Emotional only word that describe it. I'm not one of the schmaltzy guy in the family, but this drama made me affected with every way it could. If I had to choose one word to describe the series it would be emotional. You find yourselves being close to different characters throughout the episodes. Sometimes, you are taking important decisions with Adama;you are agitated with moral dilemmas,toughness of being a real soldier,friendship... Or sometimes you're along with Starbuck, while notions like obstinacy,contumacy,freedom,incontrovertible attractiveness are echoed in your head. In Battlestar Galactica, every character has something to say. Things that somehow affect you emotionally. Throughout seasons I witnessed such moments that it was simply impossible to watch without weeping.Take my word: These scenes are not few. Up to Battlestar Galactica, I never thought I would be touched by a science fiction works... After the last episode of Battlestar, I felt, as if I'had make one of my friend's farewells. Still,If you decide to watch it, after sometime you'll find yourselves as a companion to all the crew in Battlestar. I think, it's this sense which makes BG so emotional.
