In the deepest reaches of space, the fight to save all human life from extinction has begun in this science-fiction adventure that launched the Battlestar Galactica phenomenon! Hopeful for lasting peace following centuries of intense warfare, the Twelve Colonies gather to sign a treaty with their dreaded enemies, the Cylons. But after an act of treachery on the eve of the ceremony, the Cylons launch a devastating surprise attack, destroying the Colonies' home planets and most of their military strength. A lone flagship battlestar, the Galactica, led by Commander Adama (Lorne Greene), remains to aid the surviving colonists on their epic journey for a new home to a far-off legendary planet — Earth. They must survive the pursuing Cylons in a series of epic battles that will determine the fate of the human race in this non-stop action-packed classic filled with cutting-edge special effects by John Dykstra (Star Wars, Spider-Man).

Finally.....The REAL Battlestar GalacticaI was pleasently surprised to see iTunes offer this.I don't know why the Sci-Fi Channel's remake is considered sooooo "improved" and realistic.It has story and plot holes big enough to pass a Battlestar through.At least the 70's original had characters you could like and empathize with.While the individual episode scripts were uneven quality-wise,the overall storyline was a classic epic.Beautiful sountrack(especially the Opening Theme)"Classic" sci-fi TV brought down by it's enormous production costs which forced the network to cut as many corners as possible..Score: 4/5
Nothing beats a classic...While I liked the new take on BSG nothing beats the original. I remember watching this show as a kid and looking forward to each episode as I watched it over and over. I never grew tired of this show unlike the newer version of it. I never found myself fast forwarding through large gaps of 'dead air' to find something worth watching as I have many times with the modern version. I've got nothing against a female Starbuck and Boomer and even 'human' cylons but let's be real, it's just not the same..Score: 5/5
Now this brings back memories!I was nine years old when the original Battlestar Galactica aired, and it was a weekly battle with my sister to get to watch it. I don't even remember what was on that she wanted to watch, but I wanted to watch Galactica on the color TV in the living room, not the small black and white in my bedroom. The original is no match for the reinvented version on today, but as a moment in time, it is a joy to watch. And if it brings back the random flash of school boys flying around the playground in imaginary vipers almost thirty years ago, then so much the better. For those who were around the first time, get it for the memories. For those who have only seen the new version, get it to see how it all got started..Score: 5/5
Wow, i cant believe how much better the new version isBasically everything the title says it is The cylons emit such a glare you cant see anything within 20 feet around the,. i dont understand anything the measurements, AND IT LOOKS LIKE STAR TREK KNOCK OFF!

The previews.......as another reviewer pointed out are useless. Opening credits after opening credits. But as for the show, they do not make television like this anymore. An epic story, being told over the course of an entire series, that's full of drama and grandeur that can still be appreciated in these attention-span-challenged times..Score: 5/5
NostalgiaWhen this show aired back in 1978 I would count down the hours between episodes!! While the new Galactica is a better show in every way, this Galactica had a certain something that even after all these years, still resonates! I still love this show!!.Score: 5/5
Why????I previously bought the whole season. I knew it started with a 3 part episode. But I just noticed that the missing episode is now available. And iTunes insists I pay an additional 1.99 for something I had already paid for? Not right. If you're a big BG fan (the original series)it won't be a big deal but the idea that I have pay for something I already paid for is annoying to say the least..Score: 1/5

Time Magazine called it 'Son of Star Wars'I, too was a fan in early high school at the time. Most other reviewers have said it all about this show. Here's why it was cancelled: Midway through production there was a writer's strike in Hollywood and several other unions backed the writers. That forced the networks to recycle unproduced scripts and (worse,) recycle special effects shots. That's why every Cylon gets blown out of the same position in the sky on the fourth turbo-laser hit... (count 'em). The earliest episodes were the best. BTW, if you can find it, rent the movie. It was the pilot (parts 1, 2 and 3) cut in a much darker, more menacing story. It was released in "Sensurround" like the movie "Earthquake." Giant subwoofers generating mind-numbing low frequency at extremely high volume levels... Not Kidding! You'll never think of a Viper launch the same again. Cheers..Score: 4/5
My Dad Got Me HookedI've only watched a few on ION, but I really love it. When the new one came out, my dad was like "Battlestar Galactica! I love that show!", and he got me hooked. It looked to me like a combonation of a Western movie and Star Wars-both of which I love. And the theme song is one of the best ever made. The plot is interesting, and the characters are solid, and this is definately worth buying!.Score: 5/5

Like fashion.. hold onto this and it will come back in styleCheesy and well past due date special effects, but it still manages to tell a story. It has a certain style for it's period and it won't be really appreciated until 2020 or 2030. And Lorne Greene really does steal each scene. He commands the screen with a Shakespearean quality.

The original and still the best!Battlestar Galactica in 1978, did what no other SF show on TV had ever done, tell an epic story on a scale that was unrivaled, probably until the broadcast of the first V mini-series. Unlike many series of that day, its episodes aren't interchangeable throughout its run, a certain order occurs, with loose story arcs. While some episodes are cliched and contain bad science and repetitive visual effects sequences, many of the two-part stories are feature film quality. Creator, Glen A. Larson mixed some of his Mormon upbringing into the show's mythology, while leading men Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict are the engaging heroes Apollo and Starbuck, anchored by the calm and assured Lorne Greene as Commander Adama. The series won two Emmy Awards for visual effects and costume design and Richard Hatch was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance. The best episodes are the pilot ā Saga Of A Star World, Lost Planet Of The Gods, Gun On Ice Planet Zero, The Living Legend, War of The Gods and the final episode, The Hand Of God. in 2009, it was announced that a film based on this original series of Battlestar Galactica was in development from Universal Studios..Score: 5/5

Great show - shame about the cost!What a great show this was, a true cult classic! Looks a bit dated now but isn't that why we love these shows?! It's also interesting to see how many storylines have made their way into the "reimagined" show (also great). While it's nice to see shows like this available for download, the price is astronomical. I paid less than Ā£35.00 for a special edition DVD box set 3 years ago! Personally, I still feel there's a difference between having a "real" boxset (complete with artwork, booklets, interviews, commentaries & special features) and a digital download..Score: 4/5

Fond memories replaced by realityI watched the first couple. I'm sorry to say it is as suspected - a bit of a drag. The Cylons look great, all shiny and 70's disco. For TV back then, the dogfights are impressive. However, neither the kitsch factor nor nostalgia would sustain me for a whole series. I had trouble getting through the two episodes I watched. Yes, I loved it back in the day, but I can't say I was too critical of writing or performances. If, like me, you are a huge fan of the recent Ron Moore incarnations (BSG & Caprica) it is fun to trace the original elements that were later adapted, but beyond that comparison of the two shows is futile. It's hokey fun that once entertained, but no longer holds up. A curiosity for fans of the remake and maybe those who remember it the first time around, but at this price (currently Ā£35.76 for the series), I'd recommend preserving your memories and saving your pennies..Score: 3/5
