Incredible show. This was my first big Netflix DVD binge, if I recall correctly.
BSG has the same sort of character arcs and soapy storylines as Firefly and For All Mankind (which my wife, daughter-in-law, and youngest son's girlfriend universally liked.) BSG is just heavier on the military action.aggieactor01 said:
Is this something I could get a not-so-into-sci-fi wife to watch? I never saw this and have always wanted to. Just need to figure out if I even bother trying to get her to watch. She loved Firefly but that was more to do with Joss and that cast than anything.

It's a travesty to skip the old series, but other than characters and a few musical homages, they have nothing to do with each other.G.I.Bro said:
Can I skip the old series and just watch the mini series followed by the one that started in 04?

Disagree on firefly. Lots more political arcs that I found to be boring. Firefly had none of that. In spite of that, I very much enjoyed BSG on the whole, and the political component, while getting old at times, did serve a purpose to the overall story.
IMO BSG was nothing like firefly.
