I'm a real fan of sci-fi, and a big fan of this show, but I found this season very slow to take off. The "spiritual"/"destiny" element was so overwhelming in the early episodes that (romantic, chick-flick girl that I am) I found myself longing for a couple of dog-fights and explosions! I still can't come to terms with Lee Adama as a besuited politician. I'm sick of Kara Thrace mooching around talking about visions of earth. Things only came alive for me when we finally have the encounter with the rebel Cylons, and the four Cylons of the fleet are revealed. It felt like a bit of a long wait to get to this point. I will still be buying Series 5, and this series is a necessary link - hopefully they are saving the best for last. >>More Details

I missed the entire Battlestar Glactica oeuvre when it came out (indeed the original series as well) but read so many reviews about the allegorical sophistication of BG, I thought I'd better check it out. The obvious place to start is the 2004 mini-series, assembled on DVD as a three-hour feature (and selling for less than four quid on Amazon as I write). Aficionados claim the series doesn't get into its stride until later, but this was for me an impressive opener. The human species is attacked by the Cylons, a robot-race that comes in two distinctive designs; toaster-on-legs and hot, hot humanoid. Thanks to some sexy treachery involving the latter, the human defences are annihilated leaving a rag-bag of refugee vessels, clustered round the eponymous ... Read More: >>More Details

This is a really good special of Battlestar Galactica, but don't buy it if you get the series box sets, as its included in the Series 4 box set as disk 1. Bit annoying as I own both now >>More Details

Following the hugely impressive 2002 mini-series, Season One, which came out in 2004 started strongly and continued its strikingly retro/realistic look and feel. All science fiction is really about the present and BG in particular has a reputation for intelligent even philosophical allegory of the themes preoccupying modern western societies. Unfortunately this seems to get in the way of telling the tale. Much of the middle of the series was really about US politics, as boring as it was ridiculous. The entire population of the space-bound community numbers is supposedly less than 50,000 making for example a 'press corps' a little unlikely. It would have been much more interesting (and challenging) to explore how this traumatised, barely-surviving bundle of survivors ... Read More: >>More Details

As mentioned above, the show rocks. Edward James Olmos again excelled as Adama. And so did Michelle Forbes as Admiral Cain. But even though the show is delivered via DVD, I could'nt help thinking it looks and feel as if I'm watching VCD. So my rating is based on the show(content) alone and not on the video quality(DVD). >>More Details

I was never a fan of the original, but this re imagined version hooked me right form the start. Its structured as a complete story with lots of strong and flawed characters and plenty of action. There are interesting relationships and B5 fans will undoubtedly appreciate the who-you-are / what-you-are implications of the story. Acting, CGI special effects, and production are all excellent. Highly recommended. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Peak Practice - The Complete First Series [1993] starring: Jamie Bamber, Lynsey Baxter, John Bowler, Karl Davies, Christabel Fellowes directed by: Gary Wicks June 30, 2003		List Price: Â£29.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.98 You Save: £22.01 (73%) Prices subject to change.

Peak Practice started out with Amanda Burton and Kevin Whately as the two main characters in the first 3 series and Simon Sheperd as supporting cast. In later series Simon Shepherd carried on as main character after Amanda Burton and Kevin Whately left to do other things. Gary Mavers, Haydn Gwynne, Joseph Millson, and Maggie O'Neill only joined the series much later. Could Amazon.co.uk please a) rectify the mistake on their pages, and b) let ITV know that we, its fans, would really appreciate if they would release all 12 series not just the first 2. It puts people off from buying these first 2 DVD's if there is no chance of getting the later series, which were as excellent, thought-provoking and beautifully shot as the first. >>More Details
