Everyone to whom I have suggested this show has given me some degree of resistance- until they watch "33" and "Water". After that they are, to a man, addicted.

My mom was the same way. For about a month I kept telling her to just try it. "Oh, I dunno..." Well then she did and now she's a bigger fanatic than I am.

This is my experience - if you get them through the mini-series and into "33" and "Water", they are sold (most with just a viewing of "33".

Agreed -- actually "33" by itself has hooked a number of people I've pointed that way.

The cliffhanger this past year has grabbed a few more (the "One Year Later" caption is what I think floored a lot of folks)...

To be quite honest, I was one of those people who was fan of the original BSG. I gave the new BSG a chance. I'm glad I did..

Those episodes are very good, and they're all I've seen so far, since I'm just getting into the show on my brother-in-law's advice. But the most jarring thing to me is that Adama & the President seem to treat Baltar as though he's a rational stable, resource for detecting Cylons, or whatever -- when actually, every time he's on screen, the guy looks like he's on the verge of a nervous breakdown or bursting into tears at any moment. Is this just over-acting by Callis?
