Of course, I'm cheering for Gaius Baltar, so I may have a different view of the show than most.As to whether it makes a drastic turnaround is actually a more complicated question.  The last part of Season 1 and the first half of Season 2 is where they really hit their stride.  In particular, episodes 2.10 - 2.12 are flat-out *superb*, rivalling the best of any other scifi show.Unfortunately, I feel the writers made a sub-optimal choice in the next episode, and the rest of the season is a lot weaker.  Hopefully this coming season will be better.I actually think that watching the DVDs might be a better way to experience the show. You get more episodes at a time, and you don't need to linger over any one character's actions.</blockquote>
