I think the half seasons was a rush to get money to help keep making the series while they were on the air.
Later, in the afterglow of critical acclaim, after the sets were scrapped and actors were let go, entire seasons were made... Not forgetting that global releases could have completely different plans if you remember that Regions drive Chinese walls down between the distributors.
There's another BSG movie set between and on top of the episodes for most of season one and two showing the Cylon perspective of everything that happened.
Shhhh.... But there are reasons not to watch that till much later.
