In my opinion, one of the greatest shows that has been on television. Not only was it able to successfully blend science fiction with competent storytelling and superb acting (especially James Callis as Gaius Baltar), but it continually addressed issues ranging from dystopian psychology, torture, and ethics to gender roles, society formation, and theology. The motivations for virtually every kind of action and response to stimuli are examined and turned inside out throughout the entire series. During the week of the series finale, two of the main actors, the reimagined series creator, and a producer of the show met on a U.N. panel to discuss the human rights issued raised during an armed conflict! This show has had much to say about the human experience in multiple facets of life and it will be missed.
