What makes you think I would trust what a reviewer would say or how many awards a show has gotten. Elder Scrolls 4 oblivion has received about a thousand 8 to 10 out of 10's, yet the game is mediocre by anyone with more than half a brain's standard.
Me saying it's unpopular doesn't include the entire world. I was more or less meaning in my area, as I have quite a few friends at my college, and a lot of them have had a conversation with BSG brought up, most of them mentioning how they hate it.
As for the ratings being incredible, yes, they are. Opinions are always incredible towards someone else's opinion, why would I trust the opinion of a complete stranger saying good things about the series over my own? Why
should I? I'm not going to believe or agree with someone when they say a show, series, or hell even a religion is good or the best when I have no prior knowledge of the subject in question myself.

Winning Saturns, Peabodies, Spaceys, and Emmies isn't exactly nothing.

It's nothing worth mentioning if it has no merit to my opinion.

So again, if you simply don't care for the show, that's fine. Just don't brush it off.

Why not, if I don't care for a show I will brush it off because as said, I don't care for the show. That kind of goes hand in hand.

BSG has touched, sometimes heavy handedly, on a huge number of pertinent and modern issues.

If I had no prior knowledge of the show, that would immediately turn me off. What business does a science FICTION show have on parodying modern life situations, current events, and politics. This shows not only a lack of originality but a subliminal message of a potentially one sided viewpoint of the current situation, event, or politic parodied.

BSG's real core lies in the computer-literate people (for obvious reasons) that aren't afraid to simply download a show through torrents or whatnot.

Right...would that mean you download it?
