I did download all the eps of Battlestar Gallactica last fall and watched them all. While I was watching, I found them fairly entertaining. The guy who did this, Ron Moore, is the same guy who did Deep Space Nine, which I still think is the best Trek ever, and I can see recurring themes in BG that he toyed with in DS9, with religion and war and the like. The difference is that DS9 had light episodes and comedy and positive stuff that balanced out the rest which made it a more entertaining series. To me, Battlestar Gallactica is so unrelentingly bleak and depressing. I watched the first couple of eps this season but just didn't feel the need to watch the next few I downloaded. I ended up deleting them without watching them (as opposed to eps of shows I really like which I watch as soon as I can). To me, that tells me I'm just not into the show. He's failed to engage my interest in any of the characters or the situation. Which is too bad, because it is very well written and well acted.
