Man this show is total crap. They use human cyclons cheep, They use 9mm, they drive humvees and world war 2 6 wheelers come on get real. Then they biker and fight so much i don

Excellent narrative with unparalleled depth in the context of modern sci fi. The season lost a little steam towards the end but left us with a compelling cliff hanger. The only fundamentally negative aspect of this new series are the female characters. Many either portrayed as chld abuse victims with gender identity disorder +/- various other psychopathies (Kara Thrace), sexually manipulative harlots (six, the XO's wife, Dualla), and of course the president playing the role of school mistress to the rest of the characters in the cheesiest way imaginable.… Expand

Great mirror of US invasions, assault on individual freedoms, courage, villainy and the nature of humanity. All in a TV show with better effects than most movies.

I find this show wonderfully unique and truthful (the social aspect).

It is the most awesome show on television. Why is it going away?

This is one of the best shows out there. The plot is fantastic, incorporating such sc-fi classics as sentient machines, the definition of intelligence and Lovecraftian ancient astronauts. The special effects are excellent on the whole, but whatever company does it needs work on it's smoke effects.

First episode I saw was 2x07 (Home, Part 2). No background information and seeing people in uniforms walking in a forest made me turn it off and forget about it (first impression: a total waste of time). Much later I had a chance to see it from the beginning and really got addicted. As everything in life, it has it´s ups and downs, but overall it is much more than just okay. My opinion is based on how far I got till now (Season 3 Ep. 2). Hope it stays this way. And hey, no jokes about Germans. I like that.… Expand

The most politically insightful show in the history of US pop culture, and the most dramatically realistic show on TV today. It's also a lot of fun.

I am on the second season now. While I am enjoying the chance to revisit the concept that captured my imagination as a child, I do have to poke pins in my legs every time I watch an episode to keep from scoffing at the heavy-handed use of character cliche in this series. The drama seems highly synthetic, and much of the dialog is predictable. But, the show remains enjoyable enough for its special effects.… Expand

For anyone willing to look past the title this show is the best Drama on television.

I stopped watching TV shows 10 years ago, and found BSG on iTunes. It is the only television show I watch. Fantastic story telling.

I am not a huge Sci-Fi fan, but this show is the best drama on TV. So relevant and timely...the writing and acting by the first-rate ensemble cast are amazing!

Good show. Easily the THIRD best drama on TV after LOST and Rescue Me. You kidding yourself (or simply don't watch those shows) if you think otherwise.

My favorite show..... sexy, scary, intriguing, nail-biting. Sometimes I am blown away about how good this show is. All the critics make a big deal out of the human drama of it all, which is great, but I think other elements are also great. The whole look of the show is great, including the special effects. The critics also try to play down the sci-fi aspects, but this IS defintely sci-fi, just of a quality that people dont expect from the genre. I dont think this show transcends its genre as much as it asks it genre to try to keep up.… Expand

Fantastic.

TV's hidden gem

This is a top notch show. The directing, writing, acting and effects are all superior to anything still playing on TV today. If you still remember the campy old version from the '70s...you won't after you watch the first episode. I highly recommend buying the first two seasons on Itunes and watching them before starting season 3. It will blow you away!

best fraking show on TV, Just Watch It!!!

Simply an outstanding series. For anyone who hasn't seen it, you really are missing out. You don't need to be a Sci-fi fan to enjoy it, its so well writen, acted, produced it stands head and shoulders above anything else (yes, even Lost) If they can keep it as good as it is and has been, then i'll be watching for years to come.

A show with actual depth? Doesn't happen very often. Everything if fantastic, the writing, acting, music, and so on.

Absofrackin' lootly fantastic...the vest show on TV, full stop.

Great show - always intelligent plots, interesting characterisations, intense action and thought provoking drama. Should stand proud along side other wonderful dramas like The Sopranos.

Historic entertainment. Completely engrossing story and characters.

Absolutely astounding! I'm not a sci-fi fan but this is the most amazing series that I have ever had the privaledge of watching.

