" Dualla, Nicki Clyne as Crewman Specialist Cally, Kate Vernon as Ellen Tigh, and Rekha Sharma as presidential aide Tory Foster.
Every episode on the DVD set has executive producer Ronald Moore's podcast commentaries (occasionally joined by others) and almost every episode has deleted scenes, including a different (and less effective) version of the season's final surprise. Also included are bonus commentaries, the Resistance webisodes (10 episodes, 26 minutes total) that provide more of life on occupied New Caprica, executive producer David Eicks' "video blog" featurettes, and an extended version of "Unfinished Business" (mostly adding non-Starbuck-Apollo material). --David Horiuchi
Battlestar Galactica - Season Three I enjoyed season three but not as much as season 1 and two. It seemed to be a little "darker" and a little more hopeless. I was frustrated with the actions of some of the characters. They made choices or did things that made no sense. It seemed that their actions were more of an attempt to create an interesting story or plot twist.
Waiting for 2009...... Season three has great extras. I enjoy keeping up to date on everything BSG, while waiting on 2009 and the final season. Now I can watch all the available seasons over and over until I figure out who the Final Cylon is!
Simply awesome!!! Great series; excellent character development & acting. One of the best Sci Fi series of all time.
Great start and finish The New Caprica episodes are some of the best of this or any sci-fi series. A weak, somewhat confusing middle that weighs down the series a bit. And then, a great last few episodes leading up to the slam bang monster finale. Wow, the revelations at the end of this are bone jarring!
Battlestar Galactica - Season Three Great series. Better than the original series but is very dark, like the Batman movies. You must pay attention to what's going on or sometimes you'll miss the point.
