I miss the first season, when it was 'deal with what was thrown at the survivors'. Since then, there were a few episodes like that, but they were the exceptions it seemed.

I really started to feel my interest wane as the series started focusing more on the events in the Bay Star (is that the correct name?) as opposed to the Galactica. That was when the focus shifted to more of the mythology as a central theme as opposed to a tertiary theme.
