Most sci-fi fans have a favorite TV show. For a lot of them, it's Battlestar Galactica. We're not talking about the 1978 Lorne Greene version. The 2004 slick, SyFy version continues to have a huge following, and even spawned the 2010 prequel, Caprica.
If you missed the boat (er, ship?), Amazon wants to give you a chance to check out the entire series, with a good deal on the box set. Today's Gold Box Deal of the Day is Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series. Both the Blu-ray and the DVD versions are on sale, offering 62 percent off each set's list price.
