Amazon UK say that Battlestar Galactica Season 3 will be on sale in 4 months. Is it worth buying?

Rememer, no spoilers! I haven’t seen it yet!

I’m buying it and I’ve seen all the episodes. So if you enjoyed the first two, I’d say yes. I can say no more.

On the whole, yes.

Season three is _extremely_ uneven. There are a couple of embarrassingly bad episodes, and some of the soap-opera stuff drags like crazy. But the overall plot _really_ moves forward, and when it’s at its best, it’s as good as it’s ever been.

And best of all, on DVD, if you find a given episode to be subpar, you can immediately queue up the next one, rather than stew for a week. 🙂

IMO if you have to ask, then no. The first two seasons were better.
