Ditto.

This has to be one of the best tv shows ever. The one thing I always go on about when it comes to this series is that as a sci-fi it stands out as one that somewhat abides by Newtonian physics (no sound in space) and is an anti-space opera...no sweeping vistas of the big, bad empire; believable characters with real flaws and failures; a dedicated focus on the characters' point of view vs. the enemy; etc.

Although I'm not sure I would call it "hard" sci-fi, I like the attention to detail in regard to how they approached the filming and special effects.

Of course, that it's a space western doesn't hurt.

I need more sci-fi like this.
