Re: The Original Battlestar Galactica
I strongly suggest watching season four, it's awesome.
I went through a strange love hate love relationship with BSG. I adored season one...liked half of season two then got very angry with it. Anger induced by being such a fan of season one. So I quit, for about two years I think. Then something led me to pick up season 3.
To this day it's one of my favourite shows. I rewatched it again recently in Blu-ray on my new TV and found it particularly pleasant...
To this day, while I agree they made it up as they went along, it feels like it hangs together. In my head I love season one most (for its straight up political/military drama) and I love season four for its over the top mystical elements and some great story arcs. The bits in between are where its' foggier... the end of season two still has some terrible episodes, and season three is very inconsistent.
I love the show for what it was, and what it became.
I don't know who would say stop after three... I'd tell new people to skip most of three if you and and go straight to four! Plus the end episode to me is one of the finest end episodes of any TV show.
