Another thing I really love about this show is the music. Bear McCreary is one of the most creative newcomers in composing soundtracks. I met him in person 2 years ago in Hagen, where he attended the premiere of a modern ballet-show which contained his music (played by a live orchestra, a very cool event). He's younger than me (than most of us here, I'm jealous ;) ). But he's a very nice guy, and since he's blogging about his compositions and asking fans for their opinions, he's giving you the feeling of being involved.

But the BSG music is stunning. Richard Gibbs wrote it for the Pilot (with McCreary assisting him). Quiet and yet very percussion heavy. The music evolves over the four seasons and gets more and more complex. But the really fascinating part is that through season 3 the music becomes a character of its own. It becomes part of the storyline in a way I've never seen before.

The soundtrack albums are all worth buying, also some other stuff he wrote like "Terminator: SCC" and "Human Target".
