Let's start at the top:
- Battlestar Galactica - Season One [HD DVD]
If you've stumbled across the show broadcast in HDTV on the UHD cable channel, you know that Galactica is really something else when you can see all the detail.
Price: $69.95
- Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]
Caprica Six, meet your cinematic ancestors -- the angry existentialist Ray, the touchy Leon, the cheerfully desperate Pris and the ass-kicking Zora. And, of course, Rachel. (I couldn't be offering a spoiler on this 1977 movie, could I?) You have to wonder if we'd have Battlestar Galactica if we didn't have Blade Runner. Remastered, re-edited by Ridley Scott, this is the definitive edition.
Price: $27.95 for the 5-disc Blu-ray set, $66.95 for the Blade Runner (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition)
(aka the special edition with dead tree material added)
- Firefly - The Complete Series
The mood of Galactica wouldn't be possible if it weren't for Firefly, which aired a few years before. This sci-fi classic series was ill-treated by the television, but lives on in gorgeous DVD video that upconverts very nicely, thank you.
If you haven't seen Firefly, you're in for a treat. These characters you will love -- they will be your friends for life. I swear!
Price: $39.99
- Cowboy Bebop Remix, Volume 1
You couldn't have Firefly without Cowboy Bebop. This anime series manages to surprise you. And the music is pretty cool, too.
Price: $17.49
Happy Holidays, Space Cowboy!
