Dude, have you seen Rescue Me? I'd say it's better than BSG. By a little, anyway.

The last few episodes leading up to and including the finale redeemed what had been a fairly unremarkable season. Going to agree with Chris on this one, Rescue Me is the better show at present. As another poster suggested BSG isn't even the best sci-fi on TV after this past season.

I get the definite sense that Edward James Olmos was unhappy with the direction (or lack thereof), and MADE them declare the 4th season to be the last, in hopes of getting the writers back on track.
A bold move on his part, if true.

I'm new to Battlestar Galactica. My CSTS weekend was more than amazing. I got to be Jane Espenson's assistant the entire weekend and I promised her I would start watching Battlestar. Seventeen days later I have gone through Seasons 1, 2.0, and 2.5. I am anxiously awaiting the release of season three so I can tune in for season four. Le sigh, I can't believe I've waiting this long to watch it AND it took someone from the writing staff to convince me! hahaha, But I do not regret committing to it. It's made me appreciate Firefly all the more. And the effects? They are BEAUTIFUL!
For the record, I want to have Starbucks babies.

I know how mean this is going to sound BUT, I find it hard to look at Olmos.

You cannot say a show has "jumped the shark" until it can be viewed from the very first episode (in this case the mini-series) to the very last episode. Until you have seen it in it's entirety, you cannot possibly know how plots and themes used within the show will turn out.
Also, it's a shame that so many Browncoats have turned into self-important jerks. I've watched all of Whedon's shows from their beginnings, and read a great deal of his writing, but I still enjoy other works. All of you out there that put down other shows/movies/etc. and the fans of those projects should feel ashamed of yourselves. Just because it isn't something you enjoy or choose to watch, doesn't mean it isn't any good.

This here's exactly the sorta thing I wanted to say. So, yeah, what Grizwald said. :)
