Battlestar Galactica - Season Three

I was turned off by the number of actors smoking in this series, a bit of a warning to parents who care about their children's health. This is a science fiction series and smoking would and should be totally unnecessary. The very public lack of scruples on this subject by the producer of this show unfortunately makes it impossible for me to recommend this otherwise excellent series.

Letter to studio heads from 31 Attorneys General, May 1, 2007

Each time a member of the [film] industry releases another movie that depicts smoking, it does so with the full knowledge of the harm it will bring to children who watch it.

I think this says it all.

I enjoyed season three but not as much as season 1 and two. It seemed to be a little "darker" and a little more hopeless. I was frustrated with the actions of some of the characters. They made choices or did things that made no sense. It seemed that their actions were more of an attempt to create an interesting story or plot twist.

Season three has great extras. I enjoy keeping up to date on everything BSG, while waiting on 2009 and the final season. Now I can watch all the available seasons over and over until I figure out who the Final Cylon is!

Great series; excellent character development & acting. One of the best Sci Fi series of all time.

The New Caprica episodes are some of the best of this or any sci-fi series. A weak, somewhat confusing middle that weighs down the series a bit. And then, a great last few episodes leading up to the slam bang monster finale. Wow, the revelations at the end of this are bone jarring!
