Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series

[darthviper107]

Plus as far as HD goes--Blu-Ray will be in full 1080p rather than the 720p or 1080i on TV.

I wasn't able to watch BSG in HD until this last season. I can't wait to watch the whole series that way.

I dunno... I watched all of season 4.5 on SciFi HD as it aired and was surprised by the amount of grain/imperfections in the film. I also watched the first half of the season on (upscaled) DVD with my wife to catch her up and could not tell a difference in quality from DVD to HD. Usually, the HD channels on my tv are as crisp and clean as your average BD, but BSG in particular always looks "dirty." Except for the last hour of the final episode, maybe. I doubt this is a series that will benefit highly from BD, since it doesn't appear to have been filmed in the best quality to begin with.

Well I don't watch tv anymore and I don't have any HD channels so I don't know how good it will look on BD but I am just a huge BSG fan so I must have this, the fact that the webisodes we never got over here are on it as well as new special features is also a big plus.

Best space opera in space! I have all seasons except for season 4 on DVD, so this blu ray release is not on my wish list.

There's a massive difference between the 720p of broadcast HD and a 1080p BD. However:

BDG is shot on HD video if memory serves, but is degraded/filtered to achieve a specific look. I suspect in this case the PQ delta between upscaled DVD and BD will be minimal.

Doesn't it vary though?? I know some stations broadcast in 1080p, but some cable providers downgrade the signal. I know SciFi was catching flak for not broadcasting in full HD.

I meant to say 720p anyway! But yes, the major cable operators generally fold three channels' worth of signals into the bandwidth usually used for two, which means you're getting a degraded 720p signal for your cable "HD" service. Certainly not a BD style 1080p experience...

the first season apparently didn't look so hot in HD, so i'm hoping that the bluray version will look better.

Now I just want them to Make actual 1/6 figures of these guys. I'd love a 1/6 Adama and Starbuck

 

[Odowankenobi]

Nice, but I won't be getting it. I already have all the DVDs to date, so all I need is 4.5.

Kinda related, but this weeks CSI has no less than three people associated with BSG in the actual ep, and two who wrote it..!

Funniest ep ever

[MooMooEgg]

So is it confirmed that the box won't fit on a standard DVD shelf? I really hate it when companies do this..
