I think I still slightly prefer LOST but BSG is quickly gaining ground. Last week's episode was phenomenal aside from one minor problem (so as not to spoil, I'll just say that Kara's confrontation should not have had time to take place before Anders caught up, but I can overlook this).
Dr. Who is another fine program that keeps getting better and better.

I know this is a Firefly board, but in a way, Galactica is the show carrying the battle standard of daring, genre-challenging sci-fi forward after Firefly was cancelled. Like I've said before, it's not as perfectly constructed and nuanced as Firefly was, but it's also a lot more ambitious in its scope. So to join the accolades
A-frakking Amen to this season number 3.0 Wow!
Select to view spoiler:
When they're all pinned down and it's looking hopeless, that jerky camera action pans up and WAY WAY up there you see....the Galactica in free fall in the atmo! Oh man I nearly fell out of my chair! And the little "thank you" To Pegesus, the Winged Horse, using her severed wing to swat one more basestar aside. Amazing. And Tigh...poor Tigh. That little bit at the end,
"Not all of 'em"
Man, how much can one guy suffer?
Can't wait to see what happens now.

Seems like every episode is touching apon real world themes these days. Anyone notice in the last episode(Collaborators I think) The theme of a president passing laws to illegally detain & try people... where have I seen that before..
Its not only the best damn show currently on TV it has valid social commentary.

Last season I wouldn't have been able to tell you which show I liked better (mostly due to BSG's rut from ep 13-16), but this year I can easily say that (for me) BSG outstrips Lost in pretty much every way. I'm holding out hope that Lost will improve.

I watch Lost too, pretty much cause its better than most of the other tripe on TV but it doesnt even compare to BSG! Different ballparks.

Battlestar Glactica I think is definitly one of the all time great sci-fi shows & one of my favorite TV shows in any genre but Firefly is definitly better,plus you have to admit not every BSG episode is excellent(there all really good still) while I found every episode of Firefly excellent.
My favorite is Firefly,then BSG,then 4400,then CSI:Miami, then Lost

I'm one of those who has seen the original Battlestar Galactica series (when it originally aired, lol). It was superficial, qua story; and the characters were equally shallow. But so was I; and I loved it. And now we have the new BSG. I have matured considerably over time (or so I hope); and lo and behold, BSG grew right along with me! :) A real story, with real depth. And actors to match! Gripping; can't-tear-oneself-away-from-the-screen kinda tense.
In earnest, BSG is unbe-frakkin'-lievably good! It's got all the excitement a grown-up boy can dream of. It ain't no FireFly, though. BSG has bonded with my mind; Firefly with my heart. That's the difference. That don't mean BSG is bad.
And poor and brave Ellen Tigh. Finally did the right thing. And it was the wrong thing. Go figure.
Then there was Kara. I don't think I've ever seen her so vulnerable and robbed. Not so afraid of losing something that she wouldn't try havin' it. Then lost it anyway.
...deep sigh...
I firmly believe they show FireFly in Heaven. But when the old man steps out for a moment, I'm sure they watch BSG, too.

Only thing that could make BSG better would be guest appearances by some of our BDStars.
'Specially since Galactica lends itself to repeat appearances, both because of the multiple Cylons and the finite numbers of refugees.
Imagine Alan or Nathan as Viper pilots, or Ron as captain of a refugee ship, or Morena as a Cylon (just to get poor Baltar caught between her and Six 
).

I'd love to see some of BDH on BSG too! Maybe Adam as a cylon (they've yet to have a manly man skinjob).
Frankly, I'd be surprised if it never happened. Stargate has had both Jewel and Morena, plus Summer's role in Mamoth...if I didn't know better I'd say Scfi knows the power of the Firefly fan base and wants to lure us to the other projects by any means. But regardless of theories, BSG has numerous Firefly influences (gerenal appearance of all special effects, Kaylee=Cally, Serenity's cameo in the mini-series) and having one of its actors would be the icing on the cake!
