There is nothing, absolutely nothing out there to match it. Watch the Mini-Series first, that is a must. Then watch magic. You can skip Razor. It's good, but not crucial. The final two episodes of Series 1, (Kobols Last Gleaming 1 and 2.) were the finest examples of television made to date. To give you an idea how high a rating that is, I am a TSCC fan, through and through. I showed spouse the mini-series and she watched it, 3 episodes a night, right through January:) brendan IF you haven’t seen BSG, what are you waiting for?

Brilliantly done. I loved the way the “skin jobs” began to think independently of the whole. They exhibited individual desires, feelings, and ultimately began following their own paths. It started to make a real mess of things. Did I say brilliant? My husband’s best friend is good friends with Ron Moore and he told us a funny story. He told us that Ron told the crew that they needed to cut corners, meaning costs. The crew, playing a joke on him, cut all the corners on the paper. That is why all the paper used on the Galactica had the corners cut. In the end I suspect that ended up costing more. LOL The hubby and I loved this show! Brilliantly done.

I thought it one of the most brilliant TV shows ever produced. They didn't coddle you, or talk down-- they assumed intelligence. That's actually why I didn't like the very sherry end of the last episode. They'd trusted us all along, and then at the end had to hit us over the head saying "get it? get it?" LOVED this show!

We ordered them through Netflix, and would race through them as quick as we could. "Did you forget to mail the disk back?" That little question could ruin a weekend. Great piece!

Loved it for a while, but never finished the series. Great drama and emotional arcs are one thing, but unrelenting darkness and shades of grey from all characters finally got to be too much for me. As you say, it's a shame. It was a great series for all the reasons mentioned in the original post. Fabio, I had a similar experience with BSG. Loved it for a while, but never finished the series.

I fell in love with the show after it ended and went off the air for all the reasons that you've listed here. I think I got distracted after Episode 6, but I'll bump it up on the Netflix queue. :D Thanks for reminding me why I need to finish watching BSG!

That was probably my least favorite part of the show. I wonder if it isn’t that the earliest episodes are filled with a little too much of Gaius Baltar talking to the #6 cylon in his head.
