In any case, I think my assessment that it takes a real fan of sci-fi to consider BSG one of the best shows ever was pretty accurate.

Also you haven't seen The Wire? wtf?

the reason i said it was arguably was what spider said. it's a show about big ideas. no other show can really get into those types of issues. scifi is the really only way to do it but put on top of that the fact they are humans fighting against machines for very survival it just became something other shows couldn't come close to. and spider was right about religion: making the humans the polytheists which no one could really relate to, and the cylons the monothesists which people could relate to was quite lovely. well, that and some of the cylons looking like humans made things more gray. it challenged the viewer instead of just showing them black and white. now, i really like scifi so it puts it to the top for me, but i wouldn't put any other scifi show anywhere near it. star trek was very episodic and while some were extreme high points for television, as a whole the various series were okay to good. BSG had a few episodes that left me wanting, but as a whole it was glorious.
