As a non-cable subscriber, I have really begun to love this series from the DVDs. It's a little difficult when they release season 1 and half of season 2.In season 2 vol 1 we get into the characters more and learn more about the society that had been the 12 colonies of Kobol. Some memorable moments are:- Cheif Tyrol decides he's tired of losing Vipers one at a time and designs and constructs a new model.- Col. Tigh tries to take over after Adama is shot, but his personality flaws make matters much worse.- The Boomer Swapperoo: Cali gets a Cylon kill (not bad for a deck mechanic).- "Kobol-henge"This is Sci-Fi TV at it's best. The stories are tense, serious, and funny (in spots) and I definitely will be buying any season they care to put out. The commentaries and deleted scenes are good, but I wish they would have released the entire second season rather than splitting it up.If you like Sci-Fi (some might say "space-opera") then you need this series. What are you waiting for?
