 galacticon review July 5, 2009
Lori Stromitis (North Platte, NE USA)
not having purchased a dvd like this before was not sure what i had until i played it...as it was, if you like to watch actors talk about their lives since the original series of battlestar galactica, then its a fairly good dvd...
 Neat to see how the actors turned out October 11, 2008

Basically show the old cast talking and telling things as the experienced and what they have done since.
Wonderful content, amateur quality. March 30, 2006

I totally enjoyed watching this DVD and catching up with most of the people who were involved in the original Battlestar Galactica series. It's a little spendy for a DVD, but if you are a true fan of BSG I am certain you will enjoy seeing all those stars talking and answering questions about BSG twenty five years later. And, they talk about the new series too.
I was disappointed in the quality of the production. It's amateur cam-corder level stuff (maybe a nice cam-corder) but it's really all about the content and not the production.

When viewing convention film or attending one, I am not sure what floors me more: that there are so many people selling Battlestar Galactica TV Series uniform insignia for so much money as 'classic items", or that there are so many people who spend big money on these items without realizing they are being taken.
Specifically:
- the Colonial Warrior insignia is in reality insignia for US Army Military Intelligence officers (in fact, a joke running around the Army in the late 70s / early 80s was that we were all 'Viper Pilots'). Rather than spend 20 dollars for a pair at a convention, one should order them directly from Vanguard for 5 bucks!
- the insignia that Commander Cain and his guys wore are the US Navy's Command Afloat insignia or an altered version of them. Again, go online and order for far less that the crooks at the conventions are selling them for.
- most of the various patches used throughout the series are US Army unit patches (with a few USAF ones thrown in if they look cool enough). For example, the 78th Infantry Division patch is the red, half circle with a lighting bolt used on the ice planet episode; the 18th Medical Command patch is used by the Pegasus crew; the lower part of the USASOC patch is used by someone at one point ..... and on and on.
Fans who think they are buying authentic versions from the show or authentic recreations are fooling themselves. You could never find affordably priced insignia and patches in the low numbers we see for the series or later sales. It would cost just too much for the molds and embroidery. They are all purchased direct from the uniform supply companies or from Surplus stores. Does anyone really think that a series known for it's cheapness like Battlestar Galactica would have laid out the bucks for special moldings and embroidery, or for the numbers of 'authentic' insignia we still see being shopped around?
It is what it is - a great convention DVD September 15, 2004

I've attended many conventions and bought these type of videos and DVDs of the events before. This is a great one and captures what went down at the 25th Anniversary con pretty well it seems. I couldn't make it to the convention and this DVD helped me to deal with that fact by bringing me the highlights. It's true that you have to turn up the volume to catch all the questions being asked and that sort of thing is often a common factor of these kind of DVDs. I love GALACTICA so I shouldn't be surprised that the people who made the show so much fun all come across as extremely entertaining folks on this DVD. This is a great purchase.
