I would recommend this to everyone, not just the SciFi geeks. This series has amazing story lines, that are not repetative and always thought provoking. I love the characters, and the rediculousness of the Baltar character, and the situations he finds himself in. The acting is what really amazes me. It is not your common scifi series with the low budget acting. Edward James Olmos is always steady and composed, delivering these completely perfect performances, and the performance of the ensemble that comprises the crew is tremendously understated, and each character seems perfectly cast. I cannot believe i never watched a single episode of this when it was in production... i even remember thinking I would never enjoy the show... this is not a Star Trek show people. Very different and very engaging.
