Henry James is very similar to the Levar character.

I watched most of the first two seasons and really enjoyed it. It’s amazing how much of the quality television nowadays is found outside of the major networks.

Then I got busy with work and forgot to keep up.

You’ve inspired me. I’m hitting Netflix and doing a catch up marathon.

I read somewhere that a prequal (sp), is in the works…taking place 50 years or so before the Cylon rebellion and one of the central characters are Admiral Adama’s parents. Could be interesting.

Hands down, it’s the most thought provoking show ever on television. It’s about us, right now.

Couple that with the acting and the writing, and it’s my favorite show. Too many people have dismissed it as cannned sci-fi on the strength of their memories of Erin Gray in spandex. That’s sad. This show is no more about sci-fi than FNL is about football. The similarities between the two shows are substantial, but I think BSG wins any comparisons. I suppose that being on the SciFi Network must have freed the makers of many traditional retraints. If this show was on ABC, it would likely suck ass. However, it has been allowed to do its own artsy, intelligent thing to great advantage. And the good news is that it will apparently be allowed to finish the story.

I’d add one episode to you list: I just saw (again) the one where Adama gives his son the lighter from his father. It’s probably my favorite. Baltar is tremendous in this one.

What’s awesome about the show is that you tune expecting one thing [sci fi shoot em up] and you get something totally different. Really reminds me of Friday Night Lights in that respect.

the first episodes I saw were about the cylon occupation of new caprica, and the human insurgency - complete with IEDs, suicide bombers, and human vs human retribution. This was in 2006 I think, and it completley caught the zeitgeist of our current hostilities.
On Comcast channel 208, the Universal HD channel, they reran all episodes and seasons in HD. I was able to see most of the episodes, and you’re right about “33.” It made you exhausted just watching it. Thanks for validating me inner nerd.

This show needs Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas.

For your “best drama” blasphemy, Mr. Friendly is going to pay you a visit from the dead.
