I agree and this one made me really sad, that show was so good. The turn that Battlestar Galactica took was caused by the writers strike back in the day. That strike unfortunately impacted a lot of good shows (Heroes was another one) and pushed reality TV onto us because no writers were required for a script. IMO, it had a pretty severe negative impact on what and how we watch things today. It was a crappy time for tv.

I still stand by the writers though and supported them striking at the time.