Currently, this is without a doubt the best, smartest, most creative show on tv. I feel like I waited forever for the season premiere, and it totally came through. This is going to be an incredible season.

gattlebar salactica- geally rood!

The best show on television. Smart plot twists, fabulous acting and stunning visuals keep you hooked!

Finally a scifi show that doesn't rely on expensive special effects, techno doublespeek, and fancy costumes. The characters have been very well developed. The story, while fanciful, deals with human issues, and touches on today's issues without being overly political. I think this is one of the best series ever. I rarely ever make it a point to watch TV, and this has been the exception. Keep up the great work guys.… Expand

The two our season opener blew away my expectations. Its good to see the show has only gotten stronger.

Riveting. Intense drama. Sometimes hard to watch because of that. Best show on television, perhaps one of the best dramas on television ever.

This series continues to succeed and excel where other sci-fi ventures ultimately failed. Accept no substitute.

Best show on TV! I love it! Especially Tricia Helfer! She ROCKS!

Just when you think they can't top the previous season, Battlestar is taken in a new and presently relevant direction. The writing and vision can't get any better. If you haven't seen this show yet, now's the time to get onboard. Its gonna be a helluva ride.

Battlestar Galactica takes risks in character and themes that other shows only dream, and it does it with class! My only dissapointment is that people willl pass it off as spaceships and sci-fi. Too bad for them!

One of the best dramas on TV now and in the past. Unbeliveably sharp acting, writing and production. Don't be turned off by the SCI-FI genre - that's so interwoven, you'll hardly notice it ! Kudos to Sci-Fi and NBC for this production.

This is as good as television gets. This show is relevant on so many levels that it is hard to find someone who can't identify with it. It strikes a cord in us on a primal level by dealing with such issues as the love for our children, love for each other, the very survival of our species and how to go about ensuring that survival. Combine this with first class acting, writing, directing and special effects and you got one of the best shows ever made. Period.… Expand

Creepy, honest, and hitting at today and tomorrow's most likely conflicts. My one complaint is that the show's story is almost too "modern". I don't want to rehash what I saw on the news and see it being lifted and then mixed straight into a sci-fi story. I don't need words like "insurgents" or "infidels" to get the point. Nor do I want to keep getting beat with that analogy. The writers need to be careful to not turn BSG into purely Islam vs. the West copy. Otherwise the acting is amazing and really is on par or better than what CSI or even Lost has done. Kudos to the cast and directors. Stockwell is so quirky nice-guy bad that it's hard to hate him. The depressing part right now is that there is little heroism in this show to inspire you, everyone has got their back against the wall. But it is also what makes the show so watchable to see if anyone can rise up to make a difference.… Expand

I am a sci-fi fan and I have tried to get into this show. I just cannot keep from falling asleep when I watch this. If I want drama I will tivo soaps. As far as a sci-fi fix I will continue looking.

great series so far, lets just hope that they dont ruin things by straying from the sci-fi settings and trying to cater for an audience that its not ment for, if they do try and cater for the general viewing public then you can be sure that the show wil go downhill quickly.the only reason its worked so far is because they have kept to a formuler of the first season, but i expect season 3 may be a bit to political and start vering from what we know, lets hope baltar joins the cylons and and trys to destroy the rest of the human race.… Expand

SImply the best show on television and one of the best sci-fi shows in television history.

OMG. Flat bloody awesome.

Frankly one the best episodes of the show I've ever seen and there's been many many good episodes... Uneasy and very much darker than most plotlines in movies or TV shows, these episodes are a can't miss

One of the best episodes the series has ever had. i give it a 9.5 out of 10. So much has happened to our beloved characters, anyone who doesn't enjoy this gem of a show obviously has no taste. With an average of 9.5/10.0 with users AND critics, you can't say no to BattleStar Galactica!

Fantatstic!!Best show of the fall season by far.

One of the only shows worth watching on television!

Battlestar is fine television because it works on two levels. As a Drama the acting and stories are moving to the point of drowning out the fantastic setting, which is in itself an achievment. As science fiction it does not allow us to escape our everyday life, but forces us to look inward at what it means to be human in the wake of tremendous tragedy and responsibility.

