Sadly, not the best ever November 21, 2008

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.
 Thanks for the warning November 14, 2008

I nearly bought season 4.0 but after reading the rewiews I will rather wait for the REAL complete season. This is the same problem like with Lost, Heroes, House M.D. etc., due to the strike you get only half the content. I sympathize with their situation but to call 10 episodes the comlete 4th season is really cheeky. They just had to split it up in 4.1 and 4.2 so the people would have known.
Dissapointing :-( November 11, 2008

I've followed this series from the start, purchased the DVD box sets as they were released. Season 4 is the least engaging season i have watched so far. The last couple of episodes from season 4 were good but the others just felt like fillers. I just hope season 5 takes us back to the good script writing we have seen in the earlier seasons.
This DVD is an outright LIE AND RIPP OFF November 6, 2008

In fairness to the show I have to say first that everything on this DVD is brilliant. Each episode of the 4th season that is on here blew my mind, it was that good!
BUT, it is outrageous that this DVD is sold with the title Battlestar Galactica Season 4!
I had no idea what status season 4 was at, but came across this DVD and obviously thought it was the entire season 4, since that is what it plainly claims to be!
I was slightly surprised to see that it only contained 10 episodes, but thought not too much about it, since the cover did not say anything about it only being part one, I naturally assumed this season was shorter for some reason.
I was entirely confused at the end of the last episode, even though the episode made a great ending, there was still important questions left open. I was ready to accept that that was how it was supposed to end, but started researching online, after about an hour (!!!) I realised I had bought a DVD set, that only included the first half of season 4. I checked the cover again, there was absolutely no note or hint about it not being the entire season.
Who ever is smart or lucky enough to read this before buying the item, and can save his or her money for the complete box set -you are lucky, and I wish I was you!
I feel entirely cheated for my money. This DVD cost me a lot of money and is far to expensive considering it is only half of the season!
I have to consider this money wasted and lost, because the set will be worthless once the ACTUAL DVD set comes out, especially because I will have to buy that too.
It is one thing to release the first part of the season earlier to give us something till we can have the rest. The makers of this DVD are cheaters and lyres as long as they don't make clear that this is only part one of season 4.
Only buy it if the first 10 episodes is all you want, or if you have the money to effort the luxury of getting the start of the season now, and the rest later. I can't afford it, so I am not sure what I have to deny myself later in order to get the other 10 episodes.
This cheat definitely spoiled a bit of my final Galactica experience.
Not all season 4! October 26, 2008

Watch out... You are not actually getting all of season 4 in this box set... This is just really half a season... Very deceptive!
