1/14/05

In the wake of the Cylon sneak attack, the ragtag fleet of human survivors is forced to play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with their pursuers. Every 33 minutes, they make a jump to a new location. And every 33 minutes, the Cylons manage to find them. The pilots are on the brink of exhaustion, relying on artificial stimulants to keep fighting, and the civilians are beginning to doubt the leadership of Commander Adama and President Roslin.

2 Water

1/14/05

Lt. Sharon Valerii wakes up soaking wet in the tool room with an explosive charge in her duffel bag. Shortly afterward, a mysterious explosion destroys all the port-side water tanks on Galactica, creating a crisis for the entire fleet.

3 Bastille Day

1/21/05

The fleet has found a source of water, but who will take on the difficult and dangerous job of mining it from the icy planet? Commander Adama and President Roslin send Lee to the Astral Queen, a prisoner transport ship, with an offer for its inmates: Volunteer for this mission and earn "freedom points."

4 Act of Contrition

7/28/13

After a flight deck accident kills 13 pilots and wounds many others, Kara is thrust into service as a flight instructor and ordered to turn a group of civilian pilots and academy washouts into full-fledged Viper pilots.

5 You Can't Go Home Again

2/4/05

When Lt. Kara Thrace goes missing in action after encountering a Cylon patrol while on a training mission, Commander Adama feels responsible--especially in light of her recent admission that she blames herself for his son Zak's death.

6 Litmus

2/11/05

When a new copy of Doral, a Cylon who had been previously exposed while serving as the Galactica's public-relations officer, sneaks aboard and blows himself up, killing three people, Commander Adama and President Roslin must finally make public the terrifying secret known only to a select few: Cylons now look like humans.

7 Six Degrees of Separation

2/18/05

When Baltar and the Number Six who lives in his head have a falling out, she abandons him, only to surface a short while later aboard the Galactica. But now she's called Shelley Godfrey, everyone can see her, and she's telling them that she has evidence, passed on by the late Dr. Amarak, that will prove Baltar sold out the human race to the Cylons.

8 Flesh And Bone

2/25/05

A Cylon, who calls himself Leobon, is discovered on one of the ships in the fleet. Commander Adama sends Kara to interrogate him--or, rather, it. The Cylon tells Kara that he planted a nuclear device on one of the ships.

9 Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down

3/4/05

At the end of the previous episode, President Laura Roslin was left with five little words that have been eating at her. "Commander Adama is a Cylon." Things are further complicated when Adama shows up with Colonel Saul Tigh's wife Ellen (presumed dead) in tow.

10 The Hand of God

3/11/05

The fleet only has enough Tylium Fuel to make a few more jumps, so Commander Adama sends a search party to nearby star systems. Sharon and Crashdown return with good news and bad. They've found huge tylium deposits on an asteroid just one jump away, but there is a Cylon base there, with hundreds of Raiders guarding the fuel. Adama insists that while they know where the Cylons are, the Cylons don't know where Galactica is. He wants to take the fight to the enemy. It's a big gamble: if they win, they'll have all the fuel they need; if they lose, the entire human race will perish.

11 Colonial Day

3/18/05

It's Colonial Day - a holiday celebrating the establishment of the Twelve Colonies - the first Colonial Day since the Cylon attacks. Laura Roslin insists on celebration because she believes that upholding traditions will inspire people to embrace the future. Also, with her own health uncertain, she knows she must choose a successor and Colonial Day will be an ideal time to announce her candidate for Vice President. Surviving representatives from each of the twelve colonies are sent to the ship to help elect a Vice-President, though Laura assumes it won't be much trouble to get her choice, Wallace Gray, pushed through. Dr. Baltar is one of Caprica's delegates while a familiar face represents Sagittarian: Tom Zarek.

12 Kobol's Last Gleaming, Pt 1

3/25/05

Part 1 of 2. While flying a supply patrol, Crashdown and Sharon Valerii discover a bountiful planet that can support human life. Indeed, it might be Kobol, the legendary "home of the gods."

13 Kobol's Last Gleaming, Pt 2

4/1/05

Part 2 of 2. When Commander Adama learns that Kara disobeyed orders and Jumped to Caprica on orders from President Roslin, he demands the president's resignation, with the implied threat of a military coup.

About this show

One of television's most celebrated dramas, "Battlestar Galactica" is the classic adventure of a ragtag fleet of humans, the sole survivors of a devastating nuclear attack by the robot cylons. Faced with an un-winnable battle against a deadly enemy, they are forced to flee under the protection of their one remaining warship, the outdated Battlestar Galactica. Pursued by the cylons - some of whom have now taken human form - Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) and President Roslin (Mary McDonnell) lead these last remnants of humanity in search of a new home... a planet called Earth.

BSG for me is one of the best TV dramas ever made sci fi or otherwise. However as already noted the pricing of online downloads to keep is madness not only on Google Play but also the likes of PlayStation Network. When TV episodes such as BSG can be watched ad infinitum on Netflix or LoveFilm Instant paying over £1 per episode is simply daylight robbery. Similar can be said for feature films being charged at £9 to £12 for a download when I could likely stroll into Tesco & pick up the DVD for £5 or less

Just purchased the complete 1-4 series including mini for £16.99 which is a very reasonable price offer. If the prices were more on a par with this all year round I would imagine your sales going through the roof. Between movies and Boxsets also other series, I think from a rough calculation I've spent upto about £150 or so over Christmas and New year , I barely spend £20 all year because your prices are so ridiculously high, and they are only on offers I pick up here and there. Also, I spent a lot on apps and games but that's a different story. In fact between them all I have enough to keep me going till next year, I refuse to spend £10+ on movies or a lot more on series which I may not even like, I don't even know if I will even enjoy this as I've never watched an episode before, however, at this price I'm not as concerned than if I payed the original asking price. I've enjoyed movies I bought of you for £1.99, many Japanese movies, and if I don't who cares at that price? Why don't you have at least one top movie per week, fortnight, month, whatever, at cheap rental or purchase or both which will draw more potential buyers into your movie section and may pay for a full price one as they feel they are saving money on another movie? You have never done anything like this and I have been using your services five years, you haven't even done a promotion on magazines this year! You may be able to push for full price on a new movie for 4 weeks, but even when or if you drop the price, you can buy the physical copy from elsewhere cheaper than on here by then which is madness, and i can't understand your crazy pricing and lack of offers throughout the year. Maybe your making so much money on ads you just don't have to work that hard? One day though you might just by which time it's just to late.
