Answered some questions most of us knew the answers to already. Weakest of the franchise, perhaps after repeated viewings I will have more appreciation for it. Built on flashbacks and 'extended scenes' two weeks before the fall up to the armistice and blowing Cavil out the airlock. Great CGI on the fall of the Colonies.

Basically, I really liked it. Some weak points, but well worth watching if you're a fan. It gives an extra insight into a few things. Definitely do not watch it if you haven't already seen all of the series though, because it'll a) make no sense whatsoever, and b) spoil the entire series.

For a start, it'd spoil the entire series, since it tells you all the Cylons and all the major plot points of season 1, and season 2 up to the Cavil's death. I think the whole thing would be very hard to follow if you didn't know what was going on. The way they leap into the events of the episode 33 without much explaination is just one example.

They are probably "fishing" to see if they can get more buyers and once the new viewers get the DVDs, then they will want to get the series too...marketing tactic.

Well wait, I just competently contradicted myself.
