I knew you would like Dead Like Me. It gets even better. And BSG - those episodes were the ones that made the series my fave series in the history of TV, surpassing my love for Buffy. I was literally gripping the arms of my chair when I saw them - and I had to wait a week for the next. It was agony.
Re: Dexter, the smugness is important, because basically every assumption Dexter has about himself is going to be ripped apart in the course of the series. Also, yes, same actor, and he's brilliant in both roles. The relationship with the father is crucial and there are plenty of flashbacks more to come. No, Deb wasn't child-abused, but Harry (the father) has a good chance of being one of the creepiest (and intriguing) characters on tv anyway. Re: Rita, wait and see. Also, the supporting characters in general turn out to be fantastic (and not exactly like Dexter (and we) sees them in the pilot), which starts in the second episode.
Re: Pegasus, oh yes. Sucker-puncher of an episode, and you can see how this would have been Galactica without the civilians - think of Kara and Lee using an image of Sharon for target practice an episode earlier, and you're on your way to the dehumanization which makes the fate of the Pegasus Six model (called Gina though the name never makes it on screen for some reason) possible.

Is his brother going to come into it? I'm guessing that he is. There's gonna be twistedness to rival Alias, isn't there? I bet there is. Uhuh. *nods*

I'm really looking forward to that now. *g* I haven't had a chance to just sit down and watch anything more - crazy madness on this end - but it's good to know that much twistedness awaits.

Yeah, exactly. I'm really pacing myself with BSG 'cause I wanna have a nice long think on the nastiness of it all. It's saying quite a few horrible things about human nature, and it's terrifying that I can't disagree...
Here are two posts which I wrote at the point where you are now, i.e. after "Pegasus", and which are consequently utterly unspoiled for future developments:
