Battlestar Galactica Season 2.0: This reimagining of the classic 1970s science fiction series takes its special effects and story lines to a whole new level, with President Roslin (Mary McDonnell), Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) and their ship full of humans still searching for the mythical planet Earth. In the show's sophomore season, the commander's life hangs in the balance, and a new crisis emerges when Cylon Centurions manage to board the Galactica.

Battlestar Galactica Season 2.5: Set in the wake of a nuclear annihilation that destroyed the 12 Colonies of Man, this Sci-Fi Channel series follows the last surviving humans in their search for the long-lost 13th colony: Earth. The latter half of the second season finds the crew of Battlestar Galactica facing a new Cylon target; meanwhile, President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) is fighting the cancer that's slowly killing her. Edward James Olmos also stars.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** This season was split up into two box sets for DVD release. As for the content, it's just as good as season one. I love the mix of religion, politics, war, romance, and mystery that this series presents to the audience.
