Recently I've "re-discovered" Battlestar Galactica in it's fourth season. I've watched in only a few times in the past three years. I thought it was boring in parts and I hated the character of Baltar (thought he was grating).

well, Baltar is still annoying, but I've have been duly impressed by the rest of it! I would reccomend this a great deal, and you need very little primer to understand what's going on -- basically the first 30 sec of each episode.

Highly reccomended so far! I especially love the recurring theme of the nature of the "identity". What do you define your life as, and can you change who you are?
