OT: Season 3 BSG

[AMF]

I began watching BSG with a very sceptical eye, having come to the conclusion years ago that Sci-fi was no longer a viable form of literature but merely popcorn. I was a hesitant watcher, but from the first moment, I had beenmesmerized. BSG is GREAT TV. It makes one think, question, look around, and it sticks with you far after the show is over. It makes you wonder about all the important things and obsess about the unimportant and everything in between. It is stunning TV. And I hate TV.

Now, having just seen the first episode of the third season, I can honestly say that, in my 38 years of existence, it is the best sci-fi I have ever seen.

I mean, if you want good v evil, robots v humans, black v white, then go watch star wars or star trek or something like that. But BSG is about humans, in all our foibles and bs dealing with trauma and death and life and all that entails...and it does it all in a futuristic environment.

It is perfect. I can't off the top of my head think of a way to make it better.
