Just watched part 1 of the season 2 finale and all I can say is frack...
What a good episode that one was. I am really impressed with the level of quality they are pouring into this series. The writing, effects, acting, etc. Great Sci Fi! |

Sorry. I can't vote since my favourite character without a doubt is Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valeri. And with that I mean both of them. She/They are really saying tha most interesting question in the show. What is a human? |

Agreed about Baltar/Blonde former lingerie model chick - my brain turns off when he's on screen, flickers to life when she's not wearing much, and turns off again when he starts mumbling to himself.
In the UK we're still only half a dozen episodes into series 2, so no spoilers please!
I'm also impressed by the quality of this series - excellent cast and production values from what I've seen.
Last 'mainstream' sci fi I can remember watching was 'Enterprise', and that was toss, no wonder they cancelled it.
Star Trek should take a different direction if it's to get the viewing figures again I think - stories from the point of view of the Romulans, Klingons and various other races, lots more space battles etc.
Galactica looks to be in good hands though |

EDIT: Since I always click on the links when they are in the "last three topics", the "modern" part of the subjectline was cropped. If it has to be modern - *blech* - then I'd vote for Boomer, too. Otherwise my initial post still stands:
Dirk Benedict as Starbuck. |

Can't believe I left boomer off the list. Agreed, she is a BIG part. HUGE in fact. I initially left her off, because of all her copies portrayed with varying persona's, it was almost too complex to just vote for ONE boomer. I was confused with her and thus left her off. I dont know why.
Her story and character is a complex one and quite possibly the main story and now I see the error of my ways as she would probably be leading the polls! Even I don't want to deal with the boomer issue.
Go figure.
She gets no justice even in my poll. Poor poor boomer. |

Why would that make you confused? The old and the new BSG are different series, so there's nothing strange about characters being different in the two series. |

This whole remake thing sucks. Give me Lauren Greene and Dirk Benedict and the cheesy synthesized cylon voice any day. What crap this is... |
