BSG Season premier

[moot]

I hadn't watched BSG at all until now, avoided all the spoilers so I could enjoy it once I had time for it.  With all the praise it's gotten, I was expecting something really good... 

Not.  The first episode is pretty good, and the episodes after that have some ok moments, but otherwise it's nothing more than a cheap soap opera.  The actors are crappy, the dialog is corny, the characters' personalities are inconsistent...  Pretty disapointing.

Does the acting and do the scenarios writers get any better as the seasons go on?

[Saintaw]

no. Total FAIL imo.

It's ok, not everybody can follow the story lines.  It's unreasonable to expect everyone to function at that level, but those models still have their uses.

Chairboy, the acting is mediocre and so are the scripts.  Maybe they're competing for who can do the corniest job - I dunno.  The setting for the stories is good most of the time, but it just never pans out like it could.
I followed the story and the acting (suspension of disbelief), and scripts still sucked as bad as B/Z series like "Earth 2" or pretty much any top-tier soap opera.  The random appeals to emotion are mind bogglingly cheap. Overall, it's like the filming sets' cardboard sceneries are about to fall over any moment.

Moot, quick question, does the version you're watching have Lorne Greene or Edward James Olmos as Adama?

Adama released her. Gave her a  ship with jump capability with a hand picked crew to let her go
find the way to earth. Adama said he believed her and would rather be wrong in following her then
not try.
