Luckily us UK'ers have now seen the whole of the 1st series - and what a series it is. Characters that interact well with each other, non-hammy actors, breathtaking scenes in both CGI and quality of acting, intriguing stories - free of technobabble & moralistic and tidy endings, an enemy whose motives are not clear-cut - but VERY menacing, as well as some of the best risque gags that's been on tv for while
Also has a truely great B-story running throughout the entire season - which leads you to all sorts of questions and possibilites.
Hope this series gets a 2nd season - it definately deserves one.
The region 2 dvd for the 1st season is out soon too!
Some cool BSG BBS (1 of which you can ask some of the actors questions, the other has Chief Tyrol as a poster):-
