That may seem like an obvious point to make. Not only is that the beginning of the story — it introduces many of the characters and some major elements in the story — but it's also a great way to test the waters and decide if this is the show for you.
You probably heard Battlestar Galactica is great. And you're probably like, "yeah, but I don't really like space shows. People keep telling me not to worry about that, though. If you love it, dive into the series.

However, chronologically its set during the events of season two and so it makes more sense to watch it here, although you may want to be aware of some dialogue at the end which sets up season four. If you consider yourself super strict on anything remotely spoilery, we advise that you mute the TV at a couple of key moments in the last 10 minutes.
