The first character I first fell in love with: Laura Roslin. In the pilot, she's so far from being prepared to run things it's not funny, NO ONE takes her seriously at first - but she knows the job's fallen to her, so by God she learns as she goes. And Laura learns fast.
Plus I immediately admired her humour, her humility, and her commitment to the primacy of civilian government - although of course Laura is not perfect and ventures into morally grey areas quite often as the series progresses.
The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Lee Adama. Most of the time I found him somewhat flat and two-dimensional. And OK, infidelity, but his betrayal of Dualla left such a bad taste, I can't even. Although he redeemed himself a bit by defending Gaius ata the trial >:-D
The character I love that everyone else hates: I'm not sure how hated he is by fandom, but Number One/Brother Cavil was FABULOUS. Such evil snarky goodness.
The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Eep, I'm not that actually happened with me. Maybe Chief Tyrol? My affection for him waned after the Revelation, for whatever reason. I did think he was awesome as Union!Man!Galen, though.
The character I would totally smooch/get friendly with: at the moment I'm thinking Starbuck. She'd be a terrible influence in lots of ways, but she's brave, a loyal mate and would be great fun to get drunk with.
The character I’d want to be like: A mixture of William Adama, Laura Roslin, and Romo Lampkin.
The character I’d slap: Gaius. Who doesn't want to slap Gaius? He's eminently slappable.
A pairing that I love: Mmm, probably Adama/Roslin... the way they developed that beautiful, deep mutual respect and affection.
A pairing that I despise: the early days of Saul/Ellen made me cringe. Ellen's death on New Caprica was a masterful touch of tragedy, though. (I'm still not sure what I think of the Cylon-reveal aftermath.)
I read your blog comments on BSG and was trying hard not to duplicate them, but it was no use because we are braintwinned on Apollo and Cavil. And a good many others apparently.. *shifty eyes*
OK, to Battlestar Galactica.
