I've been in Battlestar-Galactica-Marathon-Mode for about a week now. I'm up to episode 14 of season 2 and I am completely sucked in. It definitely fits the bill of being "soap-operish" with its often too-easy resolution of the subplots, but the writing is overall good and so far the larger story-arcs seem to be well-thought out. I also like the acting and the characters themselves, but I can't think of the second-in-command guy (can't think of his name right now) as anything other than "John McCain". Anyway, I still have alot of hours of mindless tv watching ahead of me, but I just wanted to comment about how great this show is.
BTW, Starbuck owns you all.
