Yeah, I think I can see how watching S1 to begin with, it might not be immediately compelling; I started in the middle of S2, caught up with S2 as it aired, then started from the beginning, so I knew how awesome it would get.

It is so exciting to see someone else who liked the way BSG ended! (There are dozens of us! Dozens!) It seems like fandom haaaaaaaaated the ending and it makes me feel alone.

I really need to finish watching TNG too...
