Cyrano, I believe you're actually solidly in the middle of the pack, age-wise.  Unless my memory has gone completely kaput, the vast majority of us are in our 40's & 50's, with a small (but still significant) percentage in their 60's.  I'm one of the youngest guys here, and I'm 38.  :P

...Which I still haven't watched.  :-[

Don't do it.  Watch seasons 1 and 2 and burn anything with season 3 or 4 written on it.  They're absolute shit.
Actually, I've watched all the way through the first half of season 4, and have enjoyed most of it.  So now I gotta sit down and grab 4.5, if only for completion's sake (I want to see the ending -- good or bad)!

I liked the ending, as well as seasons 3 and 4. But I'm 31, probably haven't had the (very, very long) amount of time the rest of you have to develop an appreciation for culture    ;).

The show was uneven during it's entire run. When it was 'on' it was brilliant, some of the best television ever made. When it missed, it was dumb, but generally still better than most shows.

I just rewatched Razor this weekend. That was solid.

The show us awesome but it suffered from an industry wide writers strike.  I felt the ending was meh. Its,still my favorite sci fi series.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Don't get me wrong, it's Top Ten all-time for sci-fi shows. Maybe top 5, but it was uneven. Much like Star Trek TOS and ST:TNG were uneven.

Seasons 1 and 2 were epic.  Definitely amongst the best sci-fi ever produced.  Season 3 suffered from the writers' strike, the series seemed to lose its drive and much of the tension as it devolved into the Cylon-of-the-week.  Season 4 started badly and ended with one of the worst series finales of all time.  Season 4 made Phantom Menace look like ESB in comparison.

Season 1 was the best of them all. Season 2 I really didn't like (and I'm probably in the minority on that one), but to echo Mirth, even a bad season of BG is light years better than normal TV crapola.

S2 turned me off of the series and it took years before I went back to it and got through the entire thing. The ride was entertaining through the rest of it but it just was not satisfying at all.

Is there a BSG box set?

si, señor.  I've got it on my shelf right next to Firefly (which is still in the shrink-wrap)

10 years of New Who. Where has the time gone?

Opie and Jimmy just pointed it out, so I thought I'd share the joy of THAT realization.  8)
