Battlestar Galactica Season 1 DVD - how many episodes?

Question

Just getting into Battlestar Galactica (the new version) and want to watch the seasons I have missed. I noticed that a lot of cheap season 1 DVDs only have 10 episodes on them, when there were 13 episodes in total. Why is this? Where are the other 3 episodes? There doesn't seem to be an option to buy these missing 3 separately, only as part of the 13 episode sets, which are a lot more expensive.

Answer 1

I have thirteen episodes on mine.
33
water
Bastille Day
Act of Contrition
You Can't Go Home Again
Litmus
Six Degrees of Separation
Flesh and Bone
Tigh me up Tigh me down
The Hand of God
Colonial Day
Kobols Last Gleaming Part 1
Kobols Last Gleaming Part 2

Answer 2

Not sure... but Rob above is correct. The DVD set has the 13 eps listed, and those comprise the entire season 1.

The miniseries (pilot tv movie) is also included in the set. However, I seem to remember hearing a review stating that outside of the audio commentary, that the other extras that were included in the original dvd release of the miniseries were not included in the season 1 set. Not sure myself... I have both and since I already had the miniseries release, I only watch that and have never watched the first dvd of the season 1 set.

Only reason I can think of for some of the discrepancies you are talking about is that some people might be combining 33 and Water, since they were shown back to back and do lead into each other like a 2 parter... same with Act of Contrition/ You Can't Go Home Again and Kobol's Last Gleaming pts 1 and 2.

Answer 3

It's totally lame. Universal didn't clearly label some of their initial shipments of DVD's to let customers know that it wasn't ALL of the episodes of Season 1. They were probably rushing it to print so they could make some quick bucks, then get even more once they re-released a set with all 13 episodes.

Lame.
