Title: Great - But Maybe A Little too Great
Review: I've loved BG since it's 3 hour pilot way back in 1978. To at last have the series on DVD - and all in one great box - is fantastic. However, there is one drawback one can't help but notice - the DVD transfers are at times TOO good. During the outer space shots the 'junk mattes' around the ships stand out on the digital transfer so much that it is actually distracting. Granted, the sound and picture quality are lightyears ahead of the old MCA videos, but one wishes someone at Universal could have taken the time and money to 'fix' the space shots a bit - just tweaking the contrast on the original film stock probably would have done it. That said, I still HIGHLY RECOMMEND this set...the deleted scenes alone are worth the price! Long live Battlestar Galactica (and hopefully a quick death the the insipid 'remake')!
