Possibly unconnected to your post, possibly not, but something I always liked about BSG was that it always left me free to make up my own mind about things. I've seen season 1 a few times now, and I remember how, when I first watched it, I was all about Apollo and Starbuck while being completely bored with Helo and Sharon. Since rewatching that has totally turned around, because the show gave me things about all the characters to consider and turn over in my mind. The characterization is so good.

IDK, that doesn't make much sense now that I've said it. /o\
