I think the acting on Battlestar Galactica is top notch. It’s the characterization and writing that’s a problem. I get no sense of most of the characters as real people because they whipsaw back and forth between people who have their act together and people who are totally falling apart and seem to have no consistent personality, values, or goals that maintain continuity across even a few episodes, never mind the show. It’s like they’re angst machines rather than real people. Maybe they’re all Cylons and that’s what a Cylon is.
KevinDavis, please add me to the list.
I agree the characters seem to jump around quite a bit. The previous season had me scratching my head at times.
The final cylon was out of left field and really didn’t make a whole lot of sense. I can see why a normally ‘together’ person might lose it (Dee), but man, she was one of my favorite characters.
I am watching season 1-3 again in between new episodes.
