I admit I shouldn't make such heavy-handed comments about a show I've not paid much attention to.
It does make me wonder why so many things insist on running past their due course, though. I'm starting to wonder if "sequel fever" tends to degrade (not necessarily negate) certain achievements. Consider The Matrix, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park, and so many other good movies that had less impressive or downright terrible sequels. Maybe television serials (emphasis on serials like BSG, as opposed to stuff like Family Guy) would be better if the writers would stick to just one or two seasons.
