[hands Baltar some recon photos]
Admiral Helena Cain: You know this thing used to sit in our mess and eat our food, and listen to our stories. Didn't you? You just sat there... listening to us, pretending to be our friend, didn't you?

Great Show!

OK so i started watching Battlestar Galactica during season 3, a friend of mine was a huge fan and got me hooked. Since then i have bought all the DVD and seen every episode. If you're looking for a show to watch this is one to seriously consider, its got action its got drama, there is depth to the characters and everyone can find at least one that they relate to, for me its Lee "Apollo" Adama. If you take the time to actually watch the show you get emotionally invested in the characters and what they're going through, i recommend it to everyone and personally think that it is the best show on TV; my Friday nights will never be the same once it ends.
