SyFyPortal had this to say about the Galactica miniseries DVD now available:
Sci-Fi Channel is about to re-air it. NBC is even planning on airing an abridged version of it. Yet, I still had to own it.
That's right, the "Battlestar Galactica" miniseries that aired on the Sci-Fi Channel a year ago finally debuted on DVD Dec. 28 with the backdoor pilot that led into the series that debutes on the cable channel in mid-January.
But while I may have watched the complete series more times than I care to admit, I have to say that I am going to send NBC Universal a nasty letter for keeping me up so late on a work night.
Finding the new two-disc set is not easy, however. Knowing that the DVD was available Dec. 28, I decided to go shopping for it after work. I must have visited three Super Wal-Marts, a Barnes & Nobles, and even Borders, and had absolutely no luck finding this DVD set. I saw everything else that had been released on DVD this week, but not what I really wanted -- the "Battlestar Galactica" miniseries.
While I was burning off an entire tank of gas, I started to kick myself for not pre-ordering the DVD online, so that it would be in my mailbox that morning. I also kicked myself for not remembering that hey, I run SyFy Portal ... I could've requested a review copy of the DVD.
Finally, I decided to look in one last place ... Best Buy. It was 10 minutes before they were closing, and I was racing down the interstate to the closest Best Buy location I could find ... and to my utter relief, as the store was trying to lock its doors, I found the new miniseries DVD on the shelf next to the $100 original series DVD collection.
While I was excited about watching the miniseries again, especially after getting a chance to watch a handful of episodes of the new series, what I really wanted to hear was the commentary from executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, as well as from miniseries director Michael Rymer.
