    I always like to tell my BSG story.

    1. Watch mini series, it’s good
    2. Don’t get into the rest, forget about it
    3. Come home one day to flat mate watching it on DVD, just as the Galactica jumps into the atmosphere on New Caprica and jumps out again.
    4. Me: “I need to watch this from the start”
    5. Flat mate ejects the disc right then and there and inserts the first disc of the first season.
    6. We watch it every night until the end

    Best TV ever made.

      The overall story really flailed around as the later seasons went on (IIRC during a writers’ strike is when there was a lot of issues), but ‘33’- the first episode of the first season is so fantastic I still remember it distinctly.

      The style, tone, and acting of BSG really kept the show intriguing even if the plot went in circles sometimes.
