I recently bought the 2004-2009 BSG complete series box set on DVD since it was reduced in price by quite a bit. I have yet to start watching it (though I had watched some episodes when it originally aired on TV here).

And in case you were wondering...yes, I did draw Tricia Helfer's BSG character, Number Six.

I never saw the reboot of BSG. I loved the original 70's show with Dirk Benedict.

I'm a BSG reboot fan, but I never cared for the original. I wasn't even aware of the series being a reboot until halfway through its run when the sci-fi world was gripped with BSG mania.
The reboot series mostly still stands up for me, but I will admit that much of the tension of watching it as it aired is now nonexistent.
Even as the show aired, I had problems with a lot of the main cast's acting ability. If not for Sackoff, Callis, McDonald, Almos, Stockwell, and a few others, I'd say the whole cast was B grade in terms of acting. Luckily the show had many other things going for it, including its writing, music, production design, and the overall premise.
The dog fights were cutting edge at the time as well. I haven't really seen anything that matches them since.
So say we all!

I wasn’t a huge fan of the remake series but at the time they were making a big deal about sci-fi Fridays on the sci-fi channel and they had the two stargate series leading up to BSG and that’s how I got turned on to the star gate stuff which was awesome

Comcast has announced that their NBC Universal streaming service Peacock has reached 33 million subscribers as of the end of 2020. That is far ahead of projections as Comcast had hoped to reach 35 million subscribers by the end of 2024.
Peacock subscriber numbers rose by a whopping 11 million in the fourth quarter, with more than half that coming in the last three weeks of the year. The rise is partly attributed to Peacock becoming the exclusive streaming home of “The Office” from January 1st.
The impact “The Office” on subscriber numbers won’t really be revealed until April, same with their recent deal with the WWE Network to become the exclusive streaming home to thousands of hours of wrestling content.
Peacock’s number jump is being helped by both its offering of a free ad-supported tier and by making its premium tier free for Comcast cable subscribers.

I’m a fan of the remade series. Never saw the original one. But the newer one was loads of fun with a lot of cool concepts. It’s been a few years since I’ve revisited it. Maybe I’m due for a rewatch. I at least own the miniseries and Season 1…so I’ll start there.

I was an Uber fan back when it aired ( my IMDB name was even PresidentBaltar from 2005-2016 ) but I rewatched last year, and I didn't really think it was all that great anymore.

I'd watched the mini-series that kicked off this reboot when it aired on TV...then for whatever reason didn't watch anymore until I happened to catch the last episode of Season 3. I then must've watched an episode of early Season 4, as I recalled seeing a scene I'd watched before when watching the show all the way through this time. So, I'd seen a few episodes...but nothing more. When there was a good deal on for the boxset, I decided to buy it...but it'd been sitting unwatched for ages before I finally got around to watching it.

Let it breathe like a nice wine. I usually find it a pleasant almost detached experience watching a show or movie long after it's come out, especially if it had a lot of hype at the time. I'm sure it was great when it came out but it's probably aged even better now.

I already know of at least one character who'd likely be on your Top 5 favourites list. Thank you. I appreciate that.

I don't think I was as enamored with the series as a lot of people were. Like I said, I'd watched the mini-series and recalled only the vaguest memories of it. Upon my rewatch, I was enjoying Season 1 quite a bit (though there was the occasional 'boring' episode). That season was what I'd imagined most of the show was going to be like. With Season 2, I thought things really picked up with the Pegasus two-parter, and unlike most (it seems), I actually enjoyed the the Razor movie. It was the jump ahead in the Season 2 final and then basically the majority of Season 3 where I found myself getting bored/not that interested, as the change of scenery just wasn't doing it for me. However, I thought things started to pick up again with the beginning half of Season 4, then things REALLY got interested in Season Part 2. Hell, when I started watching the three-parter, I didn't even realise that was the last three eps of the show until I started seeing things that I'd been spoiled for, then I realised that was the end. All in all, I didn't do too badly with characters who were my faves dying (only two had bit the dust by the end of the series) vs my least faves dying (all five were dead by series end). There was stuff I liked throughout the show...but also quite a bit of stuff that annoyed me/pissed me off. I'm glad I bought it/watched it, but I doubt I'll be doing a rewatch anytime in the near future.

There's so, so, so, so, so much TV out there (and movies) it's almost maddening. Sometimes when I rewatch things it creeps into my head I've seen this already and could be watching something else.
It sounds like a complex show. Not plot-wise (I wouldn't know) but the highs and lows you describe. Kinda peculiar experience when the end sneaks up on you I imagine.
The more I look, the more I'm thinking it was indeed Babylon 5 and not Battlestar Galactica that I'd seen here and there, though friends of mine very were into both (and more).
