Battlestar Galactica: The Remastered Collection [Blu-ray]

I remember when Battlestar Galactica first came on the scene with a Worldcon and other conventions before it was even on the air. Advance paperback editions of the first episode. Then the night it came on a big event for the 3 hour first episode that got inturrepted by the Camp David Accords of the leaders of Israel, Egypt and United States. Then ABC put on several episodes to high ratings, It gained many of us who loved it. You had Loren Green, Richard Hatch, Dirk Bennedict, Herb Jefferson John Colocis, and many other regular actors in addition to Jane Seymour, Loyd Bridges, Patrick Macnee and many others. This series streams but you have to pay for each episode on Amazon Prime. Seeing it now on the Blu ray version in widescreen enhances it even more as well as the restoration of every episode. I also remrmber there was a little bit different naration at the beginning that had to be changed because Patrick Macnee said far far away amongst the stars. It was changed because George Lucas of Star Wars took it to court and won because whatever reason. If you want the orginal narration you can get the theactrical movie of Battlestar Galactica on blu ray or DVD and its a collectors item. I love the episodes here and this collection also includes Galactica 1980 that I have always felt had some good episodes that added a bit to the original. I like many see the flaws and agree with some but the last episode The Return of Starbuck is a great way for the Glen A Larson series to end. To me this is a treasure trove also with a lot of bonus things that makes this collection so special. I know many of the people who have panned the reboot of Galactica 1980 wanted the original but you can Blame ABC for the many faults that the both Battlestar Galactica programs had. I feel too many people where just too much purists and wanted an extension but it could not happen because not all actors could come back. I on the other hand have always found something to like about the spinoff. I feel this is same kind of thinking when Star Trek The Next Generation came along and purists who remain that way today wanted the first series. I have always been the opposite and love all of those other shows. I can not say that about the most recent Battlestar ones I could not ever get into it because it was too hard to follow with cylon humans and other types of cylons. I prefer the original two that are a great collection in the same boxed set. I did recently a marathon of them and wow have enjoyed it even more

Great series brings back memories watching them!

I have the original DVD release of this. 4:3 aspect ratio, it's like watching back in the 70s. These are a good remastering and I like that you can watch it full screen on a 16:9 TV. I hesitated to buy this because I had the DVDs already but these are a worthy upgrade and I will never watch the DVDs again. No need to get into the show details. If you're looking at these, you already know what it is. If you enjoyed the show you will want this set.

Great to relive my childhood watching these old episodes

Love seeing it in widescreen. It looks really good for a late 70s tv show that wasn’t a huge hit. Brief moments of some parts look horrendous but that’s not often. Don’t expect any of it to look HD by today’s standards. Was glad to find a bluray version in widescreen. Was worth the price.

I remember this show and liked it, but was never sure if I've seen all the episodes and being a little kid I didn't really remember the ones I did see. So it was nice to be able to find this collection and I discover a spin off I was completely unaware of. I will admit the Galactica 1980 is not as good. I don't know if casting issues or budget problems kept the original storyline from continuing, but that's the path I would've gone. This was a nice trip down memory lane I enjoyed watching. The guys were cool and the ladies were hot. What more could a boy want to watch back then.

So far so good!! Brings back so many great memories. After Star Wars blew up on the scene in '77 all hell broke loose. Science fiction spawned films and shows non stop. This one is an interesting gem and has a great story line too. The blu ray quality and sound is there.

Awesome! I grew up watching this show. Nice little tidbits I got to pick up this time watching as an adult. Re-mastered into blue ray. 6 disks of the original, plus 2 disks of the newer series where they ride the flying motorcycles. Two thumbs up!

Battlestar gives absolute proof that older show can be revamped into 16:9. Those studios that have remastered but not created 16:9 (Paramount/Star Trek) are put to shame by this title's existence. Thank you Universal and BuyGlobal for making it available to me.

muy buena edicion en bluray pero sin doblaje castellano,solo subtitulos,existe otra edicon descatalogada que si que lo incluia,no se4 porque no salio en españa

Great trip down memory lane, beautiful High Def transfer of this classic series. For those of us who grew up in the 70's, this series transported us to a far away place in the stars to battle of the evil Cylons. Quite honestly, not all the episodes are good, many did not age well but for those episodes that still hold up today, it is certainly worth the expense. Beautiful special effects and wonderful ship designs and models from the good old days before CGI.

Je suis pleinement satisfait du coffret DVD, son emballage était en parfait état. Je retrouve la qualité d'image et son de mon époque. Un vrai Back to the Future !

Was a birthday gift.
