    The Master is great in this, doing the full Bond villain routine, with a chauffeur and a fat cigar and a plot to take over the world. Plus UNIT have a really excellent gun battle as they storm the prison. Plus nightmare sequences, a glamorous Chinese lady spy, and the Puff the Magic Dragon! Can't wait to see this in its psychedelic glory.

    Good gravy, do I love the Master! He is absolutely camp, even in his most "serious" incarnation. And now he's in color again! This is brilliant, and those responsible for this science (which certainly, on a technical level, this approaches) are quite cool for having the brains to even imagine such things. As a fan of outmoded technologies (I successfully repaired my grandparents' CED Player last year) I salute you.

    Now it's off to play Scissor Sisters' "I Can't Decide" and find myself giddy over the misery of others.

    Best restoration job still goes to the animated episodes of the The Invasion.

    Love those so much.

    the cavil character has been elevated way beyond what he/they should have been. BSG went off the rails towards the end, and that whole BS thing about "Daniel is Starbuck's father" was just irritating to listen to. You can't have writers who take a "make stuff up as you go" approach when you have a serialized show like BSG.

    Woo hoo!

    Hopefully we'll get much more God, Miracles and Angels in this one. Because that would make just the most perfect Science Fiction TV movie EVER.

    Let me explain what happened.

    The writer (and I believe the showrunner) for this "movie" was Jane Epenson, who as we all know sucks and ruined the last few episodes, if not the entirety of the last season of BSG.

    This means that this "movie" also sucks.

    The point of the movie was to make money off of DVD sales, plain and simple, not to tell a story.

    Since the "movie" sucks, no one will buy the DVD of it -- if they see it first.

    So they release it on DVD first, to squeeze the last few financial drops of blood out of the loyal BSG fan base before it becomes known that the "movie" sucks.

    Frankly, the last season ruined BSG so much for me that I have no desire to see it nor do I ever want to see anything made by Jane Epenson.

    @fletchtastic: "The writer (and I believe the showrunner) for this "movie" was Jane Epenson, who as we all know sucks and ruined the last few episodes, if not the entirety of the last season of BSG."

    No, the lack of forward planning from s3 onwards wrecked the last eppisodes.

    Jane Epenson was just responsible for not coming up with a neat ret-con to explain away all the resurrection/new Viper/different earth/angel of death/nonsense.
    And the whole lets-all-die-out stuff.
    And the silly laughing at the end.
    And..
    well, ok, lots.
    But not -everything-.

    Why do they do this? Does 'SYFY' even have any shows anymore? You'd think they'd want to actually have something to air on their 'network'.

    @Kiamat: The SyFy site has the same shipping date for the Blu-Ray version. Attempts to find a date for the Region 2 UK release have so far met with failure. Amazon.co.uk is currently only showing the Blu-Ray version as a US Import, release date also Oct 27th.
