Featuring the final 10 episodes of season one, the story continues to follow a group of soldiers, scientists and civilians that was unexpectedly transported to the other side of the universe. Stranded billions of miles from Earth on an Ancient ship known as the Destiny, the passengers encounter adventures beyond their wildest dreams as they struggle to survive.

The brand new game challenges players to use their knowledge, intelligence and skillfulness to jump through a series of time loops in order to return to the Destiny. In addition, the “SGU 1.5” Blu-ray Disc and DVD feature a universe of bonus materials including 15 behind-the-scenes featurettes, video diaries and commentary on every episode.

I refuse to buy these half season sets.
AndyMac says
Me too.
Kyle Nin says
“I refuse to buy these half season sets.”
Yeah, me too. But even if they were selling the full season set, I don’t think it would be worth enough to buy.
Michael Falkner says
I prefer complete series sets.

I *so* miss the days when a freaking “season” meant you got 22 episodes of a show, one after the other.
I’m not entirely sure where it started, but it seems to have spread onto every network. Half a dozen episodes here, a few more there, then a wait of most of a year, and it comes back for a trickle more right when I thought the show was cancelled and / or I stopped caring.
Now, this “Volume 1.5” crap is just pathetic – they can’t even by rights use the *word* “season” anymore.
VyseN1 says
I think it started with BSG, when they released season 2.0. It seems to be a thing that shows on the Sci-fi channel do a lot.
Skiznot says
The only thing I like about the half season set, with this show specifically, is that I don’t have to wait and it’s nice to have during those long annoying mid-season breaks. Maybe they’re testing the secondary market to work that into the shows earning potential. Blah, I’m just happy I don’t have to wait that long. I’ve really enjoy re-watching the first half. It’s even better the second time.

22 episodes? I miss the days when a “season” meant you got _26_ episodes.
Baldrik says
Just don’t buy the things and flood the Amazon reviews with complaints – give me all or nothing !
