The cast of Battlestar Galactica

The re-imagined Battlestar Galactica was initially unveiled as a science fiction miniseries which was first broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel on December 8, 2003. It spawned a regular television series which premiered on Sky One in the UK & Ireland on October 18, 2004 and on Sci Fi Channel in the U.S. on January 14, 2005. The miniseries and seasons one and two have been released on DVD in both the U.S. and UK. The miniseries and episodes are also available for download on the iTunes Store in the United States.

This is a complete list of episodes for the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series, in original broadcast order. All titles are provided by the studio; however, in keeping with current trends and policies, these titles are not mentioned on screen.

In the second season, each episode had a Survivor Count, an official total of known Colonial refugees within the Galactica fleet. This number was shown at the beginning of each episode during the opening credits. The character Laura Roslin kept track of this number on a whiteboard in her office. The number often decreased as people died; occasionally it increased as children were born or new survivors were discovered. This count was not included in the early third season, but resumed with the episode "Collaborators".

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Season Two 2.0: December 20, 2005 August 28, 2006 August 14, 2006
2.5: September 19, 2006

The miniseries was released in the UK on 1 March 2004 and in the U.S. and Canada on 28 December 2004, and included deleted scenes, audio commentary, and a behind-the-scenes documentary.

The first season was released to DVD on 28 March 2005 and 20 September 2005 in the UK and North America respectively and included deleted scenes. The American set also included featurettes, and a tongue-in-cheek promotional special filmed for the Sci Fi Channel in addition to the miniseries, however without its deleted scenes and making-of documentary from the standalone miniseries DVD.

The second season was released in its entirety in a single volume in the UK, but issued in two separate volumes (dubbed "Season 2.0" and "Season 2.5") in the U.S. to correspond with the mid-season break in the broadcast schedule. Each U.S. volume contains half of the season, along with deleted scenes and podcasts that were previously available on the official website. "Season 2.5" also contains an extended version of "Pegasus", the last episode of the first half of the season. The Region 2 DVDs include the extended version of "Pegasus", as well as the commentaries and deleted scenes from the U.S. 2.0 release, but do not contain any of the commentaries and deleted scenes from the 2.5 release (other than the extended Pegasus episode), nor the original, shorter version of "Pegasus" included on the U.S. 2.0 release. The Canadian DVD release of Season 2.0 was delayed until 25 April 2006, as the episodes had only begun airing in January 2006.

[edit] Online availability

In January 2006, Apple began offering the miniseries, season one and season two episodes for purchase on the U.S. version of its iTunes Store. After a delay, season three episodes have also started appearing in the store. NBC Universal, the producer and owner of the show, have provided a number of its shows for purchase the day after broadcast to U.S. customers.[2]
