Best show on TV, EVER!!!

This 4 season is the biggest delusion of my life (as a TV watcher of course.)

I totally agree with MonoApe Ape. I loved the ship designs and technology elements in the series, and some philosophical references, but machines having FAITH !?! that is far from SCI-FI machines built to compute and rely on reference logic can never have such pointless faith and stuff. And whats up with all that god mumbo-jumbo. There were too many cliches and the uniforms the space marines are wearing are too much alike SWAT teams, the weapons they used are also not compatible with the general texture of the series. I MEAN come on if you are making a sci-fi and if its about a people that has nothing to do with us humans PLEASE give some time to design OIRIGINAL uniforms etc at least ! These are very crucial in a sci-fi, the watcher must lose contact with todays human society in order to enter into the atmosphere of what they are watching. In general I couldnt connect to the whole battlestar galactica concept I general found myself bored (except for the first season) watching. This series is a light sci-fi movie directed at general crowd who doesnt pay attention to detail and has little idea about sci-fi and philosophy. Big disappointment for me in general. Look at the real sci-fi works such as star wars and ghost in the shell, that is how sci-fi is made. IMAGINE DEEP. (cylons with ak-47's and 15000 yrs ago yeah right) - its like scientology.

Easily the best SciFi drama ever. Atleast the best TV SciFi drama. I hated the original so much I didn't watch the first season. I was surprised to see so much religious emphasis in a Sci-Fi show but in retrospect it all seems plausible.

I'm so bummed. I LOVED this show. But in my opinion it jumped the shark long ago. In fact it's now more like a soap opera than a sci-fi show. I think it all happened when Starbuck came back to life, and Apollo turned in his wings. The majority of the episodes after that were shaky. Some like chinese water torture. Too bad. It was a great show.

Travis A gave it an8:
BSG is undoubtedly one of best shows in a long time, and the 1st season kicked some serious butt. However, I feel the show, at times, lacks focus. There seems to be this endless babbling of incoherent emotion...it has become more like a soap opera staged in space than a Sci Fi adventrue. The main theme of the show seems to be that of depression and it has certainly become depressing to watch. I give it an 8 because the first season was that good and a part of me keeps hoping that the writers will come to their senses and deliver back to us a once brilliant show.

Aaron S gave it an8:
A great concept. A good, but uneven start. Based on Whedon's track-record it's well worth giving it his usual period to mature.