Somehow, the most politically relevant show on TV. The writing and casting so good that the sci-fi label seems almost wrong. For me, the experience of watching this show is closer to "I Claudius" than "Star Trek."

The best show on TV by far... totally addictive, with great acting, writing, special effects... I pity those who are not watching it!

The best show on TV right now. I didn't get into this show until I was living abroad and downloaded the entire first two seasons from itunes. Now I am hooked.

BSG just keeps getting better and better.

I never thought I'd be grateful for commercials so I can remember to breathe. The most intense drama on television.

I live for Friday nites.

Simply the best show on television, no matter if you are a SciFi fan or not. It's biggest burden might easily be its name.

Hands down, the BEST show on television!

This show stands above all others with its superbly made stories that are relevant to the nature of our world today. Too many other programs are busy following formulas while this one is setting the mark which others shoot for.

Sinsiter and depressing. This is entertainment? Folks call BSG "Science fiction for people who hate science fiction." Hate is the operative word. I love science fiction, but BSG is none of that. It's social commentary on the very bleak side, definitely space opera with all the pew-pew-pew laser gun trappings, AlleGORY with a capital A and a capital GORY, but sci-fi it's not. Watch Rome or The Wire instead.… Expand

Almost unbelievably good, in all possible ways!

Simply put: Fantastic.

Absolutely "appointment TV"! Bummer that it's so hard to convince friends, family, & acquaintances to give a "sci-fi" (e-gad) show a try. It's a brilliant show with brilliant writing.

Hey Ann O, you should probably stick with "What About Brian". Agree with Jim S. The name makes it difficult to convince others to watch it. Great show that only gets more interesting.

This Reevisioned Series Shoots holes all over the original.

Babylon 5 used to be my favorite sci-fi show of all time. And MASH was my favorite show period. Now I have a new show that takes over the top spot for both: Battlestar Galactica is so much better than the original 70s series that there is almost no resemblence whatsoever. The acting is first-rate, the actors are well-cast, the writing is deep and pointed, topics are bleak and yet there is always a glint of hope each week. There is little chance it could get better, but I was glad when they got OFF of that planet. The writers (for some reason) seem to do better when the humans are trapped on the ship. The episode where they form the "circle" and execute people for treason with presidential permission was making a powerful statement against the current practices of the U.S. government. That was one of the best episodes I have ever seen of any TV show period.… Expand

Great show. Superb acting and depth of characters. Rich story lines to go along with colorful details. If I were a wine drinker I would say watching this is like drinking a fine wine. Now watch the frakking show!

The best scifi show ever created.

The best acted and written sci-fi series that has ever been on TV. It has something for everyone!

The Best Show on TV.

Battlestar Galactica puts the rest of science fiction, and the rest of drama, to shame. It successfully includes religious and political controversy in a meaningful way -- in deep space. phenomenal

Phenomenally powerful and gutsy show that is less about scifi and more about people, relationships and hugely compelling stories.

Outstanding. My favorite show on TV.

I just decided on a whim to start watching this show after reading so much of the critical acclaim. I blew through the first two seasons in less than two weeks and am finally watching the gripping third season. Amazing. This is genre transcending and finally fills the hole for socially relevant television that hasn't been filled since MASH. Amazing acting, amazing writing the producers have gotten unbelievable value out of a cable budget.… Expand

Not as good as first 2 seasons but I expect it to pick up when it returns next year.

Would like to see more of the space battles.

Few shows are gifted with the fine writers that create a powerful television series such as BSG. The episode "Unfinished Business" was beyond brilliant; melding an emotionally charged and brutally revealing back story via a shipboard boxing match taking place between rivals and crew was something to watch. Outstanding!

Great show but Episode 9 of third season is a mess ! some stupid romantic flash back patchwork. get the frak up and send the real show !

Easily the best show on television.

