I've been really evangelizing BSG pretty hard to lots of my known Sci-Fi watcher friends.

And that's why it so pains me to say: Second Season really is not as good. I think still worth watching, but the cheeze factor has been even more impossibly high in the second season.

Where the first season had the novel "will they even survive at all" factor going for it, second season seems to be much more like "48,570 people learn the value of family and spiritual togetherness while stranded in space", which isn't so much what I signed up for.

So if I said hyperbolic things to try to convince you to watch it (you know who you are), I hereby retract those statements as they pertain to the second season.
