Besides Democracy Now!, The Daily Show/Colbert Report, Battlestar Galactica has finally given me reason to occasionally flip away from C-SPAN.
Hands-down best casting in sci-fi - madam president is gripping and gorgeous (if only she could really be president..) I even love to painfully detest Gaius. James Almos gravitas is surprisingly realistic. There isn't a lame or seriously underdeveloping character yet.
True, cylons as humans isn't such a stretch, but that realism adds coolness. Also, it gives the actors loads of space for interplay and ethics violations with multiple partners!
Such a powerful show - it's re-awakened science fiction against it's will.
For the record Puce - I hunt down and destroy Firefly and Buffy memorabilia so lock that shit up at night, bro.
