Oh, I was so nervous as I clicked on the lj-cut, there! I'm glad that you loved it. It's probably not justified for me to love it as much as I do, but oh god, I love it so much it breaks my heart a bit. I could cry just thinking about how good it is. I can't wait for you to see the next season. The presentation of the episodes just gets more inventive. It's so novelistic. I really appreciate getting to look for the theme of each episode and watch as each character deals with this his or her own way. And definitely, having well-rounded supporting characters helps the show. A lot of people, for example, think Joan is flat at first (uh, except in physique), but it just takes a bit longer to get to know her.
I haven't had the pleasure of watching BSG. I was bitter and angry with Sci-Fi channel over the cancellation of Farscape and as much as I wanted to test out the new model couldn't bring myself to actually watch it. I still have plans though. It will happen because I've heard it's quite the thing.
As for Mad Men, I totally agree with you. After two episodes, I never thought that I would fall for this show and totally did. I think that the way that the characters are so complex and corrupt is terribly compelling. Don is ... Don! I love him for all of his faults. And then there's Peggy and Joan and Betty. I've actually been playing around with S1 Peggy/Betty fic. Nothing concrete or solid, just notes ... but still there's something about the idea of those two that I just love. Anyway, I hope that you continue to enjoy the series.
