"The Fight to Save Humanity Rages On

Sci-fi's hottest TV series returns as Battlestar Galactica Season 2 blasts onto DVD.

As the epic second season begins, the fight to save humanity rages on - even as civil war looms within the fleet between the followers of President Roslin and Commander Adama. Relive all the intensity and excitement aboard the Galactica with a supernova of explosive bonus features. It's a heart-pounding adventure you can't afford to miss!"

Until we get the DVDs here in Germany it will take a few decades. We haven't seen Season 2 either.

Is it usual that DVD sets are released before it comes on air?

Season 2 has already aired in the UK, the US and Canada so it has already aired somewhere. Also the first half of season 2 has been our here in Canada for months already with a heafty price of $50CAN for just 10 episodes. The second half will be similiarly priced and there is no word yet about a combined set.

Personally I refuse to spend $100 for 1 season of a show that I'll be ablr to catch in syndication for years to come (also why I refuse to by Trek)

Rod.

99.9% of the time DVD's come out before the show being aired on Australian TV, with the only exception I can think of is the UK created Dr Who.

US, UK and Canada are really lucky compared to the rest of the world when it comes to sci-fi shows.

Season 9 of SG-1 just started on TV lasy Thursday night, BSG Season 1 hasn't even aired yet. Thats why I am now in the habit of buying the DVD sets, they may be pricey but its the only way I get to see all the US/Canada based sci-fi shows.

That must be really annoying tho having to buy them. I really dont understand why yous have to wait so long like. ps Intrepid season 2s alot better than season 1.

It has happened before with Enterprise season 4 being on DVD months before its Australian broadcast.

Ahh.. actually season 1 was shown last year.

Ahh.. actually season 1 was shown last year.

My mistake, I must of missed that, though it doesn't matter as I own the box set and will be buying season 2 they day it comes out along with S9 of SG-1. I have the next week off work too so you can all guess what I will be doing.
