This is one of the best television shows I have ever seen. And this video by freelancerxo02 - every episode in seasons 1-3 in 5 minutes - shows why. It's sex, violence, politics, and a surprising number of kick-ass (not spunky) female characters.  There aren't very many good BSG AMVs (they're either sappy and couples-centric or devoid of characters and battle-centric), and this one is disguised as a "trailer". Ha! If every AMV was like this I'd be in YouTube Heaven. I just had to share.

Also, I have a real bone to pick against people who make comments like this: "Don't think I would call it poignant though. It's science fiction."  God, opinions like these are really starting to wear on me.

I love Battlestar Galactica so incredibly much. It is easily the best science-fiction show ever made, because it goes beyond being a sci-fi show, and asks really good questions about politics, religion, and morality.

And fuck, the soundtrack? They play perfect background music at certain stages that increases my adrenaline to such a high level, that I feel my heart is about to explode.

There are some fillers now and then, but when it becomes good, it becomes perfect.

I agree, it's pretty perfect. I only became aware of it actually through ads for the finale, and I just thought, damn, looks like I should have watched that show. Then I found it on reruns in Indonesia.

i think i've actually seen a few episodes of that show, but it was very, very long ago.
