Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series (2004) (Blu-ray)

I'll start by reviewing the show itself: 5 stars, across the board. Hadn't seen it in years, and re-watching now I'm reminded just how good this show is. Even for those not into sci-fi, the story is just so well crafted, and so well executed, that the fact that it's set (mostly) in space feels no different than if it were set in 19th century France - the whole thing could be set in any time, any place, and only require minor tweaks to the specifics, to keep the overall plot intact. The characters evolve throughout the series, some for the better, some for the worse, and few if any are the sort of one-dimensional archetypes often found in sci-fi. Hard to say more without spoilers, but even the best among them is not without flaws that make it uncomfortable at times to root for them, and even the worst have relatable motivations (if perhaps not quite "redeeming" qualities). I was originally going to knock the rating down to 3 stars overall, based on the fact that when I got to season 3, it was missing the 4th of 5 discs - very frustrating to run into a wall once I was deeply engrossed in rewatching the series. Customer service turned me around on the sour taste the missing disc left in my mouth, though. They're sending a full replacement set to arrive within 3 business days, and only then will I need to return the original set. Mistakes happen (in this case, most likely not on Walmart's end, since the set with the missing disc was still in shrink-wrap when it arrived), and I can't really ask for a better resolution to the issue than that. And to top it off, didn't even have to wait on hold to get to that resolution, since I just used the chat bot to report the issue and it passed my %23 along to a live human* to call me within about 10 minutes while I went about my evening in the meantime. I'm petty enough to go out of my way to circle back and drop the rating if the replacement doesn't actually arrive timely, but it feels unlikely. *might've been a cylon that called, hard to be sure about such things.

very good series it does come with razor.
