  1. There are many small and wonderful dramatic accomplishments in the underappreciated gem that is Battlestar Galactica, but perhaps the most enduring is that what was conceived of as an epic space adventure has turned into a finely detailed, intimate drama.

    The premiere should please fans who consider Battlestar Galactica a landmark and entice newcomers to look at previous seasons on DVD.

    The series' brilliant conceit is that enemies are often sane and rational, and many good guys and gals are obsessed, flawed, and ruthless.

    gotta laugh at the people who say that machines using faith makes no sense... and then procede to suggest star wars as good sci fi. bsg has moved far beyond the "star wars ripoff" the 1970's series was. if you haven't watched this show yet, do yourself a favor. Expand

    Subpar to date - I'm considering the heretofore unthinkable, stopping watching. I consider seasons 1 and 2 to be great Tv, 3 started the slide, now we are here. Expand

    What was a promising show ends in flames. Not enough imagination, too much space soap opera. The line between cylons and humans merge and there really is no difference. The contrast between machine and man from earlier seasons is lost. Everyone acts the same way. The mystery of the cylon is completely shredded by writers of the show. They show no characteristic of their condition or background. All Cylons act like they just walked out of an episode of a reality show in the year 2008. Maybe the show is running out of money, maybe the show want to reach more audience, but at least think first before making crap up on the spot. Expand
