Battlestar Galactica? - Blu-ray Forum

Hicksatpd · 02-03-2009, 12:33 AM

Hi guys,

I'm a big BSG fan, and I've assumed/hoped that the show would work its way onto BD in the not too distant future. Has anyone seen/heard any news/rumors on this?

I purposefully have not bought the most recent DVD release (Season 4.0) because I figure that I'll just be replacing the series on BD anyway. Didn't Season One come out on HDDVD?

According to DigitalBits it's rumored for a release later in the year. If what I remember is correct.

Bears.
Beets.
Battlestar Galactica.

I as well love this series and have done the same as the OP. I'm holding off buying 4.0 since I will replace the whole series when they do release.

I have watched all the seasons, Is there anything different in the original miniseries, or is it included in season 1?

Season 1 is available on HD - DVD and is at Fry's for 14.99 brand new I do believe.

The mini series was included on the box set of season 1

Thanks for the heads up, but unfortunately, HDDVD's don't work in my blu-ray player.

Anyway, I'm also looking forward to a decent bluray release of this series. I'd definitely pick it up. I just hope it'll be a better transfer than the above-mentioned HDDVD release, as I heard it wasn't a top-notch transfer.

I was answering what the OP asked. But, from what I heard it wasn't a bad transfer. It will probably be a direct port transfer from the HD - DVD anyways.

I was holding the Season 4 special edition package in my hand which comes with a book, Starbuck dogtags and I'm like I just can't--this has to come out on BD. The last episode 'The Oath' was so intense--one of the best hours of TV ever. Also, finally, for the final 10 episodes Comcast finally gave us SciFi HD so watching and listening is better than ever. Frak, why is this show ending?

Zvi · 02-03-2009, 04:04 PM

Because S3 sucked and ratings were down, so I figure they've made the decision then.

It was a pretty bad transfer. It had macro blocking rather consistently throughout.

The packaging was also shit, though that's easily fixed for a BR release.

I truly hope they redo season 1. If they released a port it would be pretty inexcusable at this point.

I've also been holding off on buying the DVD sets for the inevitable BR release. Hopefully they hit when this last season hits DVD later this year.

According to the "sources", Universal is preparing a single BD box set of all 4 seasons of BSG, including the pilot mini-series, "Razor", and "The Plan".

"The Plan" is a yet-to-air tele-movie supposedly set on Caprica after the initial Cylon Attack. I've heard there is at least one appearance by Olmos in the movie, but its supposed to be separate story arch from the one detailed by BSG.

Anyway, The box set will be released "some time" after the final BSG episode and presumably "The Plan" will have aired. By my rekoning, the Final BSG episode is slated for March 20th and will be a three-hour finale episode shown all at one time. Afterwards, the episode will be split into 3 parts for syndication.

The scuttlebutt has it releasing this year. Hopefully, I would expect the BD release of BSG to be on store shelves before Christmas this year.

And in decent transfer, and we would have a winner!

brps3 · 02-03-2009, 11:23 PM

I've always had mixed feelings about the new BSG. I think it strayed way too far from the original BSG (1979). Too much pc and sex and completely unlikeable humans.

Almost makes you wish the Cylons would win.

I have the 2003 pilot. Dont know if I will buy BSG on BR.

Hicksatpd · 02-04-2009, 01:06 AM

If the box set rumor is true, I'll be all over that.

dwesson · 02-04-2009, 01:10 AM

One of the best TV series currently on TV (and maybe of all time, depending on the last 7 episodes). I already own every DVD set they've put out so far, but will gladly spend the money to have the entire series on blu. Gladly.