Best Sci-Fi Series EVER

I'd love to give this a lower score, die-hard cynic that I am, but... well, it's just so damnably good. The best TV show in decades, genre or not.

I love this show. It has really interesting characters, very interesting happenings, supplemented by very interesting spaceships and things.

awsome!! but needs more battles

Best TV Show ever, Sci-fi with action/drama touches on issues without over-doing it, much like Star Trek series' but on more serious note. Shows TV show doesn't have to be full of Big name actors to have good acting.

same thing they said great show. I want starbuck to hurt me...yeah...yeah...id like that

Amazing, superb acting and directing... this and Lost are one of the most innovative and exciting shows to air on screen ever... makes tv a worthwile medium again... you don't have to be a Scifi fan to love this, it stands on its own

I dowloaded BG a few weeks ago on my Ipod during a 3-week business trip to England. All I can say is WOW! This is the best series of television ever produced. Why it hasn't won multiple Emmy awards baffles the imagination. Shame on Hollywood.

my favority show on tv right now. shold be the standard for any series to follow. you can tell that everyone in this show loves what they are doing, the show and fans. with every episode the series gets better and better.

The darkest, most intelligent show on television refuses to drop the ball. Keep em comin, SciFi, this show is Golden.

Best. Show. Ever.

First season and pilot was great. This is season is good, but it's lost some momentum i think.

Sorry, but the new Battlestar Galactica series just seems way too overwrought and tedious to me. Sort of like watching Edward James Olmos doing "Days of Our Lives - in Outer Space". Or maybe like the 'soaps', the over-acting is the whole attraction. But hey, it's just TV and if it floats your boat, fine. What I'm curious about is why this series seems to attract the kind of fans who have such a spooky, almost religious fervor, and seem especially touchy about any kind of criticism from "unbelievers"? Or perhaps it's simply what happens when you watch too much over-dramatized, forced paranoia every week.… Expand

spectacular

"Or perhaps it's simply what happens when you watch too much over-dramatized, forced paranoia every week." Or when some a-hole comes here and trolls for a reaction because he has nothing better to do!

The first 1.5 seasons were better than the more recent ones, but it's still the only show I go out of my way to watch every week. It has become somewhat bogged down in its own continuity to the point. Also, the writing for Roslin's personality has been inconsistent (see the mining episode where she does a 180 on her position regarding unionized labor practices).

Might be just under a 7 for this season. First half was great but the second half? Not only was there a huge momentum loss (the lass 2 seasons also have a slight 'pause' after the halfway mark) but it went on for more than 8 episodes... It might be showing the LOST syndrome of a going off in more tangents even though you're there are dozens of unfinished threads Given they are perhaps trying to flesh characters out a little more....but why spend so much time on some on a couple of characters only to end up where we begun (plus writing in previous were good enough that we GET the character relationships). After delivering a corker of a couple episodes about the eye of jupiter and the standoff did they go STRAIGHT to character backstories....for 8+ episodes!?!? did some of the main writers quit or went on an extended break1?… Expand

Best show on TV, deals with actual issues and problems here on Earth, with a great story to go by.

i heard about this show a few months ago....i laughed until i saw it.......best show ever (watched all three seasons plus miniseries in a week)....great acting, music, and story....i cant fathom how anyone is not watching this show.....i cant wait till season 4!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is without question the best show on television.

One of the best shows on television. It's true that the second half of season 3 saw a loss in the plot's momentum, but events set into motion in the finale should provide sufficient excitement for impending season 4.

This is likely one of the best series of the past decade. If the point of art is to illuminate the human condition, this show does it excellently. While the 3rd season lulled just a bit, many series (Lost in particular) had large dropoffs, and the fact the BSG decided to end after just 4 seasons is brave and groundbreaking. I have every faith in Ron Moore and David Eick to go out on a high and exciting note in season 4.… Expand

Finally a science fiction show that doesn't know it's a science fiction show. We are not lead around by the hand on technology and do not have to suffer though lots of expository dialogue. Very well written. This is probably the last TV series revival I would have suspected. The original series tried too hard to be
