@ZdPhoenix (Well said!!) As a dedicated fan of the original BG, I was reluctant to give this new series its due. I'm just now discovering Season 1 & 2 on Hulu and I have to say I'm loving it. It truly is an exploration of the human condition. Each episode has me on the edge of my seat, and that is what great story telling is suppose to do. The original series like all things 70s was a bit surface, and more feel good. Kudos to the writers of this awesome reinvigorated, re imagining.

@RubenKremer You just defined what I have been telling my girfriend, I´m watching it all over again, it´s even better the second time, since you can get lots of details that escaped you before. :)

@johnjnukemsheridan The point of drama is to explore the human condition, not to be a family friendly. If the sex and violence is incidental it would be just sensational, but in a show about what it is to be human, the value of love and hate and some fairly direct post 9-11 allegories, they're pretty intrinsic.
There's a reason why this show wins prestigious awards and gets a special at the UN.

@ZdPhoenix *saying BSG is about fucking . . . or saying frak for that matter.

@johnjnukemsheridan You saying BSG is about fighting is about as insightful as someone saying Fight Club is about fighting. Or that Moby Dick is about sailing.
Now, B5 is a beautifully plotted show and I love it dearly, but it's also really trite at times and has some of the clunkiest dialogue imaginable. If you like that show more then that's valid, there's no need to be a baby about what other people prefer.

@johnjnukemsheridan No, high brow comes from reflecting life and grown up issues - you're just stripping the rest of it away and sensationalising it for your own purposes. The idea that portraying sexuality makes something automatically lowbrow is quite painfully ignorant.
If you hate the show that's your taste, but you're not the arbiter of what 'real' sci fi is - that just makes you sound stuck up, and writes off a hell of a lot of science fiction literature.

@ZdPhoenix I'm sorry. But I simply will not be sold on a show because of "risque elements" mentioned in the advertising...that's alarm bell #1 for me because I'm a cynical SOB with a brain of my own - especially when everything today is sold on the lowest common denominator basis...If it's so important to show fucking in shows/films cos of the "emotional quota" then why aren't we viewers as frequently shown a person struggling due to emotional stress to squeeze out a shit? Hmmm?! ;D

@vanquisher111 Everyone has their own taste and opinion. I personally think it was a welcome change of tone, an improvement on the scifi-genre. The action in most series is there because of the action. The action in this series was there because of the story. I prefer the latter approach.
