Just be aware: it all starts with a miniseries. Rent that first, then get the episodes of the first season.
BSG had the most amazing start (with the miniseries) and first season of a show, ever. (In my opinion.) The show made some major miscues down the road (as well as having some great episodes), but I stuck with it just to see how the events of that tremendous start would all end up.
I couldn't agree more...
You can get a combination Mini-Series/First season DVD set, as well as buying them separately, so be careful. This is what really pissed me off with the later seasons, like 2.0 and 2.5 nonsense, where they should have just released the entire season in one shot, but decided to screw us over and charge more.
But the Mini-Series drew me in, and that first season nailed me to the floor, especially episodes "33" and "Water." WOW!!!!!

I am almost done with S2 and will start S2.5 tomorrow. :) So far, my initial interpretations from the finale are still holding true.
The problem with “Water” was that it seems that water is a scarce resource in the universe. But if you find some, you’re good for 4+ years....
they did it that way cause you only get 20 episodes per year rather than twentysomething more and reruns in the summer
they just don’t show them that way anymore
