Battlestar Galactica fans, where should I start watching?

Question

I've heard that Battlestar Galactica is a really good show, good writing, etc. and I'm a fan of sci-fi. I've never watched it before, where would be a good place to start if I want to start renting the episodes on DVD? Do I have to start at season 1? I know the show has been on for years and years and the cast has changed over the years. So I was hoping I could start with one of the newer seasons. Let me know!

Thanks

Answer 1

The show is rather long and complex (but great!), so there's a lot to watch. Here is everything you should watch, in this order:



1. 2003 Miniseries (3 hour special before Season 1)



2. Season 1



3. Season 2 (this season box set should have six discs)



4. Webisodes: The Resistance (a series of ten 2-3 minute clips that can be found on Youtube)



5. Season 3



6. Webisodes: Razor Flashbacks (I think these can be found on Youtube, but I know that all 7 parts feature on the Razor movie DVD)



7. Razor (TV movie. It can be found on DVD, and Razor is also included (on the first disc) in the season 4.0 box set)



8. Season 4.0 (ten episodes)



9. Webisodes: The Face Of The Enemy (a series of ten 2-3 minute clips that can also be found on Youtube)



10. Season 4.5 (the final half of the last season. I think there is ten or twelve more episodes. The eleventh episode of Season Four airs on January 16th. The season finale could be up to four hours in length.)



11. The Plan (Another TV movie, approximately two hours in length)



Another television series, called "Caprica" (a spin-off of Battlestar Galactica) is to be released. It is a prequel to BSG, set fifty years before the events of Battlestar Galactica.



Sorry for my long answer, there's just so much to watch! I hope you like the show.

Where To Watch Battlestar Galactica

Answer 4

Start with the 2003 miniseries. That was the beginning of the story, and you'll be lost if you don't watch it first. Then watch season 1, season 2, Razor (it's a movie set roughly concurrently with seasons 1 and 2, but has some spoilers), season 3, then season 4.



If you watch out of order you'll be spoiled for some major surprises. Also, the show tends to have some complex themes and imagery that build upon what was revealed earlier. If you don't watch in order you'll be confused, plus you'll miss out on stuff that's actually critical.

Answer 5

Prison Break. You will have to start from the beginning but the only thing is that the next episode is on April 20th and there are only a few episodes before the show is finishing. Its a great series and well worth the watch.

Listen guys as a smart man with a IQ of 155 considered a genius such as myself I can pretty much tell you how BSG show plays out, final Cylon who it will be.. its way too obvious they will try to surprise you by saying Admiral Adama the captain of BSG is the final cylon because thats how Science fiction shows are.. they surprise you BUT they surprise you by no relying on the facts that Admiral Adama didn't hear the sound in the BSG to come to the 4 cylons in that room maybe he wasn't suppose to be triggered to make it a big surprise at the end DUH!!.. if im right you guys are such nubs.





Now about earth being a wasteland.. i believe it was the first world of the BSG aka us now.. thats how scifi shows connect to our timeline.. then they moved to a new world.. and now the new world got blown up by the cylons so its the old world they came from was uninhabitable and a fairy tail believed but it was the old world maybe a thousand years ago.. crazy

Answer 7

actually, i believe the order goes like this, 2003 miniseries, seasons 1, 2.0/2.5, 3 THEN the RAZOR movie, then season 4.0/4.5



dont watch them out of order, it will ruin the experience
