Showing mundane stuff that doesn't move things along at all. Adama crying many times, looking at paint dry, painting a single color on a wall. Well yeah that's realistic but, it's not the type of show I was watching prior.

So very agreed. My feelings about the show toward the end entirely.

When I started the show I couldn't stop because it sucked me in and I was really enjoying it. Through some of season three and all of four I was often just watching because I felt an obligation to myself to see it through to the end. What engaged me so much in the first two seasons was long gone, and I now felt pretty much everything Twist just described.

I definitely agree that there were some slow parts.  The first two seasons were phenomenal, but the middle of season three was slow going.  However, I have to say the first half of season four is probably the best BSG had to offer other than the first 12 episodes of season two.  "Guess What's Coming to Dinner?" is awesome, it was all so fast-paced. 

I wasn't as big of a fan of the second half of season four and all the civil war type stuff, but a lot of that is to blame on the writers strike that was going on at the time.  They weren't sure if they were coming back after the mid-season break, and I feel like it really screwed up a lot of their long term storytelling goals.
