BSG Characters

A couple of times in recent weeks, I've gotten into discussions about Battlestar Galactica, and specifically whether the show had particularly good or bad characterization. This makes me curious about what people think on the subject, so I shall assuage my curiosity in the tried and true LJ fashion: let's have a poll!

This poll is intended for people who have watched a fair amount of BSG. If you haven't watched at least half a season worth, just skip right over it. Note that there are two distinct questions here; they're related, but please think about them separately. This is strictly focused on the characters -- for purposes of this poll, disregard questions of plot, plausibility of the scenario, and so on. Feel free to add further opinions in comments.

[Poll #892555]

One thing I particularly like about Galactica, is that they explore not only what happens to people when thye break under grief and pressure, but what happens when they have to keep going anyhow. It's scary, and ugly, and it breaks my heart, but it also uplifts me in a way to think about just what can be survived and endured. And the show does make me think about those things.
