First BSG was often in the top 40 it was not canceled due to low ratings if it had not been such an expensive show to make the studio would have been overjoyed over its ratings, shows with less numbers were not canceled. To justify the cost the show needed to be shown on Sundays where the big bucks were for ads at the time ,it did not come in the top ten which is what it needed.Adama did not hate politicians he had been a member of the council of 12 for a long time he was good friends with the president. He believed in the system if he had not he had the power to do something about it. As for Zac he sucked it up he had to there was not a lot of time to grieve but there were scenes a great one with Athena where he talks about the pressure of playing god.Col Tigh was also Adama's old friend and wingman and he was the one who hated  politicians.Apollo was never uptight what he was, was an honorable man with a sense of duty a loyal son father husband and friend. Willing to lay down his life for the people he swore to protect. If this was DnD he would have been a paladin.Starbuck sure he was all that but as the show progressed you saw why he was like that he was afraid of losing people after all he was an orphan. Dirk Benedict brought charm to the role this new Starbuck has not done that as of yet.Boxey I never had a problem with the kid I thought he added charm to the show. Showed what it was like from a childs point of view. I loved how well he adapted. Muffit was another story but it was a product of its time.Baltar had a reason for his betryal POWER plain and simple the agreement he made with the cyclon's was simple the other colonies destroyed his colony spared and all humanity to be under his rule that is hardly no reason.As a hard core Trek fan I loved Shatner's get a life but then I have a sense of humor. I didn't like Next Gen but not because it was not TOS but because I often found the characters to be smug and sanctimomious. But I also realized the fact that the show was a success made it possible for the show I loved to have more movies made about it.Sorry since I did not find the 70s show characters to be 2.0 I disagree with this. I found a lot of these characters to be 2.0 because they were just sterotypes been there seen it a nd seen done better.Of course Hollywood only cares for ratings it is a business and they don't want mine I am the wrong sex and age so my opinion does not count. Charlie's Angels was not the same type of show it is apples and oranges comparing them. SF shows tend to have more of a devoted following. And since this America I have the right to bitch moan and complain all I want to  about them changing my favorite show. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
