Yeah, I was pretty pissed about that one until I saw the very latest episode and heard what the writers had to say (those sneaky bastards!). I still find it amusing that

Meh. It jumped the shark when Laura got all well from the fluffy Cylon blood.

I think you nailed it. But it could be a Seinfeld thing. Picture two BSG writers brain storming...
Writer 1: "So what's the plan? Can you tell me what the plan is? Because I have no idea."
Shorter Balding Writer: (excited) "That's it! That's the plan.... there is no plan!"

Pssst - 1. Spoiler! (Though probably there are so many spoilers already in this thread... yeah)
2. Dude, she relapsed, remember? It was only temporary. No fluffy.

SHAMELESS, I was a bit wrong on the time. It wasn't a month ago, more like 4 months ago. Here in Belgium that was the first time it aired.

Folks here and elsewhere have pretty consistenly bashed the original Battlestar, and I always need to defend it. It's hard to go back in time 30 years, but I guarantee you that if you were a teenager or young adult then you would have loved the show, and would still love it today as I do.
The friendships and comraderie of that original cast were very real, and although it was frequently a bit regimented in its style, it had a magic to it....good story telling with well-defined characters you could relate to. It also had humor and romance and FUN...things lacking badly in a lot of today's material. It also had a bevy of beauties gracing the screen :
Jane Seymour
Maren Jensen
Laurette Spang
Anne Lockhart
Those gals in their heyday would give our BDH gals a serious run for their money in terms of looks & personalities.
So next time you think of the Original Battlestar, at least show a tad of respect to this great, groundbreaking show from 1978.

Thanks Chris for your support....ya know until Firefly came along, I'd have to say it was my most favorite beloved show. During the 1980's I videotaped every episode I could get, did the conmmercial edits with my "wired" remote control...had about 15 of the episodes. I bought the DVD set a couple of years ago..a real joy...all 22 episodes and many 2 and 3 parters. Anytime you'd be interested in discussing episodes or people just write. Just a quick flashback here....remember guest star Kelly Harmon from the 2-part Greetings From Earth episode? I still get all squishy inside when I see her natural beauty, and I've been married for almost 30 years....oh, that's why!

For those who hold up the ratings as proof that the show is tanking, BSG has been recognized as the most downloaded TV series (from iTunes, mainly) and one of the most frequently Tivo/DVRed shows on the air. Niether of these are factored into the standard Nielson ratings. And the DVDs sell very well.
The show is doing fine. It just doesn't show on the old-fashioned tracking methods.
