This was my reaction to the close of the first series of what is undoubtably some of the finest serialised televion produced in the past decade on another forum...

...WOW[/u].
What an ending!
As of five minutes to nine o'clock in the evening G.M.T., 24th January 2005 A.D., the final episode of the first series of Battlestar Galactica closed, and with it, fifteen hours of some of the categorically and indisputably best television I've ever seen.
I shall refrain from discussing the numerous amazing and astounding facets of this brilliant coup de theatre in respect for our American forumers who are still in the second or third episode... but I think I can safely declaim that it changes everything. The final ten minutes rendered me and my mother absolutely dumbstruck and forcibly dragged me to the edge of the setee. Even if you're not especially impressed by Battlestar Galactica (we know that there's one lonely, lost individual out there somewhere), you must stay the course.
This is a programme that's begging for a second series. The plight of the Colonial Fleet is a story that needs to be told. God in Heaven, don't let it be cancelled for more reality TV tripe!"
You can imagine my unadulterated and genuinely immense delight, then, when I discovered that this stupendous series wasn't going to suffer the ignominious fate meted out to John Doe and Firefly and was indeed to be blessed with a second series: www.scifi.com/scifiwire2005/index.php?id=30357
It may sound rather premature to flag this up considering that the series hasn't even started filming yet, but this show is so impeccable I think that it deserves as much publicity as it can get - American forumers, if you haven't tuned into it yet, do so as a matter of urgency!
Battlestar Galactica is authentic, compelling, arresting, passionate, vigorous, explosive, intense, relentless, varied, inventive, relfective, thoughtful and intelligent all at the same time. I can't wait for another 13 episodes!
