I agree with everything you write here. I do think that Battlestar Galactica (BG) suffers at points, but overall it's one of my favorite shows ever. I agree that Firefly is essentially a western set in space. It's badass.

I watched BG in less than 2 weeks the first time I saw it. I was hooked. Later, I rewatched the entire series with my wife. It was during this time that I realized how lame the whole Starbuck love triangle stuff was. There are a series of episodes in a row all about relationships which never drive the over arching plot line of "finding earth." -It's frustrating, but worth getting through because the plot starts to pick up again, in a big way thereafter.

Such a good show.
