Battlestar Galactica



After hearing lots of raving reviews from mainstream TV critics (non Sci-Fi community) who usually consider Sci-Fi shows cheesy I was pretty optimistic about Galactica.
As it turns out its actually a soap opera with a Sci-Fi backdrop. They're probably setting some sort of record with repeated footage per episode. I mean there's a recap at the beginning of every show like its the season finale. The more I watch season 2 the more it feels like the show is more about the people and their relationships rather than about the fight against the Cylons.
Take for example the episode Resurrection Ship, I bet there's more footage of Apollo floating in space than the actual fight against the Cylons.
I'm the first person to agree that Stargate Atlantis makes Stargate SG-1 look like Wormhole X-treme but give good old cheesy Sci-Fi anytime over one of the best shows on TV.
