I'd like to know what your objection to episodes like "Living Legend", "War Of The Gods" and "Hand Of God" are. And the "strong females" distinction for TNS is an argument that has to disregard the importance given women in TOS, especially Sheba.





Well, Living Legend , War of the Gods, and Hand of God, had their momments, but
IMO they did not compare to Saga of a Star world and Lost planet of the Gods.

The first two had a urgency and danger to them as in TNS. Other than War of the
Gods, the BSG faced Cylons that had turned into incompetent comedy relief.

In the 1st two eppys we got to see the heart of the family Adama........

As the series progressed.......... the Adama family rarely interacted. You rarely saw Athena, Adama and Apollo take time to even say hi to each other........

Plus these love triangles didn't work for me....................
(Cain, Cassie, Starbuck.) (Apollo,Sheba and Iblis.)



As for the strong women comparison...... sure TOS had Athena, Sheba and Serena with Cassie are strong women characters........ I am not taking away anything
from them.
