Fans of Syfy's reimagined Battlestar Galactica can revisit the 2003 miniseries that started it all, the 2004-2009 series that kept the story going, and even a 2009 TV movie (The Plan) that filled in the plot details. All three films are available to stream now on Prime Video.

As a whole, this Battlestar iteration is revered as one of the greatest sci-fi series of all time. It spun a yarn of resilience, sacrifice, morality, deception, faith, and what it means to be human at all, all in the guise of a human-versus-robot battle royale.

But that doesn't mean every episode is a winner. If episodes like Season 2's much-hyped "Black Market" have you chanting the mantra "There must be some kind of way outta here," point your Prime Video app to the episodes below, our picks for BSG's most important chapters. (Spoilers ahead!)

This exposition-heavy miniseries and backdoor pilot introduces viewers to the updated Battlestar Galactica as the Cylons bombard the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, debilitating most of the colonies’ fleets, making Roslin (Mary McDonnell) president and Adama (Edward James Olmos) admiral of the remaining ships. Adama promises the survivors they’ll find the much-maligned Earth, but they have two traitors in their midst: Baltar (James Callis), who knows he’s a Cylon collaborator, and Boomer (Grace Park), who doesn’t know she’s a Cylon herself.
